Nicole is bringing in Sierra Bender for Saskatoon’s first Goddess to the Core workshop. Nicole said after attending the two day event in Edmonton, she knew Saskatoon women needed to experience this.

Off camera, Nicole shared stories from her workshop in Edmonton about how a mom brought her three daughters with her, and one of them opened up for the first time about being sexually abused as a child. Very brave.

Identity theft is rampant as we become more and more plugged in by our technology. Changing passwords regularly is a fine thing to do, but another thing to be cognizant of is how well-adapted you are to your information being out there.

We’re all guilty!

Avoiding the pitfalls of potholes

It doesn’t surprise me that we have a large pothole issue after the deep freeze we experienced this winter. And while dodging potholes can get annoying it was great to learn about all the ways we can prevent our vehicles from suffering from any damage that might be caused by potholes.

Practicing defensive driving is key. Slowing down and making sure the neighbouring lanes are empty in case you do need to swerve is ideal.

Today we also learned how important it is to make sure your tire pressure is correct. It can make all the difference in how much you need to spend on repairs if you do happen to hit a pothole.

Dealing with repairs can be quite expensive but hopefully with the tips we learned today we can help you save a few bucks.
