In this new episode, Dr. Lisa discusses how to connect with ourselves and others in meaningful, satisfying and pleasurable ways. She was inspired to record this episode after listening to Glennon Doyle’s podcast episode 239 of, “We can do hard things”, where Glennon interviews adrienne maree brown (writer, activist and facilitator) about finding satisfaction and pleasure in our everyday.
Dr. Lisa shares:
How what we have been taught about satisfaction from the media and from our families has shaped our definition of satisfaction and pleasure
How to experience pleasure in our daily lives even with all the challenges and hardships going on in the world
The importance of savouring the “little” moments and how to do that
Simple ways to connect and be present with your partner and kids, even if you only have a few minutes in the day
How to experience collective joy by attending a sporting event, concert, a play and more
Mama must-have:
Dr. Lisa loves having a “smoothie bowl” for a snack. Some days she just mixes goat yogurt and fruit with PB fit powder or PB2 powder; other days she adds hemp protein powder, organic soy milk, ground flaxseeds and fruit to make more of a smoothie bowl.

In this part 2 of 2 episodes, Dr. Toni talks with musician, songwriter, teacher and writer Kenna Burima about her experience with postpartum depression as an older mom and how the creative process helped her through it.
Through her love of music and performing, Kenna Burima has built a career as a celebrated musician, songwriter, teacher and writer in Calgary, Alberta. As a community-minded classically trained pianist, Kenna has made her name in the Calgary music scene as a jazz-influenced solo artist, in the indie-folk band Woodpigeon and in the garage rock bands Brenda Vaqueros, The Pygmies and Beaver Squadron. She has helped create the Carol of the Belles Christmas concert and programmed Calgary’s Downtown Piano series. She was also recognized as one of Avenue Magazine’s Top 40 Under 40 in 2015. Her third album, While She Sleeps, began as a collection of journal entries written while working through postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter. She collaborated with visual artist Bri Strong to create the While She Sleeps Illuminated Songbook and presented While She Sleeps at renowned Calgary theatre company One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo.
Kenna believes that no matter who you are; a seasoned veteran stuck on the bridge, a keen beginner needing help with chord choices, or someone who has never touched an instrument, you can express that which is inside of you through song. Private sessions with Kenna focus on creativity, personal expression and confidence building. Kenna’s 20+ years of writing, performing, and teaching songs of all kinds and genres has honed a gentle approach that will have you leaving each session with a song. But be forewarned, once the door is opened, you may not be able to shut it.
You can connect with Kenna on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and through her website kennaburima.com
