This special season finale brings together two women who refuse to shrink themselves to fit into the world — and instead choose to make the world bigger, kinder, and more human.

Soula Burrell, Director of Member Services & Engagement at the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association, joins me for a conversation that feels like home.

In her role at GOHBA, Soula is the bridge between builders, developers, and community partners — strengthening relationships, amplifying member voices, and helping move the housing conversation forward with honesty, empathy, and connection.

Soula and I talk about identity, culture, leadership, breaking down mean-girl energy, taking up space with heart, and learning to build a life you’re proud of at any age. We also talk about reclaiming heritage, the power of breaking bread, and why real sisterhood doesn’t ask you to be less — it holds space for you to be more.

It’s the perfect way to close out Season 2 before we return January 14, 2026.

As the holiday season approaches, Supply and Demand prepares to close for their annual winter break — a practice that might surprise people but perfectly reflects the heart of how Jennifer and Steve Wall run their restaurant: with intention, empathy, and sustainability at the core.

In this conversation, they share how they’re reshaping what hospitality means — not just for guests, but for the people who make it all possible behind the scenes.
We talk about:
🍝 Why closing five weeks a year (including Christmas, August & March Break) has become a non-negotiable part of staff wellbeing
💬 How they navigate an industry where service workers still face unacceptable rudeness — and the culture they’ve built to protect and uplift their team
💪 The quiet resilience it takes to run a family, a marriage, and a restaurant that’s still fully booked every weekend in a city of under a million people

It’s a story about leading with heart, standing up for people, and proving that sustainability isn’t just an environmental goal — it’s the key ingredient to lasting success.

What happens when two best friends decide to build a life together—right at the start of a pandemic, amidst personal heartbreak, and with a stage-four cancer diagnosis in the background?

In this intimate and honest episode, Jenny is joined by her husband Dan, as they share the story of how their friendship became love, how they navigated uncertainty together, and why they chose couples counselling from the very beginning of their relationship.

Together, they talk about:

💬 The difference between learning how to love—and learning how to navigate conflict

🧠 Why counselling doesn’t mean something’s wrong, but that you’re doing something right

❤️‍🩹 Breaking the stigma around relationship support and proactive care

😂 And some light-hearted moments—including what annoys Dan the most (yes, we went there)

This isn’t just a love story. It’s a story about choosing one another—intentionally, imperfectly, and with commitment to growing side by side.
