Did we just become best friends?! We may have just met (in person) but we laughed until our bellies hurt chatting with Percy and Clary Ager, aka the Zucchini Wives!! The owners and operators of Ager Lane Flower Farm and Event Space and partners in marriage, business, and most importantly - dreaming!

From Vancouver Island to Cape Breton Island - they moved across the country to start an inclusive and intersectional flower farm and wedding venue after falling in love with Unama'ki during a visit for a friend's wedding. A few short weeks later - they were selling everything they owned and moving to the other side of the country following their dream; becoming flower farmers in Rural Nova Scotia, while centering the importance of belonging, accessibility, and inclusivity and the beauty in creating spaces for joy and connection.

Percy and Clary tell us all about their vision for Ager Lane, upcoming events on the farm, flower u-pick options (the Sunflowers are back!), and their non-profit Nectar. Community and intentionality are the foundation of Ager Lane - there are so many funny, tender, honest, and inspiring moments throughout this episode, the courage is contagious! "Get going then get good!"

Ashley Hareguy joins Sarah & Jess around The Morning Meeting table to discuss her journey since receiving a brain cancer diagnosis in March of 2020. The world was changing for most of us then, but for Ashley, in a different way.

After learning of her cystic glioblastoma, Ashley decided she would face every part of this journey with humour and positivity. Not once did she waver in the fact that she could, and would, fight this.

Through surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, while parenting a toddler (now 6 year old), Ashley was persistent and determined to be the example of a positive survivor story to tell for others, one she wished she found when starting her own journey.

Ashley started a Go Gray in May campaign that raises funds for the Tom MacNeil Cancer Patient Care Fund at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation. Donations can be made here https://www.cbrhfoundation.ca/ways-to-give/donate-now/

Ashley has us laughing throughout this episode, and we almost made it through without any tears at all, but we know this may be a heavy topic for some and if this is too much to listen to while managing your own health anxieties, we understand.

You may hear a familiar voice on this one, as Jess flips the script & puts Sarah in the 'guest' seat to answer all of your communication questions.

We discuss some elements of interpersonal relationships, share some public speaking tips, highlight the importance of active listening, decide that Jess may be a 'defensive listener', and share why Sarah strongly believes that 'direct is kind'.

One thing we know for sure, it really is amazing that we ever communicate effectively!!

We are turning the table on this episode of The Morning Meeting with Sarah & Jess, with co-host turned guest as Jessica takes a turn in the hot seat!

As the owner of Jessica Levangie Sleep Consulting, Jess gives us the scoop on sleep training. What is it? Do we have to do it? Do all babies need it? Do kids become 'too old' to sleep train?! What’s her take on it all? She answers questions submitted by listeners & shares her best not-so-secret secrets to help your little ones sleep well.

You’ll learn some tips, tricks, and hopefully be able to add a few new tools to your parenting tool-kit!
