In this episode of Spirit Speaks, host Charlotte Lomenda sits down with Stephanie Eli for a powerful conversation about anxiety, intuition, and what the soul is trying to communicate. Together, they explore how anxiety can show up when our mind, body, and spirit aren’t in sync — and how something as simple as breathwork can bring us back to the present moment.

Charlotte shares meaningful stories about working with children who are sensitive to energy and spirituality, and why creating a safe space for kids to express what they’re experiencing matters so much. Stephanie opens up about her own life as a mom, her child’s struggles at school, and her journey of learning to trust her intuition instead of masking it. The conversation touches on sensitivity, labels, creativity, healing, and stepping into your power — especially when you’ve spent years feeling “different.”

Women in leadership are still facing a different set of rules — especially online. In this episode of Hear Me Out with Belinda, host Belinda Waites (Hearing Aid Practitioner at Hear Right Canada – Okotoks) sits down with Mayor Tanya Thorn of Okotoks for a real and vulnerable conversation about leadership, cyberbullying, and community.
Tanya shares how social media has shifted over her 12 years in public service, the toll that online attacks take on leaders and their families, and why “attacking the policy, not the person” matters more than ever. Belinda and Tanya dive into double standards for women in leadership, emotional intelligence, mental health, and how parents’ behavior online impacts their kids.
They also explore how real-life connection — volunteering, joining local groups, having coffee with a neighbour — can build resilience in our community and help bring kindness back into everyday dialogue.
If you care about Okotoks, community, or kinder conversations, this episode is for you. 💙

What changes when you finally treat hearing loss? For Pamela McLean, the difference was “night and day.” In this episode of Hear Me Out with Belinda, host Belinda Waites from Hear Right Canada – Okotoks sits down with Pamela to share a real, relatable journey—from turning the TV way up and missing key moments in Rotary meetings, to feeling more confident, connected, and engaged once she started wearing hearing aids.

Belinda also breaks down why finding the right fit can take time—think “Goldilocks” testing different models until one feels just right.

In this special episode of Hear Me Out with Belinda, Belinda invites her “most difficult client” into the studio — her husband, Sean.

Together, they have a real, honest conversation about Sean’s journey with tinnitus, sound sensitivity, and high-frequency hearing loss. Sean shares how a painful salivary gland issue and surgery led to ongoing ringing in his ears, the mental fatigue of constantly “filling in the blanks” at work, and what it’s really like to live with invisible hearing challenges day to day.

Belinda walks through the treatment options, the long road of trying different hearing aids, and how they finally landed on a custom in-the-ear solution that supports both his tinnitus and hearing needs — while fitting his lifestyle (yes, even pickleball). They also talk about stigma, why some people delay getting help, and how the right hearing care professional can make all the difference.

If you or someone you love is struggling with tinnitus, sound sensitivity, or hearing loss, this conversation will give you insight, language, and a little bit of hope.

In this episode of Spirit Speak, Charlotte Lomeda sits down with Ernie Bird, reflexologist and owner of Emerging Balance Reflexology, for a powerful conversation about men’s mental health, chronic stress, and the healing power of touch.

Ernie explains how reflexology works through the reflex points in the feet and hands to support the whole body — from circulation and sleep to the nervous system and stress response. He shares stories from his practice, including clients who describe their sessions as “a massage from the inside out” and even “an out-of-body experience.”

Charlott adds her intuitive perspective, exploring past lives, masculine and feminine energy, and what it means for men to step into self-care and self-love without shame. Together, they talk about burnout, the stress–sleep–pain cycle, and why men of all ages — from first responders and construction workers to athletes and dads — deserve real rest and support.
