"Welcome to Own Your Tomorrow" E.X.I.T.

Let's be honest: Advance Care Planning, Wills and Testaments, and even sharing your journey and story aren't exactly the sexiest items on your adulting to-do list. However, they should be one of the first things we do as adults. We have an app to help you be better prepared, empower, and bring self-awareness. E.X.I.T. (Education, Xenial, Integrity, Today). Welcome to Own Your Tomorrow, our blog section; let's live wisely.

Life of a 3 1/2" x 2" Card

From the moment we take our first breath, life begins to arrive — printed on paper and sealed in envelopes. A card with soft colours and tiny footprints welcomes us into the world: "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" Our name, handwritten by someone who loves us but doesn't yet know us. Often attached to this bouquet of beautiful flowers, teddy bears or even today, a gorgeous arrangement of fresh fruit.

When It Gets Too Munsch

When It Gets Too Munsch

Munsch, whose stories have enchanted generations, announced in 2021 that he was stepping away from writing after being diagnosed with both Parkinson's disease and dementia. At the time, he spoke openly about how his imagination had always been his greatest gift and feared losing it more than anything else. In light of the recent renewed media attention, Munsch's daughter posted a heartfelt message on her father's Facebook page, reassuring fans that her father is still doing well and clarifying that his decision to pursue MAID was made several years ago.

The 4 Phases of Change and How They Show Up in Grief

The 4 Phases of Change and How They Show Up in Grief

Grief is not just about loss - it’s about the changes that loss brings. When we experience grief, we’re not just mourning what we’ve lost; we’re also grieving what will never be the same. Our identity, routines, relationships, and sense of safety often shift overnight. And with change comes resistance, confusion, and eventually… transformation. At Nichole Folino Coaching, I use a holistic approach to help women move through grief in a way that honors the mind, body, and soul. One of the frameworks I gently introduce in my sessions is the four phases of change - denial, resistance, exploration, and integration. These aren’t linear steps, and they don’t follow a predictable timeline. But they do show up in almost every grief journey, whether we recognize them or not. Let’s walk through each one and explore how grief and healing unfold within them.

S.O.S. Are You Ready? 🚨 When life changes in an instant — an accident, an illness, a crisis — will you or your loved ones know what to do? Who to call? Where are the essential documents stored? Most of us assume we have time. But when that moment comes, it’s the planning before the emergency that makes all the difference. In this blog, we explore what it really means to be ready — not just in theory, but in action. Whether you're 18 or 88, having a plan in place is the greatest gift you can give yourself and those you care about. Because in moments of chaos, clarity matters.
