Helping people rediscover joy

Everything I create ---from corporate shows to theatre to bubbles--- comes from the same place. 

A moment in my life when I realized I was functioning, not living. 

I didn't set out to build "services". I set out to rebuild connection ---with myself first, and then with others. 

Whether I'm on a corporate stage, a fringe theatre, or a wedding lawn, the goal is the same: to create a shared moment where people can exhale, feel seen, and remember who they were before they got tired. 

This isn't about fixing people. 
It's about reminding them they're already human.

• Perspective Is EverythingOctober 26, 2026

  I’ve been thinking about how two people can experience exactly the same situation and walk away with completely different feelings about it. One sees a problem, while the other sees an opportunity. One sees an ending, while the other sees a beginning. One feels defeated by an unexpected turn of events, while the other accepts it as simply another part of life’s journey.

  Nothing about the situation itself may have changed. What changed was the perspective.

  I find that fascinating because we often behave as though our interpretation of an event is the event itself. Someone doesn’t return our message, and we assume we’ve been rejected. A plan falls apart, and we decide the day is ruined. Something doesn’t work out the way we expected, and we immediately label it a failure. We take what happened, add our own assumptions and expectations, and create a story around it. Before long, we’re reacting not only to reality, but also to the meaning we’ve attached to it.

  And sometimes, that meaning causes us more pain than the event itself.

• If You Don’t Surrender to Life, It Will Squeeze You HarderOctober 23, 2026

  I was listening to CBC Radio’s Q with Tom Power when I heard a line from Ahmed Moneka that made me stop and reflect: “If you don’t surrender to life, it will squeeze you harder.” I don’t know whether he intended those words to mean what they meant to me, but something about them immediately connected with my own journey. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how much of my life I had spent doing exactly the opposite of surrendering.

  For most of my adult life, I believed that if something wasn’t working, the answer was to work harder. If I faced a challenge, I pushed through it. If I encountered an obstacle, I found a way around it. If I was exhausted, I told myself to keep going. I had built a career in IT around solving problems, and that mindset became more than a professional skill. It became the way I approached life itself. There was always another problem to solve, another responsibility to fulfill, another thing that needed my attention. I became very good at pushing through, but I wasn’t nearly as good at recognizing when pushing through was no longer helping me.

  Eventually, life squeezed harder.

• Everything Comes to an End. Does It Have to Be Sad?October 19, 2026

  There is a particular feeling I get when I finish a really good book. Or watch the final episode of a television series I’ve followed for years. Even when a movie ends beautifully, I sometimes find myself wishing there were another scene, another chapter, another little glimpse into the lives of the characters I’ve grown attached to. I want to know what happens next. I want to spend a little more time in that world. And when the credits roll, there is a small sense of loss, as though I’ve said goodbye to someone I know.

  It’s strange, isn’t it? We begin these experiences knowing they will end, yet somehow we are never quite ready when they do.

• The Courage to Be KindOctober 16, 2026

  I watched White Bird recently, and I expected to be moved by the story. What I didn’t expect was how much one idea would stay with me afterward: kindness can require courage.

  The story takes us back to Nazi-occupied France, where Sara, a young Jewish girl, is forced into hiding after her family is taken away. A classmate, Julien, chooses to protect her, even though doing so puts his own life and his family’s lives at tremendous risk. What struck me wasn’t simply that he was kind. It was that he had to make a choice. He could have looked away. He could have told himself that it wasn’t his problem. Instead, he chose to stand beside someone who was being persecuted.

  That made me think about how we often talk about kindness as though it is always easy. We imagine kindness as helping someone carry something, buying a coffee for a stranger, checking on a friend, or simply saying something nice. Those things matter, but there are moments when kindness asks something much more difficult from us. It asks us to stand beside someone when doing so is uncomfortable, unpopular, or even frightening.

• This Time, I Wish You Were HereOctober 14, 2026

  I’m on another journey. Another road, another destination, another opportunity to see something new. I’ve done this before. I’ve travelled alone, explored unfamiliar places, enjoyed the freedom of making my own decisions, and discovered that I can be perfectly happy in my own company. For a long time, I thought that was enough. And in many ways, it was.

  But this time feels different.

  As I drive along, watching the scenery change and the autumn colours stretch across the landscape, I find myself thinking about how much nicer it would be to have someone beside me. Not because I’m lonely or incapable of enjoying the experience on my own, but because there are moments that seem to ask to be shared. A beautiful view that makes you turn to the passenger seat. A funny sign along the highway that would make you laugh. A little restaurant discovered by accident, where the food might be terrible but the memory would be wonderful because we found it together.

  And then I remember that you’re not here.

• Every Road Traveled Begins With Saying YesOctober 12, 2026
  Every road we travel begins with a decision. Sometimes it is a carefully planned decision. We study the map, research the destination, calculate the cost, check the weather, and make sure everything makes sense before we take the first step. But sometimes, it begins with something much simpler. Yes. I’ve been thinking…
