  • Intuition as the Ingredient to Professional Success with Jenn Cohen
    Mar 19 2026

    What if the secret ingredient to your professional success isn't a harder skill, but a softer one?

    • How physical pain can be a signal of being out of alignment at work

    • How a leader's nervous system directly impacts the entire team

    And so much more!

  • The power of choosing yourself
    Mar 5 2026

    What if the key to deep healing wasn't pushing harder, but learning how to pivot? In this week’s conversation, Aimee welcomes Megan Edge, a Master Healer, educator, and author, to explore the profound freedom that comes from choosing yourself, even after you've said yes to everyone else.


    Megan shares her wisdom on how the words we use shape our reality, why true healing requires self-responsibility, and the liberating practice of listening to your body's "no." If you're ready to stop performing and start living from your heart, this episode is your invitation.


    She takes us through:

    • How the language you use keeps you stuck in old stories

    • Why saying "no" is an act of profound self-care and bravery

    • The difference between being an introvert and hiding from connection

    • How to follow the chain of clues from overwhelm back to the core wound

      And so much more!


    Megan Edge is a Master Healer, educator, and author based in Victoria, Canada. Growing up in a family of foragers, she developed a deep connection with nature and learned the art of harvesting from the wild. Born in Vancouver, BC, she has lived across Canada and holds degrees from Dalhousie University in Women's Studies and Social Work, along with an undergraduate degree in geology.


    With an entrepreneurial spirit, Megan has held various managerial roles but ultimately found her passion in self-employment. She creates certification courses and workshops for health professionals, blending her extensive training with alternative healing practices. Megan is the author of "The Heart's Journey: Healing Hearts Oracle Cards and Guidebook" and the manual for her Healer’s certification program, "Falling into Being Human: Intuitive Healing."


    As an international radio host and public speaker, she focuses on empowering individuals to access their healing abilities. Megan lives with her family and enjoys foraging for clams, oysters, and wild mushrooms in her spare time. Her mission is to facilitate lasting healing and wellness for all.
