In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guests are Danni & Christine. We are Danielle and Christine – a couple of “40 – something” Canadian gals living our best life and wanting to include YOU on the journey. We met when our oldest boys became fast friends at a local park. A few dozen playdates, cases of wine, dinner dates and vacations later – the rest is history! This blog was born from a desire to include the more established woman in the blogging sphere. We wanted to create a template that was relatable to a family that is starting to face the challenges of kids leaving the nest, “big kid issues,” aging, and the excitement / trepidation of this next stage. In this episode we discuss blogging, motherhood, mojo and moxie, partnership, life after the kids have left home and relatability and honesty.

We are Danielle and Christine – a couple of “40 – something” Canadian gals living our best life and wanting to include YOU on the journey. We met when our oldest boys became fast friends at a local park. A few dozen playdates, cases of wine, dinner dates and vacations later – the rest is history! This blog was born from a desire to include the more established woman in the blogging sphere. We wanted to create a template that was relatable to a family that is starting to face the challenges of kids leaving the nest, “big kid issues,” aging, and the excitement / trepidation of this next stage. With backgounds in communications and holistic nutrition between us we wanted to share what we know AND what we don’t. Our musings are simply our own observations and Mojo vs. Moxie is dedicated to each of us taking a stance on an issue. Sometimes it might be something we are personally dealing with, or something that might come up in this next stage of life. Hang out – enjoy and feel free to comment and subscribe. We hope to keep you entertained and informed and provide a little laughter along the way.

Danni - I am a wife and mom to 2. Over the years I have been a soccer mom, dance mom, swimming mom, lacrosse mom, football mom and a hockey mom. You got it, in my spare time, I drive. Driving is my hobby and I got quite good at it.! I am my children’s biggest fan and you may just hear a loud cheer from me every once in a while. Health and wellness is a huge part of my life. With a background in holistic nutrition, I have been known to take the fun out of food by sometimes throwing out facts on why that cake tastes so good. I usually get the response of ‘please do not tell us this is gluten free or sugar free and let us enjoy it!” I am constantly learning more everyday and hope that I make an impact on my children so that they continue to live a healthy life. I am not a cardio person but prefer the slower pace of a yoga class or just a great long walk with a friend.

Christine - I’m Christine, wife and mom to three teens and I’m passionate first about my family and about making memories with them. Anyone who knows me will tell you I love to make a holiday special and I love to celebrate big. Nothing makes me happier than having the family together, creating and planning the moment and enjoying it with them.

I’m a red wine FANATIC – although really, any colour will do. I enjoy great food, but I’m not a foodie. I prefer simple, fresh and fun to anything fancy and fussy. I love to travel and prefer “experiences” to “things” all day long. I love fashion in the sense that I like to look classy, current and cute – not necessarily avant garde. AND I am always the girl that gets the phone call, “what are YOU making for dinner tonight?” because I love to cook for my family and try new things. I am organized and slightly anal. I COULD be considered a bit of a control freak?

I ALWAYS make time for exercise because I love the feeling when I’m done – not because I’m an athlete. In fact, any stray ball or puck usually finds its way to my head in the stands, which provides no end of comic relief to my family…

I am the ultimate supporter of our kids. They are all athletes and I research how to feed them best, train them best and deal with their different personalities. I honestly can say I am there for anything they decide to do. I dive in 100%.
