Show notes

Noel Asmar is a Canadian designer with an innate curiosity for the way people live.

In 2002, Noel designed what came to be known as the first “designer spa uniform”. Her various designs have garnered international acclaim, features in Harpers Bazaar and Vogue, while her continuous pursuit to innovate and create has led her to be recognized as one of Canada’s Top 20 Female Entrepreneurs. With a decade in luxury hospitality, Noel identified opportunities to heighten team morale through innovative and purpose-driven designs, creating a fresh, modern & elevated approach to uniforms.

The natural evolution was to create a collection of a premium spa, wellness & hotel uniforms to elevate the look and feel for this growing industry. 20 years later, Noel and her team continue to set new industry trends and lead in the next generation of uniform concepts.

Martino's mother recalls him as a young child stating," He was born with a pair of golden shears in his hand. When he was only five years of age, a group of neighborhood children were all watching cartoons together, but instead he was watching one of the girls braid her sister's hair." Since that Saturday morning in Key Largo, Florida, it has been his passion to make the world beautiful one head at a time. Martino was adopted by a loving family at the age of 6 months. At the earliest age possible, his mother explained to him the few details of his adoption. Martino learned that both of his biological parents were from Cairo, Egypt. In 2006, Martino had a dream that led him to find his birth family and it's Egyptian roots. A-YAD, Martino's middle name meaning celebration. Martino believes that a combination of charity and education makes this all happen. It originally started just trying to help out a family with a terminally ill child looking to raise $5,000. In just one day, they surpassed their goal raising over $20,000 for that family in need. When asked what do you attribute this success to, Martino replied, "When I started out, I decided it was my job to not only make people beautiful above the scalp, but below as well. As I traveled this amazing journey, I started out with only a three-station salon. Dozens of cut-a-thons later, and hundreds of thousands of dollars donated to local families in need, I now have a salon with over 50 stations. It is with confidence we can say that we are the best! God has blessed us and I am thankful!" Cartier founded the charity Wigs and Wishes, granting wishes to those with cancer and life threatening diseases.

Dr. Kate Balestrieri Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Psychologist (clinical and Forensic), Sex Therapist, Sex Addiction Therapist and trained couples therapist. She is a contributor to POOSH, Psychology Today and House of Wise. She is CEO of The Modern Intimacy practice. Modern Intimacy was born out of Dr. Kate Balestrieri’s recognition that all humans are social and relational beings. As such, mental health is directly tied to the quality of our relationships and sex life. Driven by her desire to smash stigmas about mental health and sexuality, Dr. Kate Balestrieri built a platform that not only connects clinicians trained in sex therapy with people seeking therapy for sexual issues, but also provides a safe, inclusive space for people to get access to education about sensitive topics that people live with every day, related to trauma, relationships, sexual health, any type of sexual dysfunction, sexual activity, and sexual problems.

In her private practice, Dr. Balestrieri works with adults, individuals and couples, primarily around treating trauma, substance abuse and addiction, intimacy disorders (sex/love addiction and sexual dysfunction), eating disorders and body image issues, bipolar disorder, Posttraumatic Stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Throughout her work, Dr. Balestrieri focuses on helping people build resilience and recovery from what ails them to move from a position of pain or discomfort to one of thriving, holistically in their lives. In that effort, Dr. Balestrieri works with individuals astutely to help mitigate anger management concerns, establish healthy boundaries, build effective communication strategies, and improve relationship patterns.

Dr. Balestrieri is currently writing several books, including one titled F*ck You, F*ck Me: Rage, Sex and Money in Relationships and Modern Society. This book investigates the relationships people maintain with anger, money and sexuality as a primary defense against relational pain, and how their attempts to stay safe in relationships end up ultimately thwarting their bids for intimacy.

Seth Eliot Santoro Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

Healer, Reframer, Intuitive Advisor, Intuitive Business Coach, Author, Medium, Animal Communicator, Bereavement Facilitator, Seth’s vision is to inspire the world, to smile and therefore heal from the inside. By the time he was thirty-two years old, Seth has already cheated death three times, narrowly escaped two kidnappings, and lost five good friends within a very brief period of time. Being ill-prepared for these events, he searched everywhere to find a resource that would help him, to no avail. So, instead, he developed the S.M.I.L.E. method for healing and wrote the first book in a series, “Smile From The Inside!” a book on healing and overcoming trauma in this crazy modern world. “From Grief to GRACE" is his newest book and developed the G.R.A.C.E. method for healing focused on healing your past traumas/challenges once and for all. He thought if these concepts could work for him, they might just work for someone else. Seth also wrote a children’s tale during the pandemic Finn and the Ferocious Flu. Heather and Seth discuss everything from life to death, joys and sorrows, and ultimately Happiness.
