*TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of sensitive topics, including conversion therapy, hate speech, substance abuse, and child abuse. Please listen in a way that feels safe and right for you.

Epic Hair Cuts and Lasers

Do the things you want to do

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 16:25:31 GMT

Our next guest is the author of Growing Pains. She wrote the following: “Have you ever looked at your life one day and thought, “How did I get here?” Maybe you don’t recognize yourself or the life you’re living. You thought by this age or this time you’d be somewhere else. But here you are, and you have so many questions.

For me, that time was during the end of my twenties when I was quickly approaching thirty and incessantly criticizing my life.”

I’ve never related to anything more. So, let’s get into it. Babes of Quinte, please welcome Sarah Taylor Malo.

We grew up in a generation that was cleansing with “exfoliating beads”, oxy action pads, all the makeup removing wipes, and why moisturize??? The skincare game has changed a lot, and our next guest and her sister have made it their mission to develop hand-crafted natural skincare products.

Fri, 03 Nov 2023 20:31:20 GMT

After doing some fast math, we believe Benjamin Batelaan is our youngest guest.

He's a Loyalist College Alumni who graduated from Culinary Management in 2020 and went back last January to complete Business Management and Addictions and Mental Health.

65: ADHD Murder Opossums with Kelly Scott

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 16:00:00 GMT

As you may know (or not) before we interview guests, we have them fill out pre-interview forms. It's not deep: the basics, name, email, first job, current job, hometown. We also leave a spot for 'topics to avoid' or 'topics I definitely want to talk about and any additional comments we may need to know.

Just to give you an idea of how this episode is going to go, our next guest wrote, "poo poo" beside additional comments.

Kelly Scott is a medical esthetician at the Beauty Collective. She somehow went from a Loebs grocery clerk to Carleton for Sociology and Geography. And somehow ended up in medical esthetics. We'll dive into that and then also ask her questions about butthole hair removal.

Babes of Quinte, please welcome, Kelly Scott from the Beauty Collective!

64: Learning new things~Callie Hill executive director of Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 20:48:07 GMT

Indigenous peoples continuously work to reclaim their rights, language, and culture that were taken from them through colonization.

Over 30 years ago a group of parents from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory came together to create a way to raise their children so they could learn and honour their language and culture. Through this goal came Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na which plays a significant role in ensuring community members have access to their culture and language.

63: Embracing the Cringe ~ That Queen Ethan (The County Queen)

Thu, 14 Sep 2023 19:49:40 GMT

Today we are excited to welcome our most fabulous guest to date. That Queen Ethan is originally from Kitchener but came to Belleville for high school. After two years at York University for Theatre and living that city life he eventually returned to the Quinte area and oh are we happy about it.

To prepare for this episode we naturally deep-dived into That Queen Ethan's Instagram. As you may expect, it is truly magical.

Drag, fashion, and makeup have always been an outlet for Ethan, and in 2021 after many years of dabbling in drag, he decided to nourish his passion and continue to develop his drag using a creative approach. That Queen Ethan is truly the Quinte Queen. You may have had the pleasure of going to Tasty Trivia at Karlo Estates or seeing her perform at different venues throughout the Bay of Quinte and County, including the Grind & Vine, and the Hayloft.

Babes of Quinte we will be fangirling hard today since we have That Queen Ethan in full drag in the studio, she is constantly serving creativity, fashion, boldness, and pure authenticity.

59: You are KENOUGH ~ Cale Fair (Vice President) & Katie Parodo (Hospitality Lead) of Black Bear Ridge Golf & Resort

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 20:12:48 GMT

Did you know that Black Bear Ridge Golf Course started to unfold by Real Estate developers in the late 1980s? It took several years to reach its opening date in 2005 but it immediately became one of the top new golf course designs in North America by Golf Digest.

Fast forward to a Global pandemic when two outta towners, decided to buy the course and transform the golf course into a four-season resort.

Cale Fair grew up near Guelph and moved to Toronto for his career. After a start-up he had been working on went under, he took time off which ended up being extended due to a global pandemic. His friend, Alex Sharpe, who recently bought Black Bear Ridge, asked if he would like to lead the operations at Black Bear Ridge, and he decided it was a great opportunity.

Katie Parodo grew up in the Bay of Quinte and her first job was at Strato's Pizza in Consecon then later attended Dalhousie University. She has server and hospitality experience which made her the perfect fit to take on the role of Hospitality Lead at the Black Bear Ridge Golf Course & Resort.

Babes of Quinte get ready to talk about golf as we welcome Cale Fair the Vice President of Black Bear Ridge and Katie Parodo Hospitality Lead at Black Bear Ridge.

55: Always bring a sleeping bag ~ Megan Hamilton founder of UBU Skills

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 20:37:44 GMT

Today we technically have our first out-of-towner. We were so happy she reached out to us after Brazen.

Meghan Hamilton is originally from Toronto and now calls Kingston home. After high school, she attended the Toronto Metropolitan University theatre school. Her post-secondary journey brought her struggle with anxiety and depression to the surface. After working in the acting world for a couple of years, she decided to choose happiness and switch paths. She began writing and learning how to produce film and theatre. She also started to play the guitar. She continued to put positive energy into music and still does.

That isn't even the big stuff! Megan is the founder of UBU Skills and is a speaking, visibility, and confidence coach with a positive and encouraging approach. She offers 1:1 coaching, programs for small business owners, and master classes to help people learn new skills, move past fears, and work towards speaking and presence goals.

She is passionate about supporting women and non-binary folks in their quests for speaking up, self-advocacy, and finding their true voices after years of society trying to keep us quiet! Babes of Quinte please welcome Megan Hamilton the founder of UBU Skillls!

53: Teamwork, self care & dogs ~ Zoey Jouwstra, Special Events Coordinator at The Children’s Foundation

Thu, 06 Jul 2023 21:20:40 GMT

Allow me to introduce a remarkable individual whose journey has been shaped by resilience, passion and a commitment to making a positive difference in the community.

Growing up in a modest household with a young single mother who worked tirelessly to provide the same opportunities as her classmates, she understands firsthand the value of inclusive experiences for children. Inspired by her upbringing, she's dedicated her career to supporting local families in need through their work.

With a background in radio broadcasting, she honed her skills under the guidance of a remarkable mentor and a supportive all-female sales team. However, her desire to effect positive change led her to embrace the role of Special Events Coordinator at The Children's Foundation. For the past 2.5 years, she's found fulfillment in the creative work and collaboration involved in hosting beautiful events and fundraising initiatives.

Babes of Quinte, please welcome, Zoey Jouwstra, the special events coordinator at the Children's Foundation.

With a lot of laughter, tears, and support from amazing listeners and guests, the Babes of Quinte podcast is celebrating 1-year (52 episodes).

49: From the Disney Store to bones + photography ~ Deanna Way

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 20:33:55 GMT

Today we have a Quinte transplant who relocated to the area from Ottawa. Her first job was at the Disney Store in the Bayshore Mall in Ottawa and we love that.

Deanna Way is a gem of a human we first met at Brazen. She has a badass list of education, so she may be our most qualified guest yet. After high school, she completed a Bachelor of Arts in History and Philosophy from Carleton University and then went on to Algonquin College to complete an Advanced Diploma in Applied Museum Studies. She went abroad to receive a Master of Library and Information Science from Robert Gordon University.

She lives in Belleville but is our first guest to say they would rather live in Trenton. She is the Executive Director of the Quinte Museum of Natural History and is a big part of the reason why Quinte has the coolest dinosaur and whale exhibits. She is also the owner of Deanna Way Photography and shoots weddings and elopements in Ottawa and PEC! Plus she is a cat mom to three fur babies.

She is impressive and overall a solid human, Babes of Quinte please welcome Deanna Way the Executive Director of the Quinte Museum of Natural History and owner of Deanna Way Photography.

48: I love you, say it back~ Rebecca Reeves founder/owner of Boudoir Babes Squad

Thu, 08 Jun 2023 16:00:00 GMT

Today we have a true babe in the studio! She grew up down the road in the tiny town of Colborne. Her first job was at the Sobey's in Brighton but she spent a lot of time in our lovely town of Belleville.

After high school, she relocated to Belleville full-time and completed the developmental service worker program. She then decided to follow her undeniable love of chasing sunsets, natural light, and candid moments and become a photographer. She had a wide range of skills and offered lifestyle photography shoots for events, branding shoots, headshots, and more.

She recognizes that many women are incredibly hard on themselves and their bodies. After doing a Boudoir session herself, she discovered her truest passion for shooting boudoir sessions. She has built a team and created a full luxury experience. It is not just a photo shoot it is a true self-love package.

Babes of Quinte please welcome Rebecca Reeves, the founder/owner and empowerment photographer of Boudoir Babes Squad in Belleville!

45: It’s pretty groovy ~ Andy Forgie

Thu, 18 May 2023 16:13:20 GMT

We are honoured that our next guest took time out of his day to come in to record with us. He is the definition of a Belleville local! He grew up in the east end and still lives in that area.

His journey into music began when he was just nine years old. He picked up a guitar for the first time in the 6th grade and although impatient in the learning process made it work for him. In middle school, he and a couple of buddies created a band and continued to play together through high school. After highschool in the mid-70s, he did probably the coolest thing, and he and the band bought a used Econoline van and turned pro.

After a turn of events. He ended up back in Quinte in the 90s and even ran a daycare for a year called Mr. Mom. This is when he started playing children's music.

In the late 90's, he teamed up with an old band member to start the band "All You Need Is Love", they played their last show in 2021. He did not stop there. In the early 2000s, he started playing music in retirement homes as a form of music therapy to help with memory loss.

Babes of Quinte please welcome the one and only Andy Forgie, a full-time musician and the promotions Manager at the Empire Theatre!

44: Bring the dad energy ~ Evan Furmidge with Rufo Real Estate Team

Thu, 11 May 2023 20:12:34 GMT

Our next guest is someone Kay met when she first moved to the Bay of Quinte nearly 14 years ago. Admittedly, she hasn't seen him in about 8 years, but in her brain, they're still bros, so here we are....

He's currently a Realtor at the Rufo Real Estate team and makes informative content with his signature 'dad joke' humour. Like, how a single man shouldn't hang Beer Store artwork when staging a condo.

Don't let that fool you though, Evan is super knowledgeable about market trends, interest rates, income properties and the hottest topic on everyone's mind - the housing crisis.

During the pandemic, he chronicled his journey into fitness and boxing. We vividly remember a headband and a ball on a stretchy string. We also it remember going very poorly. We'll get into that a little later.

He's also a dad to two incredibly cute kids and married to a total bombshell baking queen. Babes of Quinte, please welcome, Evan Furmidge.

43: Birds sounds & other things w/ Keirra Reid & Christine Reid

Thu, 04 May 2023 12:30:00 GMT

Today we have our first siblings on the pod. One is technically a recurring guest but due to technical difficulties, the general podcast listeners did not hear it.

Keirra Reid is the head chef at The Grange Winery. She also was kind enough to be our special guest for out "Let's See What Happens" Bingo. Her first official job was in a Bakery in Haliburton. She paved her way through the culinary world and now creates the most amazing food for Prince Edward County to Enjoy. She is a badass aunt and a dog mom to an adorable Aussie Shepard named Monty.

We did say siblings... during the bingo live we had the pleasure of meeting Kierra's sister, Christine! She is a true firecracker. You may have had the pleasure of seeing some of her amazing photography skills, most recently, all the amazing food photos from The Local Social House. She has over 14 years of experience and has done over 300 wedding shoots. She is honest, not afraid to get dirty, and loves tequila (same lady same). She loves running marathons which baffles us but we love a fit queen.

They grew up working in their family's construction business and are really good at flooring. They are each other's biggest cheerleaders and we want to be their best friends. Babes of Quinte Please welcome Kierra Reid head chef at the Grange winery and Christine Reid owner and operator of Christine Reid Photography.

We have been Instagram friends from near the beginning of the launch of the podcast and this luckily meant we have been able to watch her grow her family, with the addition of an adorable pupper. We've also had the pleasure of watching her take what brings her joy and grow it into a business.

Sarah Tokley is originally from Ingersoll, Ontario, but now calls Belleville home. She attended Durham College for sports administration but after having to regroup during the pandemic she followed her dream and opened Your Creative Junction. Your Creative Junction is using creativity to promote positive mental wellness (BIG SNAPS)!

She offers craft parties and workshops. She is a networking kween and has teamed up with other local creatives to offer collaborative crafting workshops. She recently took a huge step and opened a storefront at 444 Dundas St, W.

Today we are deep diving into our favourite world of crafting with the expert! Babes of Quinte please welcome Sarah Tokley the founder and owner of Your Creative Junction! And our new neighbour!

41: BDE in Real Estate ~ Dominique McIntyre, team lead of McIntyre Vaughan & Co Real Estate Group

Thu, 20 Apr 2023 14:59:54 GMT

When I came across our next guest, I thought, "If I were to open a dictionary right now, this person's photo would be beside the definition of BDE."

For those uneducated, BDE is big d*ck energy, which means you walk with confidence, but not arrogance.

She was born in Chatham, Ontario. Which by the way is also home to Sam Panopoulos – inventor of the Hawaiian pizza, but now is a proud resident of Quinte West.

Her first job was corn detasseling and honestly have NO idea what that means. She left Chatham to pursue post-secondary in Occupational & Physiotherapy.

She's now a realtor & the team lead at McIntyre Vaughan & Co. - a real estate group with eXp Realty Brokerage. She also offers mentoring services to new realtors about how to get started in real estate. Spoiler alert: it's not all high-fashion and bell ringing.

Babes of Quinte, please welcome Dominique McIntyre.

** Trigger Warning: This episode contains talk about mental health, diet culture, body shame, and disordered eating **

We are so happy that today's guest slid into our DMs a couple of months ago. From the moment we first spoke with we instantly clicked.

She is a Quinte local who grew up in beautiful Wellington. She listed her first job as a toss-up between her dad's butcher shop (which I am obsessed with) and working at Presquile Provincial Parks as a maintenance student. I mean what gets more Bay of Quinte than that?

Today we are chatting with a Quinte transplant who is originally from the west coast! Her hometown is Comox BC but she now calls the Bay of Quinte home.

Ultimately she finished a diploma in Advanced Psychology and Counselling and SSW at Loyalist College. She then completed a degree in Family and Community Social Services through Guelph-Humber.

33: Big CEO Energy ~ Stephanie Rayton CEO of Mops Inc.

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 20:37:08 GMT

Today we are talking to a Quinte transplant who has made a name for herself as a successful female entrepreneur in the area.

Stephanie Rayton is originally from Barrie and is a mom to three amazing girls. She relocated to the Bay of Quinte hoping for a slower-paced lifestyle. After settling in and getting to know her new community she launched her first business, Mommy Mops. Mommy Mops was the cleaning company you didn't have to clean for. Her hope was that busy families wouldn't beat themselves up about the state of their homes and welcome an outside cleaning service.

Stephanie is a fearless risk-taker, who loves what she does. Her focus is on business growth and development. With this focus came a rebrand of Mommy Mops into Mops Inc. Mops Inc. is a commercial cleaning service that puts vibrant cleanliness at the core of everything they do. The team of 30+ vibrant, quirky, laugh-loving people offers cleaning services for large commercial spaces, hotels, and multi-unit vacation rentals. They are led by their fearless leader Stephanie Rayton.

Stepping in at the 11th hour to save our butt is our friend and co-worker, Cole Nayler. He grew up in Kingston and then attended Conestoga College in Kitchener for Broadcast Radio and TV.

He has agreed to talk to us about himself and the upcoming Superbowl as long as snakes are not involved in the interview. He is married to a wonderful lady who we may like more than him and we definitely like his 13-year-old dog Winnie more than him. He’s also a cat dad to the grumpiest feline Kay has ever met.

Today we have the pleasure of talking to the potential next Mayor of Belleville. A man of many talents, he is a comedian, writer, actor, producer, director, and musician. He grew up in our beautiful Belleville and has made a name for himself in our friendly city.
