Interview with Nadia Hohn of Blue Butterfly Blog!

I am absolutely thrilled to have done an interview/conversation with my friend Nadia of Blue Butterfly Blog! Nadia has been blogging her experience of healing from thyroid cancer and by doing so has created a very popular and valuable wellness site. Here is our conversation in a handy youtube video. ….and just to tell you up front, Yes I did just learn how to use captions properly…so enjoy!

Many thanks to the very generous folks at The Free Times Cafe in Toronto for giving us the chance to shoot in their performance space.
