Episode Notes

We've reached the end of the first season of Braving the Waves and we will be continuing onward with a new format very soon. But for now, it is back to your regularly scheduled show notes!

"See, I told you that you could do it." This week, Mikaela speaks with Stephanie, an elementary school educator in Ontario. When not teaching, she enjoys cosplaying at conventions, watching shows and films with her husband, travelling the world, and attending theatre. She enjoys assisting others in the neurodivergent community and advocating for mental health. In this episode, we reflect on music, magic, solo travel, the paradox of time travel, how to actually glow up, and water as a metaphor for nearly everything. Here are a few tidbits of our conversation:

Being a role model and giving back to organizations & community create incredible connection points.
Using and exploring water as a metaphor for everything, especially unpredictability in life, struggle, and triumph.
Thinking about glowing up beyond the physical attributes—feeling better rather than looking better. We 'glow' differently when we're healthy & mentally well. This energy is transferred—others notice! Glowing up is not always something you see but something you feel.
Pause to ask, find out, or think about if someone needs help, even if their behaviour makes us uncomfortable.
