The nomination message reAd as follows: «  Nadine's unconventional lifestyle and experience have made it so she can really understand people and their story in a very profound and meaningful way. She sees potential in everyone and is eager to help them achieve it. He belief is that people can find a solution for their life problems with a skill that can take a lifetime of experience to acquire: raw, honest, unfiltered self-awareness and acceptance. Building on that skill has a positive, liberating domino effect, just like it has had in her life. She helps equip people with the tools to guide you there. And she has build all this through hard work, endurance and self examination. » 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I have no words.

I LOVE start-ups! And I LOVE helping entrepreneurs and business owners get noticed on social media. There is no magical formula, honestly, it’s all about telling your story. There is a reason that you chose THIS path over all the other millions of things you could have pursued. People want to know your WHY. Why this career? Why this business? What made you follow through with it? How did you even get here? I want to know your story and I want to help you share it with the world:...especially the people who will eventually become your loyal fans and buyers. I use photography, video and writing to express why I do what I do, but now I want to help others develop those tools so that storytelling becomes a natural part of their marketing pitch. Message me if you’re curious to know more about how I can help :) 🎥📸📚 Tag your favorite storytellers! 📘📘📘📘📘📘📘📘📘📘📘 #story #stories #socialmediamarketing #socialmedia #contentcreator #smallbusiness #sme #startup #startupbusiness (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJ5uB4lhRq/?igshid=17hrrf8lqhkwi

Photography. Social Media. Coaching. Photography. Social Media. Content Creation. Break up coaching. “ Focus Nadine....” “The more you niche down..the better you will do...” “What is your main gig?” “ Do you even know what you’re doing?” Can we just, for one minute, appreciate the process? The journey? The forks in the roads? The choices? The decisions? The failures? The learning ? The growing? I’m ok with it. I’m at peace with this exploration. As quickly as I settle in to a cozy new passion, BOOM, the world presents more possibilities. Photography never went away, but it became useful in this new digital world of images and on-line marketing. Photography became a gateway into video, content creation. My passion for helping people became so much easier to express through social media. Eventually it all just melts together into one big pot of gold. I can give through my photography, my content and my coaching. My love of Business and entrepreneurship organically benefits from all of the above. So then I’m like...” I can help start-ups and businesses and entrepreneurs!” Next thing you know my business friends are hiring me to help them out with social media and marketing. And then BAM! I’m using my photography, my coaching, my social media AND my love of business. What’s the point of all of this? It’s ok if your path isn’t CRYSTAL clear. Experience will give you that clarity. Failures and bad choices and surprise encounters will guide you into YOUR perfect direction. Your values become more defined. Your strengths become more obvious. Your passions become more specific. Enjoy the chaos, the process. I’m enjoying the stress of growth and discovery. #socialmediamarketing #authenticity #niche #contentcreator #coach #startups #entrepreneur #ottawabusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/BzFDo7klr8_/?igshid=5634a4p9vvnv

My mom gave me this dresser and I’ve been itching to transform it ever since. I ended up doing a white and grey washed style on top. I put a nice glossy topcoat and now my first coat around the edges. Excited to do the drawers next ! #ottawarefurbisher #ottawaupcycler #refurbishedfurniture #recycle #upcycle #upcycledfurniture (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNU8Jslb9c/?igshid=aus2a64ve70h

I’m SUPER excited to announce that I will be hosting and producing a web-series for a new enchanted cafe about to open up in Ottawa! @thewitches_thicket Is going to be SUCH an amazing and unique new hangout in the Hintonburg area. The reality, documentary style series will have a bit of a vlogger/unscripted feel to it. One of my favorite things is to be part of a new and budding local business, so having the honor to capture all of this is an incredible honor for me. Plus....guys.....the FOOD! Omg the FOOD! This Vegan menu will blow your mind! It’s like NEXT LEVEL comfort food !!🥘 Pastries are my weakness. Yesterday Desireah made homemade yummy apple, pear and pumpkin pies made out of blueberry crust. This kind of deliciousness only scratches the surface of what’s to come so stay tuned all you local food lovers ! 🍏🍏🍏🍏tag your vegan friends who are desperate for something new in Ottawa to satisfy their tastebuds. 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎 #ottawa #ottawatourism #ottawalife #ottawafood #ottawafoodies #ottawarestaurants #ottawavegan #ottawalocal #ottawaliving #ottawalove #hintonburg #vlogger #contentcreator #video #selfie #yow #yowottawa (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWXetyFaLw/?igshid=17d8qh7x9euvg

Basically, people who proclaim to “ hate drama” or “ don’t have time for drama” are essentially announcing to the world that when shit hits the fan....they won’t be around to support you through it. The dating world is such a harsh reality because so many people are shopping for the smiling selfie personalities who only have fun and spend money and spread positivity like jam across social media. “That’s what I want! Someone who knows what they want, who has success, has found happiness and who adds pleasure and joy to my life...” Those are unfortunately the thought patterns that are surfacing again and again in our digital age. It’s fake and unrealistic, just like all the highlight reels of everyone’s life that you see splattered across the internet. I’m not saying that everyone is miserable, but I AM saying that everyone faces their own struggles. I always thought I would be a very tender hearted, soft, understanding relationship coach until I realized that there was this whole, “Joan of Arc hates fake bullshit and is going to war for the sake of truth...” Side to me. I’ve actually had a client once say, “ sometimes you sound like a cold-hearted bitch.” That’s actually a huge compliment! In reality, I was refusing to spoon feed them the fluffy ego-stroking bullshit that they so desperately hoped to hear from me. Here is the thing, I choose who I work with. I can only work with courageous people who are brave enough to face themselves in the mirror . One of the reasons so many people remain drowning in grief after relationship loss for so long is because they perpetuate denial. They deny that they might have been wrong. They deny that they might have messed up. They deny that they are a huge cause of the breakdown. Family and friends are there to comfort them with words that soothe their ego. What is drama anyway? I can handle your drama. Drama doesn’t scare me, or anyone else who is ready to commit for love. What about you? Are you actually aware of what you can handle in a relationship when things get tough? If emotional moments or discussions push you away, you might be suffering from the fear of intimacy. #intimacyissues (at Aylmer, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq5cyjzFjVm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jglc8r7c0pni

When is the last time you have yourself permission to even ask yourself that question? I ask the questions that will likely require courage to answer. I dig. Who are You? How are you feeling? Why? They appear simple but the deepest truths to those questions can possibly provoke an amazing breakthrough for your life. Ask yourself questions EVERY DAY.

Miss this awesome dude @voiceyourvibe. I had the honor of speaking alongside him in Ottawa a few weeks ago. The power of connections and relationships is often underrated. (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqAjZYZDInp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kgaoqc1bky9n

I have a confession : I am in love with my three babies ( who are no longer babies ) but I suck at parenting. Before you jump in to tell me not to put myself down or to tell me you think I’m a great mom, hear me out: All parents suck at parenting. There. I said it. None of us are perfect, we all mess up. We all have our quirks, our weaknesses. Even the parents who seem PERFECT....they mess up too! But that’s ok, because it’s our job to model to our children that making mistakes is human and part of life. Your kids will always remember the good things you did for them. If you want to be a better parent, the best people to ask how you can be better is your own kids. They will literally tell you exactly what they want and need. ( I’m not talking about the new I Phone ) Embrace your failures and celebrate your wins. That’s exactly what your children need to witness in order to grow as self-loving and accepting adults. Cheers to parenting. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkB5mgjBA5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fv0tjlvmzesf

People have been asking me for years to show up at a scheduled time on social media so that they could know when to expect me.... so I listened and I caved despite my resistance to routine :) I will be launching a live Q & A across my YouTube, Facebook and Instagram channels every week ! Topics will revolve around relationships, stay tuned for launch date and time:) Thank you to everyone who has followed me and supported me , you make me smile :) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpipxfdjvy6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=91d31e344v7v

Is it rude to ask people if their eyelashes are fake ? https://www.instagram.com/p/BpRdF8UFzq8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bt7vbi1g90gn

Going to take selfies of everyone I meet that has a similar tattoo lol 😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpKsAPEhvgQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b43zbfhtg8s8

Count down to Wednesday night when I can finally celebrate 🎉 the end of the recruiting season for me. Hard to believe I made it. I can finally settle in back home with my children ❤️ and continue with my personal projects and business. Cheers.
