Never underestimate the power of sharing your story from the heart
On April 21, 2013, I had the opportunity to speak as a guest panelist alongside some of Canada’s top lifestyle television producers, including Jennifer MacLean, Senior Producer of CTV’s Canada AM; and Sara Lynn Cauchon, Show Producer of CBC’s Steven and Chris and the Live Well Network in the U.S. Held at the fantastic Baka Gallery Lounge in Toronto’s west end on a lovely Sunday afternoon, the event was hosted by Moxii Pro, networking group for women, and Gwen Elliott, host of Start Something Big, which airs on Rogers TV.

The purpose of the event was to help entrepreneurs understand how to pitch to media and to provide insight for those who dream of being a television producer. I was honoured and humbled to be included with these remarkable women. We all were asked by our moderator, Gwen Elliott, to talk about our careers and how we got to where we are today — and the stories were interesting, intriguing and inspiring.
While I had not previously met any of these women, I was aware of Jennifer MacLean’s work at Canada AM, from my PR days. Jennifer talked about her role on Canada’s premiere television newsmagazine, how she sort of landed in her career, made light of having a short attention span, and shared some insight on how the week of the Boston bombings was the craziest week in news in her experience while there. I couldn’t help but have a deep respect for her and what she does because live television is tough — and Jennifer does it well.
The energetic and humorous, Sarah Lynn Cauchon, talked openly about the “highs and lows” of her career. Her message is that of perseverance and never giving up. We share something else in common: we both have a PR background and dreamed of doing something else, although our experience differs.

Moderator and host, the funny and easily likeable, Gwen Elliott, who has that “girl next door” quality, shared her personal story of having “analysis paralysis” and how, at a pivotal point early in her career, she found herself stuck in the energy of thinking and dreaming — and not doing. Today, she is dedicated to helping others get into action.
I talked about my journey of following my heart and some of the challenges I have faced along the road, and how and why I got Extraordinary Women TV off the ground. To my surprise, after the panel was over, four people came up to me and asked me for my advice on how can they follow their hearts. One young gentleman approached me and thanked me for my “gift” — now he is thinking about what is in his heart.
What I learned from this experience is the importance of being authentic. All the guest panelists spoke with honesty and sincerity, and people seemed to appreciate it (I certainly appreciated hearing my new friends share their stories). And I realized that whenever we share our trials and tribulations, what inspires us, those low points in our lives and how we overcame them, people seem to want to listen and discover something inspiring in it.
I also learned that when I am humble, I speak from the heart. Conversely, when I am in fear, I am more inclined to speak from a place of ego — a heady state — not that this is necessarily bad, but it is not coming from the heart. When we come from the heart, our stories are more relatable.
I am grateful for Sara Lynn, Jennifer and Gwen for sharing their wisdom and insights, because I also learned what it takes to be a good television producer: one must have the attention span of a nat, abundant energy and a great sense of humour for when it all goes awry — because it surely will.
As well, special thanks to the wonderful souls who came up to me after (you know who you are) and shared your hearts and vision, for you, too, inspired me to continue to follow my heart.

INTERVIEW: Jennifer Ettinger on the goddess and beauty within [VIDEO]
Have you ever met that kind of woman who radiates beauty from her inner core? You know, the one who attracts your attention with an easy, bright smile and has a centered nature and calming effect?
Jennifer Ettinger is one of those women.
I initially connected with Ettinger through Facebook some time ago and was intrigued by her work that focuses on helping women find their inner beauty. Months later, I had the opportunity to meet her in person as we both were speakers at the Toronto Women’s Expo in December. When I learned more about her personal journey, I knew I had to interview her.
Ettinger’s drive stems from her struggle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and having been bedridden and overweight. She found whatever it takes from a dark place deep inside to overcome her physical limitations and lead what is now a highly active, productive and meaningful life. Today, she is the founder of Fit Your Style, a lifestyle boutique which encourages women to find their inner beauty. She is also the author of Find Your Inner Goddesss, a contributor to Chloe Magazine, a regular TV contributor and has her own regional TV show “Fit Your Style” on Rogers TV. She is also a National Brand Ambassador for New Balance, a brand that resonates with her quest to help women get fit inside and out.
If you wish to find your “inner goddess” — that beauty from within — I invite you to watch my interview with Jennifer Ettinger on Extraordinary Women TV with Shannon Skinner (video below):
