Me
Mom / Wife / Homesteader
The only thing more beautiful than the sound of children’s laughter… is the silence when they finally go to bed. Can I get an amen?
(Kidding. But also… not really.)
My oldest son is 26. Then came the trio: ages 13, 14, and 15—back-to-back-to-back. I was home free, people. And then, oops… I did it again. Three years in a row.
Back in 2014, my ex-husband and I pioneered the fine art of Co-Parenting. Over the years, we’ve been interviewed on the topic and have become passionate advocates for it. What started out of necessity has since become a bit of a trend—especially during the COVID era, when co-parenting took center stage for many families.
In 2018, we co-created The EX-Files Motivational Comedy Show, which successfully toured Southern Ontario, bringing humor, healing, and honest stories to the stage.
Now, with over a decade of co-parenting under our belts, we’re still reaping the rewards of healthy, respectful relationships. In August 2024, I remarried—Mr. Brian Hahn, the love of my life. And guess who stood beside me at the altar? My co-parent, Warren. Together, the three of us raise this legendary crew with love, laughter, and a lot of coffee.
Myself
Comedienne
I’m thrilled to have ignited the next level of my dream—transitioning from soft skills facilitation back into my first love: comedy.
In 1996, after surviving a traumatic brain injury in a highway accident, I found something unexpected on the stage of Yuk Yuk’s: hope. It was the one place I felt truly at home.
After five years of intensive cognitive rehabilitation—and more than two decades building a new, successful life—I’ve returned to the stage with a new title: Motivational Comedy Specialist.
I bring a deep well of personal development wisdom to my performances, delivering an alarmingly consistent message… with unapologetic transparency.
Real time.
Real life.
Constantly conquering.
Relentless.
and I
Motivational Specialist
As a natural-born—and injury-heightened—empath, I have an innate ability to quickly foster environments rooted in mutual respect and inclusive connection.
My mission is simple: to enhance the quality of life for every person I encounter. Whether it’s audience members or those everyday, serendipitous moments—I recognize the magic in them, and I know how to meet it with presence.
Every session I deliver is shaped by the unique objectives of each participant. What begins as a shared experience naturally evolves into a series of practical, personalized techniques—tailored to meet the needs of both the individual and the group.
In the right environment, I’m able to not only build, but maintain hundreds of meaningful relationships across diverse communities.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to become a highly sought-after consultant, known for designing and delivering customized programs that meet both personal and organizational goals with impact and heart.
