REAL TALK resilience about health setbacks and business pivots, all with my sassy and outgoing point of view.
From facial paralysis (Bell’s Palsy) and closing a family business to building a thriving Instagram community and coaching others in self-care and reinvention, I offer real-life stories + actionable strategies. I am experienced, speak well and have been asked to come back again on many occasions!
Bio:
Barbie is known for her infectious passion and continuous resilience. After leaving a successful career in upper management 15 years ago, she has been a thriving entrepreneur, building several successful businesses. Primarily, she worked alongside her mom and sister producing 14 dance competitions per year in Western Canada where the theme at all events was “You Belong Here”.
A charismatic and experienced leader, author, speaker, and podcast host on “Real Talk with Barbie”, she shines brightest when helping others feel they are important in their own way. She speaks on her experiences and she has grown from them; mental health, motherhood, business, marriage and life from a “real” perspective. Barbie is loud about learning self care, boundaries, and limits - from her sassy point of view.
We have so many opportunities in this life if we choose to notice them and realize the Universe will support us - as long as we show up. Let’s talk.

You closed a long-running family business in the pandemic, how did you cope and rebuild?
You transitioned from dance competitions to social-media community and coaching, what was the pivot journey like?
