She started in puppetry and teaching, discovered healing in the jungle, and now she’s bringing untold stories to life on screen.

🎬 Actress 🎭 Director 📝Screenwriter 🧠 Coach

In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Rebecca E Tremblay joins me to talk about her journey through film, motherhood, healing, and the unique blend of hats she continues to embody in her life.

She shares her experience working through personal trauma, filming her own projects, healing her womb through ayahuasca, and learning how to shift from overperforming to authenticity.

This one goes deep—on creativity, grief, feminine leadership, psychedelic ceremony, motherhood, coaching, and what it means to claim your voice in a world that often wants to define it for you.

💡 Topics We Dive Into:

The shift from overacting to self-awareness

Becoming a filmmaker to cast herself in roles no one was offering

What Are We Really Looking For? - w/ Luc McLaughlin

This episode had no plan. No outline. No pressure. Just a real-time, unscripted conversation between two men reflecting on the tension we all feel—but rarely talk about.

Luc McLaughlin joins me for a powerful sit-down that weaves through the struggles of modern identity, dating culture, self-sabotage, and the illusion of fulfillment through our jobs and roles.

What started as a casual catch-up turned into a raw exploration of the ways we posture, protect, and perform in everyday life—especially as men trying to figure it out in a world full of distraction and disconnection.

• The truth behind dating apps & how they disconnect us from connection
• How we use productivity and purpose to mask deeper discomfort
• What it means to “work on yourself” without making it another performance
• Masculinity, vulnerability & why men need to talk more—and fix less
• The trap of chasing healing without checking your self-awareness
• Luc’s reflections on burnout, identity shifts & reclaiming simplicity

Whether you’re navigating burnout, questioning your own patterns, or just tired of surface-level talk—this one invites you to slow down and be with the truth of where you’re at.

Sometimes the realest episodes are the ones you don’t prepare for.

In this solo episode, I sat down after my return from Peru and hit record with no script—just a pulse. What came through was a wide-ranging, honest reflection on everything from sacred medicine to Canadian politics to my own evolving path.

Here’s what I dive into:

🌿 Ayahuasca retreat in Peru — the format, the setting, singing in ceremony, and what’s stayed with me since

🔥 Integration — the lifestyle changes I’m embodying post-ceremony

✈️ Touristing & hard NOs — learning shed the old life in Peru

❄️ Leaving winter behind — escaping the cold and the need for well-being

🇨🇦 Canada’s current landscape — the economy, politics, and a real talk on Wexit

🌍 What community even means — and where I feel it, or don’t

🎧 Jus Talkin’s evolution — the podcast's mission, direction, and renewed intention

💼 Opus shifting into Corporate Wellness — getting the root cause

🧠 The pain I carry for men — and why this work still grips my heart

🙏 My relationship with God — and what that even means for me right now

This episode is honest, gritty, and pulled straight from the moment.

No polish, just truth.
