Ending the Year in True Edith Fashion… Family Feud!

Updated: Mar 21

Yes, it happened. Yes, it was as chaotic as you’re imagining. Your favourite mortgage broker went FULL game-show mode on Family Feud, complete with buzzer-slaps, questionable answers, and enough laughter to last a decade. Was I born for television? Probably. Will I take Gerry Dee's job? Let’s not rule it out.


We Also Added a New Family Member

Meet Sunny, the world’s cutest furry tornado. He:

  • steals socks

  • ignores commands

  • thinks every Zoom call is about him

  • radiates pure sunshine (and mischief)


He’s equal parts chaos and cuddle — my spirit animal, basically.


A Big Dream Began: Adulting Costs Extra (The Podcast!)

Behind the scenes this year, I’ve been planning, dreaming, brainstorming, laughing, and occasionally spiralling (creatively!!) as I built out my new podcast: Adulting Costs Extra — launching January 2026.


It’s the podcast for women navigating:

  • money

  • homeownership

  • yoga-level stress

  • motherhood

  • dogs

  • healing

  • life transitions

  • ambition

  • being a little tired but still unstoppable


If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing your best while googling “why is adulthood so expensive?” — this one’s for you.


Teaching the Girl Guides About Money

One of the brightest and funniest moments of the year? Standing in front of a troop of Girl Guides, teaching them about:

  • how money actually works

  • saving

  • spending

  • why cookies may be delicious, but not a business plan


Their questions were bold. Their energy was big. Their honesty was unmatched. If that’s our future generation, we’re in good hands.


Hosting My First-Ever Client Appreciation Event: Flow & Grow

This year, something beautiful happened. I brought together my two worlds — yoga and mortgages — and hosted my first Client Appreciation Event, a gentle yoga class followed by a cozy reception.


Flow & Grow wasn’t just an event. It was:

✨ community

✨ connection

✨ laughter

✨ mindfulness meets money meets real life


Seeing clients come together, breathe together, move together, and build friendships… it felt like the beginning of something big. And trust me — more events are coming in 2026.


We Even Made Time for Magic… Florida & Harry Potter World

Because childhood magic matters. Because moms deserve joy. Because butterbeer is, in fact, delicious. Taking my daughter to Universal and watching her wander through Diagon Alley with wide eyes and a full heart? Truly unforgettable. It was one of those moments where you think: “Okay… this is why we do the hard things.”


💛 and also… The Hardest Part: Losing My Mom

This year also carried a deep, unexpected grief. I lost my mom early in the year — and it changed everything. Grief has a way of:

  • softening you

  • strengthening you

  • slowing you down

  • shaking you awake


This year, I learned how to keep going while carrying loss. How to honour her by growing. How to love harder, rest more, and listen inward. If you experienced loss this year too… I’m holding space for you.


2025 Was Big, Messy, Beautiful, Heartbreaking & Magical

The highs were high. The lows were low. The learning was constant. The gratitude was enormous. This year brought:

✨ new clients

✨ new friendships

✨ new opportunities

✨ new courage

✨ new purpose


And as always — YOU were a big part of it. Thank you for your trust. Thank you for the referrals. Thank you for being in this community. Thank you for letting me walk alongside your homeownership journey, your life transitions, and your goals.


Here’s to 2026 — With Purpose, Peace, Playfulness & Possibility

We’ll flow. We’ll grow. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry a little. We’ll build wealth. We’ll breathe deeper. We’ll find good energy and good homes. We’ll talk about all of it — on the podcast. 😉


From my home — and Sunny’s bed — to yours: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and thank you for being part of my world.💛


The Importance of Homeownership

Homeownership is not just about owning a property. It's about creating a space that reflects who you are. It’s about building a future. For many, it’s a dream come true. I’m here to help you navigate that journey. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to refinance, I want to be your trusted guide.
