Step Out
Share
🚡 I took myself up the Sea to Sky Gondola. Heart racing. Palms sweating. Voice shaking. Eyes closed, because I absolutely could not look out those windows. 😅
Huge respect to everyone who glides up there and just... enjoys it. That courage is real. 🙌
I live in Squamish, where people hurl themselves down mountains for fun, and I know a lot of those same mountain shredders would rather face an avalanche than speak in front of a room full of people.
We are all scared of something. 💛
Here's what I know 👉
When we Step Out! of our comfort zone into the growth zone, we thrive. But venture too far and we hit the panic zone, and in that gondola, I hit it hard. 😂
The tools I used to bring myself back are the exact same tools I bring into every improv class and 1:1 session I run.
Breathing, presence, and nervous system regulation; whether you're dangling in the sky or standing in front of a crowd. 🎤
That's why I named my business Step Out! because growth and joy live just outside your comfort zone.
Public speaking is not one of my fears, and helping others find that same freedom is one of my life's purposes. Through improv classes or 1:1 communication mentoring and public speaking coaching, I've got you. 🚪✨
(Fun fact: I learnt aerial silks to conquer my fear of heights, but soon realized I was in control, so it didn't work out as planned 🤨)
We're all working on something.
Let me help you with yours. 📩 DM me to chat about 1:1 sessions.

😂 WHEN AUDIENCE MEMBERS BECOME PUPPETEERS… MAGIC HAPPENS! 🎭
This is and playing 'Puppets' at our March show.
They can speak freely but can’t move unless Kate and Carolyn (past improv students) physically move them like marionettes! They have to justify EVERY random movement. 🤣✨
The scene? Bird watching best friends in the forest… high on M**A. You can’t make this stuff up, except they ARE actually making it up on the spot! 🐦💛
This is the beauty of the Squishy Squamedy Show: real people collaborating, trusting each other, and creating moments of pure spontaneous joy together. 😀
When you put yourself in your scene partners’ hands (literally!), the unexpected becomes hilarious. 🔥
This is no ordinary improv show.
This is community connection, creative courage, and laughter that stays with you long after! 💫

I almost didn’t write this. 🥹
April has been a month of everything all at once. Grief and gratitude sitting side by side in a way I didn’t know was possible. 💛
💔 I’ve been grieving the relationship with my family that I want but will never have.
🐱 The almost loss of my cat. She’s ok, but for a few days I sat with the possibility of losing her and it broke me open.
🕊️ The loss of a friend from Whistler, fresh and raw and still finding its shape.
🐍 The quiet but profound grief of shedding old identities and patterns that have defined the first half of my life.
✨And the tender realisation that I’m turning 40 on June 13th, standing at a threshold looking back, knowing it’s time to step into something new.
It’s been a daily emotional rollercoaster. 🎢
Some days I’ve felt incredible. Some days I’ve felt like absolute s**t. 😬
And yet four days a week I walk into a room full of humans choosing to be brave. 💪
To play. To laugh. To let their walls down. And every single time it saves me a little. 🎭💛
I come in as the guide. I leave having been guided too. 🙌
Play is healing. This month I felt it in my bones. ✨
💬 Can you relate to holding grief and joy at the same time? I’d love to hear how you navigate it.

Yes, But. 👀
It sounds like listening. It looks like engagement. But something gets lost. 😔
Because here's the thing; our relationships are everything.
Think about it.
The greatest joy you've ever felt? Probably connected to another person.
The worst pain? Also probably connected to another person. 💛
The people in our lives have the power to lift us to our highest highs and hold us through our lowest lows. And yet how often do we actually show up for each other? Really show up? 👀
Yes, But chips away at that.
Every time we half-listen, redirect the conversation back to ourselves, or nod along while mentally already somewhere else, we create a little more distance. And over time? That distance adds up. 😬
In improv, one of the very first things we explore when building a scene is relationship. Not the plot, not the punchline, the relationship.
How do these people know each other? What do they mean to each other? Because without that foundation, nothing else lands. 🎭
That's true in life too.
When we Yes, But we erode our relationships slowly, quietly, without even realising it.
When we Yes, And we build them. 💛
I made a little something to show you exactly what Yes, But looks like in real life. From friendships to the boardroom.
Watch till the end. You might recognise someone. 😏
(That someone might be you. It's okay. It's definitely been me. 😂)
