The Importance of Palliative Care: "Palliative care is care that is administered early in the disease trajectory. It's care that could be administered alongside active treatments to control the disease. Palliative care should be delivered by not just palliative care specialist teams, but could be delivered by your family doctor, you're a nurse practitioner, you're a nephrologist oncologist cardiologist, your personal support worker, your PT, OT, your Pilates instructor.

Everyone has a role to play..."
— Jeff Moat

In our latest episode of Lessons From The Core, Lisa Khera talks to Jeff Moat about the transformative power of loss, social entrepreneurship, and palliative care.

Jeff Moat shares his journey from working in the private financial sector to a career in palliative care. After experiencing the profound loss of a parent, Jeff realized that he could use his skills to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and communities. Jeff has contributed to initiatives that enhanced access to palliative care for more Canadians, created better experiences for healthcare professionals and patients, and facilitated quality improvement.

Jeff's passion for palliative care led him to work with Pallium Canada, a research-driven social enterprise based in Ottawa. Pallium Canada enhances the quality and accessibility of palliative care by building the capacity of healthcare professionals and communities.

They offer a courseware called Leap (Learning Essential Approaches to Palliative Care), aimed at ensuring healthcare professionals acquire necessary skills and knowledge and put them into action, reshaping the entire continuum of care. Pallium Canada also provides resources for the general public who may not fully understand palliative care.

The episode highlights that palliative care is not just care delivered at the end of life, and everyone, including family doctors, nurses, personal support workers, PTs, OTs, Pilates instructors, and others, can have a role in delivering palliative care and supporting patients and their families.

Giving good palliative care earlier and more effectively is crucial and requires a shift in mindset about what palliative care means.

The episode further delves into the stigma surrounding palliative care and how normalizing discussions around living with life-limiting illnesses, dying, death, and grieving is crucial to overcoming obstacles to providing comprehensive care.

The episode also discusses the importance of self-care in caregiving and healthcare professions, and how Pilates and exercise can alleviate stress and help achieve stability.

We hope you find Jeff Moat's story inspiring and informative. To listen to the full episode, click the link to our show and subscribe to our podcast to receive notifications on future episodes.

In this episode, we get to hear about Praveeni's career as a professor and how she found her path in the influencer and fashion community.

We also touch on interesting topics such as the different meanings of color in various cultures and the positive impact of engaging with your followers.

Praveeni and Lisa talked how they met at a networking event in Ottawa, which leads them to talk about the importance of networking in business.

Networking events play a crucial role in building collaborations and connections. It helps individuals to push outside their comfort zone to learn new things, meet new people, and grow in their careers.

With the rise of social media, LinkedIn and Instagram have become two significant platforms where people connect and network.

Praveeni’s fashion inspiration videos and reels inspire many people to step up their closets.

It's a story that will inspire those who are just starting in the blogging & fashion industry.

We learned about her favourite clothing line, Sophie Grace, a Canadian women's workwear brand, owned by Emma May, with two showrooms in Calgary and Vancouver and sold online in Canada and the US.

Praveeni shared her experience with the brand and highlighted comfortable, true-to-size clothing in various colors.

And in the spirit of that positivity, we wanted to share with you a special offer. One of our guests, a professor, has a code for $10 off purchases from the workwear. Check the show notes for the direct link.

We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

The Power of Writing and Retreats for Self-Discovery and Personal Growth

In this episode, we were joined by Jess Bosch, an author and founder of Passion Point Press and Wilder Way Retreats, who is passionate about helping people find their voice and tap into their intuition through writing.

Jess emphasized the importance of writing as a means of self-expression, and as a healing tool to help women become "healed, heard, and whole."

During the episode, she also shared insights on how retreats can help people connect with nature, further their personal development, and experience sensual, versatile experiences.

Jess has always used writing as a way to express her feelings freely and without fear of judgment. Writing has been a constant in her life, serving as a source of security, and she has even created a business out of her passion to support others in finding their voice through writing.

Throughout the episode, Jess gave examples of how writing has transformed her life and how it has encouraged her to trust her gut and create a supportive circle. She also emphasized the importance of creative goals and dreams, and how attending a retreat can help provide a much-needed change of environment to focus on personal growth.

These retreats are designed to cater to women of all backgrounds, and Jess emphasized the importance of taking care of one's body, heart, and mind.

Retreats provide a perfect opportunity to learn, bond, and grow. Jess described an upcoming retreat, which will include cold plunging in a creek, yoga, meditation, journaling, and outdoor skills.

Attendees will also be able to play with giant Belgium horses, which allow for a unique healing experience. The retreat focuses on stripping away surface-level concerns and focusing on personal growth, potential, and capability.
