for radio. Welcome to the podcast this week. I'm just

(00:27):
gonna ramble for a bit, like I always do at
the start of every podcast, because why not people like
to hear what's going on in my life. I think
I'm excited to bring my conversation with Jose Loyer. I
believe I didn't butcher her name there. I always have
trouble with the French names because I am missed a
vicey a vice, Chad a Vice. I am not drunk

(00:50):
and I have. I almost had a chance to hang
out with Jose and her husband Dan in the last
couple of weeks when I was in New Brunswick. For
those who were, for those who are listening to my
last week's podcast, last one with Valerie Saint Ange, I
did the intro when I was out in Booktush, New Brunswick,

(01:11):
visiting visiting my son Alex, my soon to be seventeen
year old son, Wow, time is flying by. She was
riding on her tricycle out that way. Yeah, she passed
through Nova Scotia and was heading through New Brunswick and
I almost almost had a chance to see her, but
I missed her text message in time when they were

(01:32):
passing by the highway I was near, so I missed
the chance to see them and get another photo opportunity
photo bomb with them on their bikes. But yeah, I'm
really excited to have this conversation with jose come out now.
She tells about all her trips around the US and
Canada on her motorcycle, what motorcycle life means to her

(01:56):
as well as a big part of her life is
her teaching job. Educator educator children, young children, just basically
shaping their future, shaping their lives. Very cool, sometimes very
thankless job. The parents, from what she says, did appreciate
a lot of her unique teaching style and skills that
she would bring to the table. But let her get

(02:16):
into all that here on the podcast. It's very cool.
I do plan to do a podcast spiler Alert one
detailing my trip out to book to New Brunswick because
it was the first time I ever drove my car. Well,
first time I ever drove a car out there. Drove
out there, if you will, because, as you know, as

(02:37):
much as I love the Chevrolet Bruise, at her old
age at the time, there's no way I could take
her out there. There was no way she'd make it.
So with mystique the new to me twenty seventeen, Hyendai
definitely made her first major I assume major major road
trip out to New Brunswick nine hundred actually over eleven

(03:00):
hundred kilometers or whatever that is in miles. Sorry for
the cough out there, and yeah, so it was. It
was a unique adventure, just something I want to detail

I'm a teacher, so teaching online, switch teaching online. Don't

(05:23):
Everything's closed. I need my freedom. So like I talked
in my book about feel like in cage all the time, Well,
COVID did that to me and I kind of it
affect my relationship. So we had to take some time
apart and came back together. And after there is a

(05:46):
lot of things I had to work on myself. And
now we've been back and you know, the communication is
the key in the relationship and working on my Yeah,
but we're still work on my self. I still like
do therapy. I still I have my medication, but I

(06:06):
still I keep working on myself every day because it's
facing your demon. It's a battle, Adhd. It's a battle
about Everything's a challenge in life. When Adhd, it could
be time to be people could be work, could be time,
could be season because we can talk about that season.

(06:30):
I know when I know winter is coming for me,
and that means prison. It's prison. So August, I'm starting
to feeding it and I'm feeling it, and I'm like,
I mean, it's no more motorcycle, and I'm getting anxious
and anxiety. I mean not anxious, but I get anxiety,
and so I have to That's why I got into dancing.

(06:55):
I do ballroom dance and selsa to like. I go
to events in the winter. I dance almost every night.
I have to stay busy. I try to forget about winter.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Do you take classes or do you teach them?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
No? I take classes. Well, I teach dance at school
on my lunch break though, so students, Yeah, I teach
my students my lunch. I don't have lunch. I teach
all dancer lunch. I dance. I eat when I teach,
and so I'm ready at lunchtime to teach dancing. So
kids love it. So I have to keep my mind
busy all the time, which can be a problem too.

(07:31):
I don't I don't have a rest moment. So that's
what I'm working on right now. I need to be present.
That's what I talk in my book too, about being present,
and we can talk about that.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, after book for sure. That's gonna go back to
something you said. You mentioned that COVID everything damage your relationship.
Can you describe that a little bit? What do you
mean by that?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
You know, my husband was able to go to work,
to his office, so his life didn't change. His life
didn't change, which my life completely changed, which I had
no First, I love traveling, I couldn't go anywhere. Second me,
I'm a teacher. What I do and how I'm successful,

(08:15):
it's it's the contact. It's the relation, not relationship, but
the chemistry I have on my students. I didn't have that,
and it was hard. It was really hard.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
And because you guys are always right there together, like
all the time, like morning, day, night exactly.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
So I was working, I was cooking in my kitchen,
I was working in my kitchen. I was like I
was there morning and morning tonight. And the gym I'm
I work out every day, and the gym was closed.
I had to work out at home too, so I
was just I went, I don't know, I went, I
went crazy, so I couldn't I couldn't deal with life anymore.

(08:57):
So I became miserable and very impatient. So I wasn't
a nice person anymore. And I guess I was not
an happy person in a relationship and I didn't. I
was not nice to him, and he got fed up,
and so we had to.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Did he feel the same way? Was he getting impatient
and just felt like he was trapped and kind of no,
do you feel the same way as you?

Speaker 1 (09:22):
No, he's very mentally stable. I'm the mess. I'm the mess.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Because some people when COVID hit, right, some people were like,
oh my god, I can't stay home, I can't be Nobody.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Wasn't home and him, No, his life didn't change.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, his for some people, they just accepted.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
They're like, okay, no, no, no, because his job was
kind of you know when they're when some you know,
like when if you work in the hospital, you had
to go to work. So when.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
One nothing changed, he still had to go.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, so his business was still ready running, so he
was going to do office to work. It was so
it was a bully. So his life didn't change. His
lifestyle didn't change. Was ratine for him, same routine for him.
But me, it was like, oh yeah, and I took
it hard. I took it very hard.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
It was definitely a learning lesson. Right, you learned a
lot from that experience and brought you guys back together after,
so it has a happy ending at least, right.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, it was hard relationship. Yeah, it was hard. And
I know, I know I'm not the only one because
you hear stories like that. COVID did a lot of
damage into society. Yeah, I don't want to get to that.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
So you rode here on your motorcycle, which, to be
honest with you, I thought you were a avid cyclist,
a bicycle rider, so I was impressed to see your
motorcycle pull up here.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
So now if my friend here that, if my friend
here this, they're gonna be like, what, No, You're never
going to see me with a bicycle helmet.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
That's what I was gonna say. So you never wrote
I'm not to say you never rode a bicycle, but
I didn't. Riding was never. You just want to ride
motorcycles until you buy a car.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, when you get it.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Do you have a car?

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, I have to because my bike. You can't ride
my motorcycle in the winter.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
To me, motorcycle riding. This is just me. Obviously, the
idea of it is scary. Obviously not to you.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's scary.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's scary because it's just you're out there. Well, you
hear about all the stories, right, there's it's easy.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, but people die in crossing the street. There's people
die from cancer every day, that's true. There's people die
from eating bad food every day. And people still eat
bad food. But it's okay. But don't ride a motorcycle,
you know, So you get that.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
A lot of people question you whenever you say, oh,
I ride motorcycle, and people say, oh, it's not safe.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
You wouldn't believe there's a story. As soon you ride
a motorcycle, as soon you stop somewhere, you put your kicks,
doan you don't even have one foot on the ground,
there's someone come and talk to you. They like your bike,
they question, and I have me my dog on a bike.
So they question and blah blah blah, and all of
a sudden you hear the story of their life. Or

(12:07):
they know someone that knows someone that died died in
a motorcycle accident and oh no, my wife won't let
me get wine or I would get wine, but I'm
gonna I'm gonna go so fast I'm gonna kill myself
or like my blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm like, just you could write a book on people
who told you the life stories about their motorcycles that
have nothing to do with really anything other than their life.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Sometimes I think, like, do you have a sign on me?
It's like, please tell me your life.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
We must be approachable, even on your bike with your helmet. Yeah, yeah,
that must something you tracked people to to talk to you.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah. But people, yeah, they see you, especially when.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
You're dogs here. Just so people, so.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
When you're like, let's say I write a lot in
the United States, and when you're just across the border,
it's not when I you've further, Like last year I
went all the way to Tennessee and and it's wherever,
especially because I ride by myself as a woman. Often
I ride with my husband, but there's the time I
ride by myself. Yeah. So so let's say I go

(13:14):
to I go a lot to vermontum Cheer and in Maine,
and every time I go, I get women approaching me.
Oh my god, sorry, oh my god. You read along
was your husband, Well, it's not in my bag.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's like, it's not in my back bag.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Well, because oh my god, do you have a gun.
Do you have a maze something? I said no, because
because woman on a motorcycle, you don't see that often.
But I just tell them, I said, have you met
a French teacher in vacation? Trust me, we don't need
a gun. Nobody nobody mess with a French teacher in vacation.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
So you should wear that as a sign French teacher vacation.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
But no, I get that ask a lot, and especially
with your Ontario plate. People like, oh my god, you're right,
and like yeah, the worst question I get. Okay, they
see my dog like, oh my god, it's the dog
right with you on the bike. Well, she didn't run
behind me. I get that every day, like.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
They're surprised that she can stay there and not jump out,
or that you might lose it.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know that the dog end up here one time
the dog's in or carry on my bike? Is that
your dog? Well? I hope. So I could write a
book about comments and question around a motorcycle that people tell.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
You should a whole diary and every little all true
stories of the road or something.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Like that, and you want to be nice because people
are just you know, they just try to find a
way to come and say hi.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
But sometimes you just like That's my question too, is like,
how do you deal with these people? Do you like
try to keep the conversation short and sweet and get away?
Do you?

Speaker 1 (14:55):
It depends how I feel like a celebrity. It depends
how I feel.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Seriously, photos, more pictures.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
I'm on a lot of pictures and a lot of video,
especially like I'm at an intersection. I have people asking me,
do you mind if I take a picture of my
Oh my god, let's go. I'm used to it because
of the dog, because of me, not me. It's me ya.
They don't care about me. Well some man. Maybe depends
what I wear when I ride when it's hard, I

(15:21):
wear a little top. But it's more media, so date
that's cool. They're like, oh my god, it's so cool.
Oh my god, gonna take a video, Oh my god,
my wife's gonna look. Oh, I get all the stories
and my okay whatever. I haven't seen a TikTok with
me on it that I haven't made. I'm like, oh
my god, that's me. You know because people film. I'm like,

(15:42):
I must see it. I'm going to see myself sometimes.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Missus saying people film a lot of stuff and then
they never use it like this, I guess it's so
cool and then they just stays on their phone forever.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, my husband does that.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Picture everything, pictures, pictures of his food, pictures of it.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
So you never rode in the winter time Canada? Winter time?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
You ever? You can't?

Speaker 2 (16:06):
You can't, you can't.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
There's no winter tire for motorcycle.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
And is it true I've never seen a bike.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
But no, you're gonna slide.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
I guess that's true.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Have you ride a bicycle and on on ice?

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I have? Yeah, it's not fun.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
So how was you ride?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Wonderful? I guess that's true. It's never I've never seen it. No,
it's never seen it. I've never seen a motorcycle in
the winter time, have I Maybe?

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I know? I love challenge I have.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
I'm pretty sure, Like with the salt on the roads,
I mean, I'm.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Sure you can't do my way, you can't do that,
and even you know what, I'm sure I rode like
in spring, in and fall, like I started in March
because I'm crazy because I missed it. But I dress
really warm and because I have a GSM WGS twelve fifty,
so it's full equipped, like you have to eat it
end all and I where to eat it best, and

(16:52):
this and that. But still you wear so much layers,
which is not fun. But but yeah, so when the
pictures below seven degrees, you don't have as much traction
traction on the ground, so when your turn, it's dangerous.
And in the spring you have to wait for a
few rain day to wash off the salt because the salt,

(17:14):
that's what damage you're enjoying. So so yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
But where's the farthest you've ever traveled? Furthest take a plane.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
I went everywhere without taking a plane. I went to
was last year because I go to United States a
lot every year, all the way to Maine. I love
the main And you can ride without your helmet. It's nice. Really.
Oh yeah, it's not every state that require an helmet.
You have to check, but some states you don't. It's
not mandatory to wear.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
It isn't that dangerous.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Well, like if I ride on highway, I will put
it on because the wind anyway, the dust and yeah,
in your face. Yeah, but when you're just like in
town or right by the ocean and you know it's nice,
You're just like it. It's so much freedom. People don't understand.

(18:06):
But it's the freedom. Yeah, it's dangerous and I'm like,
you know what it is, what it is? Oh, yeah,
I was at It was last year. I did the
East Coast. I went all the way down to Virginia Beach,
and after I turned to North Carolina and I went
to Tennessee and I was supposed to keep going all

(18:28):
the way to the west in California and go up
beasting stuff. And it was too hot, too hot, And
good thing because there's starting to get a lot of
fires west and the flood right after I left North Carolina.
There is a lot of flood and the road I took,

(18:49):
so I was like, I was there. It was good timing.
Where when I went and where I went at that
time was good timing because if I would have waited
a week, I would have been too late. So yeah,
so but yeah, that's the further I went down. And
after I did a PI, I did Nova Scotia.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's nice.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, oh that's very nice. And at the end of
June I was supposed to go west to Montana and
after BC Alberta, and everybody was discouraged me. The fires
are starting, there's the quality of air is bad and
things like that. So I'm like, oh no, I said, okay,

(19:33):
you know what I'm going down. I'm going to see
my friend in Florida. And for four days I rode
in fifty plus degree I thought I was going to
die one time, and I said I was in Virginia,
and I said, that's it. It's too dangerous. I was
scared to lose me of eat stroke and and myself.

(19:54):
I said, if I faint, I dropped my bike. I faint,
it was going to take care of my dog and
I'm going to end up, And who's going to take
you on my bike? So I'm like, so I went
back up to Pilsonville, Pennsylvania. So I went back up
and I was home and I can't stay home. I
need to ride. So a couple of days I was
home and I'm like, in twenty four hours about a

(20:17):
ticket to go to Sweden.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Just like that, on a whim, I'm gonna, yeah, take
my bike. You didn't take the bike on the plane,
didn't ship it over.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I didn't ship because it's too expensive now used they
used to have a program with Air Canada, and now
it's too expensive. So I rented a bike.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Therell because you couldn't stay home. He's just like, I
gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I gotta go.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Sweden. Why Sweden? What made you?

Speaker 1 (20:36):
I have a friend that lives there in Lund, and
I'm like, I'm gonna go visit her, and I'm going
to start from there and go do my trip. That's
why I decided to go to Sweden because I didn't
know where to go because there's so many places, and
people like, don't try to do Europe all in once.
I'm like, you don't know me. And it looks everything
looks close when you look on the map, but once

(20:58):
you're there and you're ride, it's another story. Foreign language,
nobody understands you.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Do you speak any of you speak Swedish or anything
at all?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
With my accent just in English, it's enough. But they
also beat English there Sweden, Sweden and Denmark they speak
like they learn English young at school.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
So so I've heard you.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, so yeah, that's how it started. So that's the thing.
Last summer. I did the same thing too. I come
on from a trip. I'm like, oh, it's nice to
be home, nice to go to my gym. And I
wake up one morning, Oh, Bed, I'm going to Maine tomorrow.
What Yeah, I'm I mean, I'm going to Nova Scotia.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
This is your husband, You're telling them I'm going here.
I'm going to I'm going to Russia, like Russia.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
But yeah, so this week took me everything not to
go anywhere.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
So how does he feel about this?

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Ye? Has nothing.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Oh but you're your husband. He doesn't like he's not
with you on all these trapsy but he has to
go to his office. He can't just pick up and
go to Maine, Virginia, Sweden. Okay, we're good, Okay, Okay.
So yeah, he's scared that you when you go on
your own, But nothing's too scared. Has anything when you've
been on the road. Has there been ever been an
incident where he felt unsafe or scared?

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Oh my god? Last year, Oh my god, you can't
see it on my Facebook. You must have seen it.
I'm talking the eighteen will. The eighteen will. I was
in Bose and I was I went to spend a
couple of days in Quebec City and I was on
my way to go through Bows and Quebec and go

(22:41):
to Maine, and that was the beginning of my trip.
I just took off and I'm going through an intersection
and I see the big like truck to eighteen will
on Quebec and it's a small village. There's nothing going on. Okay,
there's that truck and me coming behind, and there's house
is like it's a village, very quiet. So anyway, and

(23:03):
I see him and I see him, and I'm like, okay,
he's going. So I'm coming. Because usually you stay far
and you won't shirt. You won't, you won't make sure
the truck sees you. But he's he's going. So I'm
coming and I'm going close because in my head by
the time I stopped, there is already.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Gone, like beside him or behind him.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Behind him, And all of a sudden, I'm there to
do and I'm fully loaded, like with my luggage, my
bag's everything. So I'm over a thousand pounds okay, wow,
and I have my other Yorkie Bebey it was three
pounds and my tank bag in front. Okay, So all
of a sudden, I'm like, wait a minute, the truck

(23:43):
is backing up, and I'm like, I'm on my tippy
toes on my bike, so I might try to back up,
but the truck caught up to me faster than I
could back up. So and they can't hear me, like
with the noise and the window and my two shirts
and no cars is there to tell the truck to
stop backing up intersection? Yeah, So all of a sudden,

(24:06):
the you know, the middle bar behind well on my
will and after I started crushing my bike. So I
was getting crushed under. So I'm like, or I'm gonna
die under this truck. So I had their reflex. I
just I just jumped off my bike like like Marville,
you know. And I jumped and I ended up in

(24:27):
the moll street and I was like waving, I stop, stop, stop.
So she saw me. She stop, and I was looking
at my bike and I was in shock. I was
in shock because in my head I thought I was
going to die. And second you rolled my vacation, I know.
So anyway, so people stopped the cup com and then
the two wings and whatever. They took care of me.
So we deflated the tire to move the bike, and

(24:51):
I went to a mechanic, and the mechanics like, you
know what, it was just cosmetic damage. I was lucky.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Why was she backing up?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Oh? She was a new driver and she didn't feel
like she had enough room to turn right, so she
decided to back up with no signal, no noise, nothing.
So by the time I realized she was backing up,
I'm like, whoa. So even if I was honking or screaming,
she couldn't hear me.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
A car there anything. She didn't even think to like
ould check behind me the vehicles like no, no.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Because imagine if there was like a car and another car,
another car, they cannot They wouldn't have time, so she
would have just ran into all the cars. So she
was accused of dangerous driving. So she probably lost her
her license for trucks for sure. She's dangerous, poor girl.
I was more mad at well, I was in shocked.

(25:43):
There is a woman stopped by, like can I help you?
And I'm like, just tick my phone, my cards, my
insurance everything. I don't know what to do. I'm gonna
go sit there and I didn't know what to do.
So the lady just because I was in shock, and
I had like old women come in, like older women's
and your women coming out of their houses because you know,

(26:04):
I was the action of the day. I'm pretty sure
I wasn't the news that night. So they took care
of the baby, my dog, and I had babysitter, and
I was like it was fine, and and I called
Dan and he's jumping his car. He's like, I'm on
my way. I said, no, no, no, just wait and
a few it's few because I'm in Quebec. I'm close

(26:25):
to I'm I'm close to Quebec city. So yeah, so
I just wait, just wait. So you drove like an
hour in a call. I said, no, no, no, the
mechanics good. I'm keeping. I'm writing, I'm going on my
trips like what I was like, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I'm nothing's going to stop you, nothing's going.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
To stop me. I had a lot of peace missing
in front. But I'm going, well, so it was now yeah, yeah,
and yeah. So I got it repaired this winter.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
So it wasn't that much damage compared to what you
described it. The way you described it.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, I was scared of the wheel would have been
crushed nothing, and I was lucky in my bad luck.
But but uh oh yeah, but the thing is I
had to I was going to Maine, I was going
to Camden, and I had another four hundred kill a
mite to ride. So I had the PTSD from that

(27:20):
moment in my head coming back. So I had to
snap out of it. So I went to that hotel
and I booked two nights in a row because I
needed to park my bike to clear, clear my head
and just start fresh. Yeah. Oh yeah, it was traumatizing.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
But I didn't turn you from wanting to ride or
keep riding and keep going. You still go out there because,
like you said, things gonna happen are.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Nothing scares me. But I stay away from trucks.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah, obviously a truck ahead of you or coming behind
you or whatever.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
But I was scared for the first the rest of
that season, A few times I ended up being even
in Ottawa, I ended up behind a truck I had
to pull I was having anxiety, anxiety or panic attack whatever,
and I didn't feel good. I was like and I
had to pull over on my bike. And one time

(28:14):
I start crying. I start crying and my husband was
with me, and he's like, okay, I said, I just
need to let go that truck. I need to come down.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
So yeah, it took me a while memories of what
happened to make times PTSD.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
And when I came back from that trip, I stay home.
And after I left again and I was crossing downtown
Ottawa and I had those big trucks each side of me.
I said, okay, this is a test. This is like
and you know what, I made it, I handle it,
and that was it.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
That's good. When you're over in Sweden, how was the
driving over there?

Speaker 1 (28:52):
It was so nice. It's an adjustment. Yeah, it's an
adjustment because yeah, it's just the signage. Everything's different. Nothing
in English, no, no, but it's so well. The sign
as so well.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Illustrated like they have.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
You can get lost. You can get lost, like let's
say you put on your GPS where you want to go,
and you know, because you know sometimes here they said okay,
next town it's this, but you don't have the sign again,
so you're like, okay, my turning here, I didn't see
the sign again there. It's like not once I was lost.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
And the town names too, like they're in Swedish.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
So in Sweden you think you're at Ikea. Okay, yeah,
every name you see on boxes and items.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
The street names like towns.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
And the town's all the town's names. It's the your
items at Ikea. I'm like, hey, I built the dress.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
With the addresser the town.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, that marks the same thing. Germany too, Yeah, and
nothing's in English.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Surprise though, I figured with the amount of tourism they
have been in Germany in the population or even in Sweden,
there must be some English signage. But very surprised because
of Europe. I mean, there's so many different language speaking people, right,
so I'm kind of surprised.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
You think so too, But no. I even met on
a ferry, uh sweet into Denmark. There's few because I went.
I took the ferry with my motorcycle and all the
motorcycle parked together, and I'm like, oh, I can chat now.
There is five riders with gs because GS, gsags, BMW

(30:33):
are popular there compared to Ottawa. I didn't see another
woman riding that type of bike, Like I'm sure there's
but big like my bike, it's not common. And even
on the Quebec side or maybe more west in US.
In US too, it's more early divitsen and sports bikes
stuff like that. Yea, yeah, so I'm like, oh yeah,

(30:54):
there's people with their bikes on the boat. I'm gonna
chit chat. It was five Italian men not once speak English.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Wow, kind of surprise, surprising for Italian. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
And you know when people drive those bikes, they're comfortable financially, right,
So you know those man's are I have a good
job or business? You think they speak English too?

Speaker 2 (31:23):
They have like a job. Maybe it's international or something
something you and I know, especially the world or travel
all the world. Yeah, I don't know, maybe not. It's
a business that has a lot of revenue. Who knows.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
It's surprising they speak only Italian. It's like it's rare
today that you see people that travels a lot that
only speaks one language.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
So strange. So we mentioned the book earlier. Talk to me, Uh,
it's I guess it's a journal, right basically if you're
a diary of your travels. What's it called? Is it
out yet?

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah? It's published on Kindle and I want to I
want to put it audio to O. I just haven't
done it yet because I ride all the time.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Are you going to voice the I know you can
do what you're writing. Are you going to voice it yourself?

Speaker 1 (32:07):
No, because my English. No, because it's in English in French.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
No, No, book is in English.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
The book. I wrote the book in French, I got
it translated in English.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
What's the what's it called in English?

Speaker 1 (32:21):
It's Scandinavian note Book, A journey, A journey of.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
You don't know, you're asking me read?

Speaker 1 (32:32):
It's because I just changed them. I had the subtitled
because in French it was too different from the French book.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
So I think it's called always running always escape, was it?

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Always? I don't believe this.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
That's in French. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah, but for me? What let me see what?

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Where's what you sent me? That's what I was asking.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, so Amazon, and.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Okay, So what is the name of your book?

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Scanden in English? Scandinavian Notebook, A journey through adhd and
back to myself?

Speaker 2 (33:16):
So why Scandinavian? Why not? In the title? Did you
start it there?

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yes? I started in Denmark.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
I started to write it there.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
I started to write it there.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Now what made you decide to start writing and write
it there?

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Well, I want to write a book for a long
time because I what diagnosed I was diagnosed with ADHD
at forty and all my life I was different all
my life. I knew there's something. I was always different
from everybody, and I was I was always the entertainment.
But I was always in trouble because of that because

(33:51):
I have no filter. But I didn't know why. But
it's very People laugh, people think it's funny. But I
was in trouble. Then I allowed jobs, and it affects
my relationship. It affects a lot of things and any
and when you go somewhere, you're a tornado because I'm
not shy. I have no filter and I have a

(34:12):
lot of confidence. So when you arrive somewhere and it's
it's disturbing. So as a teacher and as a teacher,
I was always even when I start teaching, I started
teaching late. I started teaching at thirty four, and I
was like the stuff I was doing, I was ten
years ahead of my time. And I was always in trouble.

(34:33):
Why you do this? Are you? Are you? Are you
respecting the curriculum? Are usually respecting this? I'm like, yeah,
I do it a different way. Are teaching elementary school?

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Like just every subject like that?

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Every subject?

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, yeah, every school.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, milk French catlery school.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
But you went outside the curriculum or this or you didn't.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
No, no, I used the curriculum. But I teach because
I teach with How can I say I teach with project?
I teach with When the kids become a leader is
in the center of his learning process, you know, and
I'm going to give him all the tools and subject
everything he needs. But I'm like, this is my expectation

(35:17):
and I want the students to develop. Is like let's say,
is leadership, is creativity, is self confidence? Is confidence too?
Is the self sorry self esteem? Confidence, self esteem? And
the collaboration because people need to learn how to work together,

(35:38):
you know, and it's okay to accept and work with
different ideas and things like that and communication. So I
use that a lot and sometimes I don't know, I
have to teach certain things in French. And I'm like, okay,
let's start with that book. What that book means? Okay,
can we create a book? Can we and mix that
with a painting that would be the cover of your

(35:59):
book that you know, like it's always ideal.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Outside the box where there are complaints about you doing that,
then the parents, not.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
The parents, not the students. It was always my colleagues.
I disturb in school because some schools, some people do
the same thing all the time. So what I was
always accused is you make dear people look bad. I'm like, okay,

(36:28):
but I love what I do. Kids love it. See
the progress. You know what when the parents tells me,
oh my god, it's the first time my kids wake
up in the morning and you can't wait to come
to school, that's my job is done.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
You know, that's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
I know it's a big deal. But I was always
called in the principal office as a teacher, what are
you doing this and that? And so other teacher. That
means other teachers are like complaining about me because what
what does she doing? And this and that? And now
the students wants to be with my name j Low

(37:03):
all the time, you know, but they don't like that.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
And uh't try to adapt like the teachers would adapt
to not just your style, but maybe bring some of
that ideas into their classroom.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
But it's it's not because they're it's not because it's
a bad it's not because it's a they're a bad teacher.
It's just because a lot of people are stuck in
that comfort zone exactly, and they're scared to try new things.
And I'm like, sometimes I try new things and it's
not working. I'm like, hey, guys, let's close this, let's
do something else. Is want my dam's gonna think of

(37:38):
something else? Or hey, you guys have an idea, how
can we change this? You know what? Kids have way
more idea than we do, and sometimes they come up
with stuff. And sometimes when they come up with an idea,
I'm like, oh, yeah, let's develop from there and there
and there, and that's how it grows, you know. But
some teachers are like, no, this, this, this, this, so yeah,
so that's why. But now I'm in a school where

(38:00):
I was welcome, but still I use a lot of
technology and social media. And I had a principle was
on my case every day. She's gone now. But I
had issues with every principle where I worked, and they tried.
I had a principle told me, you know what, I'm

(38:22):
tired to bring you down all the time, and yeah,
and this is how we do things here. And I
just got up and I looked at him. I said,
oh yeah, watch me. And when I won my first
price of a teacher of Ontario. That's my speech. I
put my speech, it's on YouTube, and I talked about

(38:43):
him not saying his name, and I was talking to
a lot of people in the audience that their paidagog
to their teachers, and I'm like, don't ever let anybody
tell you you too much. You know what's amazing, because
that's what I've been told since i'm a teacher, that
you can't do that. You take care too much, you

(39:05):
care too much, you do too much, you make us
look bad, and this, Oh my god, how you do this?
I'm like, I never stopped anyway. But I didn't make friends.
I don't make really friends in teaching. I have colleagues
that I talked.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
To have the respect and people respect them. They respect you.
You don't need to be best buddies.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Exactly, but when you live at school, you kind of
become friends and you talk about personal stuff, you know.
So yeah, so no, I have, I really have. I'm
happy at the school who I am. And the new
principal she's like me, She's like, what's next, Let's develop
some idea. So I'm like, finally, you know, so I'm

(39:46):
this year just past I had the best year ever
that I had green cards. I had fun and my
ideas were like wow, compared to before. Every time everything
I did it was like never recognized. There always something
negative about it, right, Jealousy is really bad in education.

(40:09):
So anyway, I don't want to go there.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
No, it's good. I appreciate you, uh elaborating on all that.
How long of how long you've been teaching for? Is
this something you always wanted to do.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
I always wanted to do. I always wanted to do
an educator, always want to be an edicator. I was
six years old and I was even.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
My element in this class. I could run this class.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
No, but I was. I was always up until I
was it to nature. I was. I was that model student.
I was bringing all my stuff from school and play
teacher in my room and nice. Yeah, so that's what
I was doing.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Taking the barbie and a candle and making them have
any No.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
No, I had imaginary students. And apparently I don't remembers.
I don't remember, but apparently my sister. No, no, my sister.
I have a two and a half younger sister, and
she talks about stuff sometimes and I'm like, really, I
don't remember Apparently I was sitting her down and giving
her own work and she had to do the ome work.

(41:08):
It was like summertime, and I was like, I'm.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Like to hit her on the house.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
That's hilarious. That's funny. What's that Marie? Okay, that's amazing.
So you're basically living in your dream your dream.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Job i'd love to teach.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Is the specific subject do you like to teach? Or
is it just do you like the whole curriculum?

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Yeah, because I integrate them together. Yeah, like social studies,
you can mix them with friends. She can mix science
with everything. And yeah, so I like, I like to
teach everything. I'd love to teach a board. I've been looking,
but it's like a broad Yeah, but it's really hard.
It's it's hard and the pay is bad.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
And where would you go? Do you have that in mind?
If you wanted to go, like in the US or
across like in Europe or Russia.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
No, you and your Russia.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
You don't have to.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
I would pick somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
English as a second language, you could teach those courses,
or even French as another language.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Yeah, but there's less French in the world than in English.
So because I was trying to escape winter, I was
looking at teaching, let's say in Caribbean or Florida when
it's when it's really hard to find a job down there.
So yeah, but I'd love to teach teacher like go

(42:36):
to university and prepare them because I found new teacher,
and not prepare for.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
New teachers for kids coming to university.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
No, no, no, no, yeah, the teachers are going to
like when you do your first bachelor and now you're
going to do your Bachelor of Education. I found when
they start teaching in school, then not prepare of what's
waiting for them because it's not like it used to be.
Kids used to sit there and listen.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
It's not this anymore. Too much.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
You have you have to exactly. You have to be
an entertainer. You have to be more interesting than YouTube
and TikTok because they know them all. They know all
the songs. So if you know the songs and the
challenge of TikTok, you're a cult teacher.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Sho Oh, they love my bike the scratch from the trailer.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Oh no, I show them all. They they have my
YouTube channels, so my students can follow me on my
YouTube because they're young, so they don't have a TikTok account,
not TikTok Facebook account, but their parents do. So parents.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
But every kid has a TikTok account. Most kids don't
have Facebook anymore.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
That's kind of a yeah, but they're young. This is
elementary school.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
But they love YouTube. Kids love YouTube, so no, and
I just show them. I just share them my pictures
and they love to. And sometimes we go outside when
I go to work with my bike, so they come
and see my bike. So it's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
It's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Yeah, yeah, they want to. I want to go ride
with you, okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Find room with my dogs and all my stuff.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
I don't think your mom's gonna be happy with that.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Cool mom or dad, or maybe they ride too. You can.
They can come and tell you what they think about
your bike. And their whole life story is about writing
their parents.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
So the book that you're writing or have written, it's
just about your travels. There's nothing about your job as
an educator. It is nothing. It's just strictly about your road,
the travel.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
That would be another book. So my book, it's not.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
An autobiography by autobiography biography yeah, autobiography.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
No, it's really a realization and went through my mind
as ADHD and might always want to escape. I always
want to go. I always want to There's always something
else better, there's always a better job somewhere, new challenge.
There's always new challenge, the dopamine, the chase of dopamine
all the time. It's the when I was in Denmark

(45:03):
and I was like, you know what, and I cried.
I cried. Few nights during my trip, I was alone. No,
I couldn't. I couldn't look at my shows because the network,
you know, you can don't have access to the same network.
My Netflix plan wasn't working. I had nothing. I was

(45:23):
alone with my own thoughts, which I never do because
I DHD. Your brain always works, and there's always music
going on, there's always I don't do meditation because of that.
I don't want to hear my thoughts. I don't want to.
I don't want to really, I don't want to realize
the moment. I don't want to be in the moment.
That's what I'm trying to work right now because I

(45:46):
cannot just enjoy the moment. It's always like what's next.
I'm doing something but I'm always ahead of my time.
It's always like that. So it's very intense and it's hard.
And if I'm bored, I cry and I become really aggressive.
So that's hard on the relationship. I'm impatience and I

(46:08):
get mad, I get myself. I have to do things
that I like. So the motorcycle helps me a lot.
But in the winter, I don't have a motorcycle. So
so yeah, So when I went there and I was alone,
nothing to do, and I was crying, that's the the shotto.
I stop at one shotto and I mentioned it in
the book. It was beautiful and I'm crying and I

(46:30):
start writing it. And I started writing it and I
was like, and.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Yeah, feelings come out and they're right there paper.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Because it was the moment. Yeah, it was a raw
it was right there, and I had to explain what
I was going through because you know, sometimes you see
TikTok because there's so many doctors on TikTok andktok, I know,
I know, and people are even doctors or people write

(47:04):
they write books about ADHD. They don't have it, you know.
And people I help a lot of parents because they
come they come to me with oh, my child just
got diagnosed, and and and sometimes I approach your parents
about it and I'm like, you're wondering, what's going on
with your child. This is how your child feels right now.

(47:25):
And people think of DG is just about forgetting your
keys or forgetting what to do for this right proactivity.
It's it's so beyond that. It's inside. It's so much
going on. It's like ten eighways crossing each other all

(47:46):
the time, mixed with searching for dopamine, searching for happiness,
searching for the moment you know, and in all the
sound estimuli around you, in the expectation of the society

(48:08):
that comes in like, yeah, but I want to go
there and do this and do this. No, but in
society you have to be at work at nine and
finish at four. Yeah, but my brain's there, Like I'm
building a business in my brain right now. I'm a CEOs.
When I take my medicine in the morning, I could run.
I could be a CEO of a company I don't
even know. Like that's how our brain works. We can multitask,

(48:31):
we can do so much, but it comes so overwhelming
that sometimes you just want to escape this you try
to escape because it's too much, and now you end
up like that's what I'm writing in my book. I
escape there because I thought that's what I need. And
I was there and I realized, oh my god, I

(48:52):
have it good at home. I want my roots, you know,
you want to go back to your roots. You want Okay,
I'm good. I want to this then, and this is
all like crying and you know, like it's it's a lot.
It's a lot, and it's hard to explain. So imagine
for a child they're going through.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
This, who can explain, Like you can explain, they can explain.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
So that's why some people with ADHD works well without medication.
There's so many level, different level and sometimes it's just
add like attention, you know, but it depends your levels.
Sometimes you manage, sometimes you have you manage it, and
sometimes you need help like I do. So for me,
the medication ground me. So when I take it takes

(49:40):
forty five minutes and I feel it in my brain.
I feel it. It's like it's like the neurons are
connecting and I feel it tickling and all of a sudden, okay,
let's do this. But when I don't take it. I'm like, okay,

(50:01):
I'm going on my bike. Oh no, I have to
eat okay, yeah, but at the gym, Oh my god,
I don't feel like this, but I have to do this. Okay,
but my bike, Oh my god. Well I'm going today. Okay, Okay,
I'm gonna go there on my bike. But I don't
feel like going there right now. Okay, I'm gonna go there,
but I'm gonna turn around because I want to go there.
But yeah, but I want to go. Oh my god,
Oh my god, summer's almost over. I want to go.
That's what's going on my head. And that's just a

(50:23):
minute of it. So it's very tiring. It's very hard,
and that's why it's hard when you're a relationship.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Yeah, so you got this diagnosis when you were forty.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
When I was forty, because you get evaluation, you get
evaluate every whatever year. Yeah, so they said just passed.
So I always remember that woman changed my life, and
I'm like, yeah, she's like here because when you get
higher the school board, you're past some testing you know

(50:58):
to know your personality to you know the character personality,
your force and weakness and stuff like that. So she
put it down she's like, and that is a long
time ago. And she's like, see, you're very dominant, and
and why I asked to talk to you because I
see you. I see me in you. And I was like, whoa.

(51:21):
We talked for two hours and she gave me a
card of a psychologist. She's like, that's who I think.
I think you have ADHD. But she can't say that
because we're not a doctor. Nobody can say that. So
she's like, you have symptoms like I do, and if
you get an evaluation, go from there. But I suggest

(51:43):
just call this psychologist. And I did, and I went,
I got my evaluation. During my evaluation almost broke the computer.
That's how bad it is because the focusing like my attention,
it's seven minutes so and anyway I could go and
so anyway, So when he you after that.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
He reads the report evaluation.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
The evaluation report, after is figured out everything. So I said,
so do I have the tourettes? Because he's like no,
because I because me there's some I think about something
and I'm like, don't say don't say no. It comes
out because I haven't filtered. Yeah, the part in my brain,

(52:29):
you're not the part in my brain with the filter
doesn't exist, right, So that's why. And I always wonder
why people think it's funny. But when you're professional, because
you can't tell the truth anymore. Me, I don't lie.
Don't ask me when I think about something, because you're
gonna know what I think. So be careful what you ask.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
What kind of listener to my questions? So you said
you got diagnosed when you were forty. Now I'm asking
how old you are, but basically in the forty eight Okay,
So in those eight years you've probably learned what works
for you, what doesn't work for you, your triggers are.
Do you feel like you're good at managing that better? Now?

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Yeah, Let's say I go somewhere I'm in public, because
it's public. I have to be careful, right exactly when
I see something I see. I'm going to give you
an example. I was, I'm somewhere in a lineup, you know. Ye,
Sometimes you hear stuff and I see that woman that mother,
she's like, doesn't I'm going to be polite.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Okay, say what you want.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
So I'm I so when I see a situation, and
that helped me with the medication to be because I'm
going to remind me to explain, you had.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
To try different medications. I assume too that was also
part of the questions. You had to try what work
but doesn't work? They weren't always successful.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
But the medication helped me to think and to the
clarity and find okay, don't do this. So now I
know when I see a trigger, I go somewhere else
because if I go there, it's going to turn into
a fight. That's what's going to happen. And what stopped
me too, is like, I don't want to lose my

(54:05):
teacher's license if I fight that person. I want to
lose my teacher's license. But I get to I go
from zero to one hundred and one second when I
get mad.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Are these based on situations that are directly affecting you
or just things you see around.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
You, around bother you, around me that.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Don't really don't really personally attain to you. Do they
still affect you?

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Yeah? But now I can cut it. I see something,
I don't get involved. I'm like, what's the point, what's
the point. And I don't let things get to me anymore.
I don't want to get mad, So I'm like, I
see things and I saw people tell me to f off's.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Direct If someone's directly telling you something, yeah, but if
you're overhearing someone else fighting or someone's being annoying around you, I.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
Go somewhere else to go that. I go somewhere else
because I said, I'm not getting involved.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
So there was a time a mother you were I
want to finish that thought.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
Yeah, So I just I'm like, I was in a
lineup and I just told Dan, my husband, and I'm like,
and he knows, he knows. Is like I said, no,
I'm gonna wait for you over there, because I know
if I was staying there, I would have gone in
argument with that woman because that's what she was looking for.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
What was she doing?

Speaker 1 (55:14):
No, she was just trying to provoke people around her
because her child was acting up and people were looking
at her, and she was like, what you know, like
you know that kind of people.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
What are you looking at?

Speaker 1 (55:24):
What?

Speaker 2 (55:24):
It's not my problem, not your business exactly.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
And as a teacher, it's hard, it's hard to see this.
So anyway, and another example this week, I'm at a
beach somewhere. It's Calm Family Beach in Westport. Family Beach, Calm.
There's a van coming with two person with no common sense. Okay,
I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you detail. So anyway, the

(55:50):
music full blast, day, smoking drugs whatever, right beside where
all the families are sitting. So I'm like, don't go,
don't go, don't go. That's gonna be bad. It's gonna
be So I see other women, I'm like, ladies, can
you told them?

Speaker 2 (56:05):
I don't want to go.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
So my friend went. So she went, and I heard
them saying, telling your calling your names and stuff like that.
She just asked to put the music down. I said, oh,
you don't treat my friend like that. So I'm going,
but I'm going, know wing be careful. And the guy

(56:27):
it was, there's no way you could sense him. They
just took off anyway. But they called us every name
you can imagine. Okay, And I just stay there and
I just smile because I know I'm not like that.
What's the point of fighting with a person who doesn't
make sense? So see that's what before I would have

(56:49):
been like, I would have probably opened this door and
jump in the van, you know, but I don't let
no sense affecting me anymore. It's not worth it. It's
not worth it. I'm just like whatever, whatever, anyway, it's gone.
That was the purpose. It is gone. So what's the point.
Let's it's over. It's over. So that's that's my goal. Now,

(57:11):
don't get involved with things you can do nothing about it,
and don't let things get to you. We let everything
get to us.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
We get it's hard.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Life is hard.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Like I said, stimulation, there's so much coming, there's so
much reason.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
To and and the world is crazy. People are crazy.
People are I know, people are overstressed. People are crazy.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
And I'm like thinking for themselves, selfish, making their own decisions,
lacking common sentence, and go on forever. But that's the
whole book there too.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Yeah, and I'm happy with my life. I have everything
I need. I'm like, you know what, you're miserable in
your miserable life. That's on you. See. Yeah, that's how
I think. Right now, there you go.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
That's good. So before we wrap this all up, let
me ask you one thing here, So what is coming
up for you as far as you're writing your book
or teaching, do you have anything else that you want
to accomplish coming up like that?

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Yes, I always want to accomplish something.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
I know, a goal that you're working on now or
is any of those things or something else.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Yes, So I want to keep writing because now it
was hard for me to start writing because it's a DHD.
You always want to start a task because too big,
you don't start it. So now I wrote it was
just a small it's under twenty page. It was just
about what I was going through for an ADHD, not
to write a book of fifty page and whatever. It's

(58:34):
just something to even when it's going to be audio
to listen, you know. And my next it's I want
to write something about ADHD as a teacher and things
like that, and I want to talk about motivation and
how to to work with ADHD and motivation and all
this stimulia and the world of society of how we

(58:55):
work and stuff like that in my goal right now,
and I want to conferences. That's my next.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
People all over the world and kind of basically everybody
or is just I.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
Would probably start in Ontario.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
But people I'm saying, well, in Russia, Yeah you can
do it in Russia. Yeah don't Russia. Why don't you
start there?

Speaker 1 (59:20):
No?

Speaker 2 (59:20):
But no, But I was saying, like maybe if you
go online and you're doing this, or you can connect
people through over the world if you want to, but
on a smaller scale. If you want to do an
Eastern Ontario, that's like, I want to see how big.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
You're Oh no, oh my god, you know what Russia?

Speaker 2 (59:33):
The Middle East?

Speaker 1 (59:34):
No, no, I don't want to go there.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
I don't have to go there. Zoom we have a zoom.
Then we have a thing called zoom.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Now. I know, but I want to be on stage.
I want to connect right live in person. I want
to do like you feel like that's better.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
You need to be live in front of somebody to
really get your to get your point across or or
or can you.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Yah, because I want to talk with people. I want
to you know, like and situation.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
Is online through a zoom it doesn't really you don't
feel the same connection now you can't know put yourself
forward like that now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
And two and because me, I was like, oh my god, people,
I know that, like when you're going to do your
woman show, like you know, a stand up woman show,
because I always has something stupid to say about everything.
But it's just I could do a conference tomorrow. Give
me a microphone, give me a subject I'm going to
talk to you about it, you know, just an I

(01:00:22):
know it's crazy, it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
It's context.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
Yeah, but apparently I need to put it together, which
that's what it's hard. So I'm like, Okay, if I
start writing and I have my idea, I already did
a course one on one about conference, so I have
all the base. Now I need to put it together.
And what's next. It's because I've been looking online. I
need a mentor. I'm like, okay, now it's next, let's
do this, you know, like guide me and what do

(01:00:51):
I need? Okay, Okay. So if I want to say,
let's say I'm doing a conference that date, I want
to start advertised, what do I do? How do you
I do? I need a mentor? And I contact couple
of plays. They didn't go back to me. So I'm like,
maybe if I start writing a few things.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Show them what you're doing exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
So but that's my next. I want to talk to people.
I want to people to understand what we're going through
because it's more and more out there and kids, there's
more and more kids diagnosed in school, and so many
people don't understand. It's not just about sit down and

(01:01:33):
focusing and finishing your own work. It's not just about that,
it's about your well being inside. It's all started there.
How well you are inside so you can function, you know.
And sometimes it's borderline. Sometimes you think you going through
a depression. No, it's just because you have nothing excited, excited, exciting,

(01:01:58):
exciting plan today. No, no, no, it's my life is over.
It's boring. Okay, I go online and I'm start looking
for a job.
