We’ve gone back to the beginning dear Reframeables! Back to where it all began — because sometimes you have to look back to move forward.
In this episode Nat and Bec introduce their “exceptional” details — who, what, where, including the frenemy relationship between their cats. Then they dive into some place-based memories that need reframing. For Nat it’s their childhood shed that Bec locked her in (she made Rebecca do it!); for Bec it’s the Starbucks at SickKids Hospital in Toronto where she spent a lot time during her daughter’s heart surgery.
They play the “do you remember when?” game throughout and come to the realization that starting small when it comes to reframing place-based memories is helpful. They might not be able to fix the whole place, but they can “attack” the memory room by room.

What is there to learn from Nat almost drowning? Getting back in the water might require a floaty. Or if you prefer another visual metaphor: Get back on the horse. Especially if it’s a toy horse! Our life changing disasters do not have to define us negatively. In fact, sitting up a little higher might offer some fresh perspective.
Dear Reframeables,
Some housekeeping. We have decided to move to one episode a month for the next six months to give ourselves time to pursue some of the other projects we are working on. But we will also be ADDING one community event per month, which could look like an in-person event or an online book club. So less talking and more gathering :) Stay tuned for details and we hope you consider joining us live as we keep building our reframeables community - always looking for fresh perspectives through our reframing lens.
Also, we look forward to seeing some of you rocking our podcast merch in the streets! If you’re interested in a sweatshirt, please send us a message by Thursday. We will be placing an order on Friday. The shirts are gorgeous and organic and come in multiple styles and colours.
Xo Nat and Bec
