So, this is sort of fun and fabulous. Chad and I are part of an upcoming series called The Balanced Parent Show, a free online event that features more than 20 guests with insights on parenting. No -- we are by no means "experts" (really, who is?! We all just fly by the seat of our pants, right?) but we manage -- through trial and error and error and error -- to juggle the full lives of two kids under the age of six, with our own kooky schedules. Sometimes it's heaven, other times it's a sh*tstorm. You can sign up (for free!) to get access to this awesome series -- which launches June 21st -- here: http://thebalancedparentshow.com/#06

"You can't fall off track unless you were on track to begin with." -- Ultra-endurance athlete who's done kooky things like race across the Sahara Desert, #GuestTitan Stacey Shand. If falling madly in love with this woman is wrong, then I don't want to be right. Catch our #TeaWithATitan chat riiiiiiight here: https://maryjodionne.com//stacey-shand-ultra-endurance-at/

Who wants to join me at this important event on Wednesday, May 9th? Dress For Success is doing INCREDIBLE things for those brave women reinventing themselves and heading into the workforce. #Impact360 Dress for Success Vancouver

Sooooo, this is me -- asking for a favour. Like, a really huge one. On June 7th, at the Women of Distinction Gala in Vancouver, the YWCA will recognize one nominee with the "Connecting the Community Award". The recipient who can get the most votes from her network (YOU!) will be provided the opportunity to channel $10,000 to an initiative that means a shwackload to her. In my case, it is helping to reduce childhood poverty. In 2013, the poorest of BC single-parent families li...ved $10,000 BELOW the poverty line. And 49% of -- one in every two -- single-parent households live in poverty. Organizations like Crabtree Corner in Vancouver's downtown eastside -- where our most in-need residents live -- supply housing and childcare to women (and their children) trying to get back on their feet. NOTHING would make me more happy than to be able to hand them $10,000 via Scotiabank's donation. All I need you to do is vote for me on the link provided once a day between today and May 11th. (I have been assured, it takes less than 5-seconds to do. No need to "register" or "create a password" or sign up for anything. Just click on this link, scroll, find my name, confirm you're not a robot -- unless, of course, you are a robot, in which case, you're not eligible to vote -- and you have gotten us one step closer to helping the wee kids of Crabtree Corner. Do it! It only takes 5-seconds. Really, what else can you do today that takes 5 seconds?! Nothing -- that's what. THANK YOU! Please share wildly. #YWCAWODA YWCA Women of Distinction Awards xo https://ywcavan.org//women-dist/connecting-community-award

YWCA Women of Distinction Awards Nominees in the category of Arts, Culture, and Design. Not going to lie, am kinda pummmmmmmmped to celebrate with some of my favourite people on June 7th: https://ywcavan.org/2018-women-distinction-nominees-arts

Am preparing for a panel on how we create equality in the workplace -- and I cannot stop watching this video. https://www.independent.co.uk//international-womens-day-no

It is a real thrill to share this epic journey with these 5 other nominees of this year's YWCA Woman of Distinction Award in Arts, Culture & Design. This city -- and these women -- rock/s! https://ywcavan.org/2018-women-distinction-nominees-arts #YWCAWODA

"Take the past for what it is -- the past. Then, focus on moving forward." That's what #GuestTitan Olympic figure skating silver medalist Kevin Reynolds told me he does when he falls and has to get back up. Only his "falls" are the figurative AND the literal kind, and they can happen in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

Amazing chat with #GuestTitan Sherry Strong -- she's a chef, a nutritionist, and a food philosopher. It's not about going on another "diet", it's about getting back in touch with nature. And the best part? She can help you wean off of sugar in her 7-Day Challenge. (But, you have to be okay giving up the biggest culprit of all. Any guesses what that might be?) https://maryjodionne.com//sherry-strong-chef-nutritionist/ #TeaWithATitan

After a wee Holiday hiatus, Tea with a Titan is BACK in 2018. I will be having tea with THIS amazing Titan, Shelly Strong, in a couple hours. Check out what she has to say about the foods we Western-types are eating in her important TED Talk. (It's the first time on the planet that there are more obese people than starving people.)Our episode will post tomorrow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=50&v=w8u3q8hZtfo

Happy Holidays, Titans! This season, I hope we can all learn to cut ourselves some slack, and let ourselves off the hook, from time to time. https://maryjodionne.com//mary-jo-dionne-letting-ourselve/
