If you haven't already, you need to meet Erika Broom. This woman is an absolute badass and a queen of big leaps.

From moving across the country, closing her photography business and shaving her head - we dive into the magic that unfolds when you follow your gut, even if it's not what you thought you'd be doing next.

We talk about:

  • The synchronicity of how Erika and I met through her boudoir photography business
  • What it was like relocating from city life in Saskatchewan to the Kootenay mountains in BC
  • Giving yourself permission to share all of you online - the highs and the lows - and not just what’s deemed “acceptable”
  • Following the nudge to slow down, switch gears, and take a new career path
  • Erika’s personal memoir about being married to a trans person, aimed to be a resource to help partners of people who are transitioning

And lots more!

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
