WHAT IS YOUR B.S.?

YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM, AND HOW TO CHANGE IT!

Ithewas born in small town of

Fort St. John, in northern BC. I grew up with a loving and supportive family. Your everyday, run of the mill, typical family. My dad was a welder in the oilfield, my mom stayed at home until we were in Junior High. I followed in my by Kelly Wheadon fathers footsteps of working in the oilfield, and started a career as a Part Technician. This led to a bit of travel from Fort St. John to Grande Prairie, AB to Edmonton, AB, on to Fort Nelson BC and back to Edmonton in 2006 where I have remained. I have always dreamed of more... more time, more travel to exotic places, experiences, money, deeper relationships, being a better person. You name it, I was probably dreaming about it. I felt empty in my career as it was not fulfilling me anymore... Have you ever felt like that?

Then in 2010 I felt I had a purpose, I started with a company building Light Armoured Vehicles for the Military or LAVs as we called them. True purpose, I was providing safety, a machine to save lives for our Military.

My life came crashing down in 2014 when a life altering event happened, my sister passed away, at the age of 38. I was struck with loss, grief, and frozen to my path in life. I wanted her back, but there was nothing I could do. I wanted to be with my parents, but I had to go “back to work” because I only had 4 days bereavement. I felt I couldn’t “financially” take more time off. I was lost, scared, and angry. To avoid dealing with the pain, I dove into work, working as much as I could. I also started back in school to fill more time and have more income, a back up plan!

In 2016, the company closed the Edmonton Branch.
