We tend to regret what we didn't do, so at the end of the day 'do you.' Here's to continued curiosity, pushing outside of comfort zones, and lifelong learning.
A JILL OF MANY TRADES
& MASTER OF ONE ~ MYSELF.
my life in two buckets
is it just me or when it boils down to it, our lives could fit into two buckets, work and play… curious: how many buckets do you have?
at work
do what you love, and never work a day in your life.
lots of late nights, early mornings, and all-nights to know that at the end of the day, it’s best we figure out how to scale and drive business efficiencies. leverage tech, empower employees, and tell your story.
at play
blogs, vlogs, and logs - oh hey!
documenting my journey, and using my personal website as a platform to capture my adventures, interests, and thoughts. who knows, i might inspire a few along the way to face their fears as i did.
Top 8 Passions (other than "all things Marketing")
01.
leveraging tech
completely addicted to finding and leveraging technology to scale corporate growth
02.
user conversions
figuring out the funnel, reducing churn, and “leveling up” the user type/tier… warms me right up!
03.
storytelling
in love with igniting & positioning brand narratives to match the corporate culture
04.
my team
building, coaching, and scaling talented teams of varying sizes. #yourvibeattractsyourtribe
05.
family & friends
the eldest of 5, family first is a must… friends equals family that we get to choose
06.
two-wheels
be it downhill mountain biking, dirt biking, or motorcycling… always ready to do it all
07.
lifelong learning
never stop learning. always continue to evolve, because #darwinstheory
08.
laughs & fun
why so serious? smile. we’re here for a good time, not a long time. living every day with intention.

I mean, who’s “Heather” of Chapters anyways? A bit out of place, but I figured by including my reads, I not only hold myself accountable for my “I’ve always wanted to Read A Book A Week” goal but also, my reviews and recommendations may inspire others *ahem, my siblings* to check out the books too! (p.s. In case you were wondering, “Heather” is Chapters CEO & Chief Booklover)
what i write about... aka some blog tags
Once you stop learning, you start dying.

From being forced to learn how to drive a manual transmission, to learning how to ride a motorcycle and dirt bike (which are completely different, btw); tagged “LEARN” are a collection of my “I’ve always wanted to learn…” adventures. Follow my chase to get better with current and new hobbies.
The mind is everything. What you think, you become.
– Buddha
This collection is all about following my heart and feeling great in the process. Follow my progress of becoming a Yogi, meditator, runner, artist, and probably more. I am not trying to become the “pro” kind; rather I’m simply casting a vote everyday to help unleash these skills and titles within. “You’re welcome future Salyna…”
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
– Confucius
Could be argued as my favorite collection, “TRAVEL” is a series of stories abroad including those that will make you laugh, question “how I made it this far in life,” and perhaps provoke belly butterflies. This collection includes details of what I’ve done abroad, and one of my proudest “I’ve always wanted to” moment to-date – Taking my mom and grandparents to Laos.

a casual hobby that I am thrilled to acquire into my repertoire of trades… how it came about? essentially, I’ve always found myself reminiscing “remember the time…” and through journaling, photographs, and now video [and of course a quick video edit], it’s simply another outlet for me to refer during forgetful times. enjoy!

A tiny throwback to our 50cm snowfall. He woke up like a kid on Christmas day, and we celebrated it that way too. Took to the ravine and "carved" into the pure fluff... I mostly fell and tried not to ride into a tree or off the cliff! Until that day, I didn't know snow could be "too fluffy" for boarding. Mind you, I was mostly trying not to run into a tree, lol. You know, just doing what's good for the heart and keeping it goin' with some adrenaline. Thanks babe for the confidence boost and helping me out when I was buried alive ❤🌨👊🥶🏂 PS. If you can't make fun and laugh at yourself, then you're just leaving it to your haters and what's the fun in that? #creator #reelsaddict #nofilter #trendingreels #trendingnow #ThrowbackThursday #ThankfulThursday #salynasworld #buriedalive #torontosnow #torontosnowstorm #welovesnow #psAdventures #salynasworld #snowboarding #fluffysnow
Mental health check! I'm fine. I'm totally fine 🤯 Lol, but for seriously, be sure to not let the snow get you down or keep you indoors. Facts: being outdoors has been shown to lower stress, blood pressure and heart rate, while increasing mood and improving mental health. #transformationtuesday #TuesdayTips #transformationtuesday #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdayvibes #creator #reelsaddict #torontosnowstorm #torontosnow #SalynasWorld #nofilter #hikerlife #hikersofinstagram #hiketoronto #RunnersOfInstagram #summittraining
Finally powder I don't mind wiping out in... I mean it's only fun when you try jumps, no?🏂🌨 So not gonna lie, I've always been a timid/safe rider... but this year, with our recent snowfall and a great ass coach, I'm swinging my body into the carves and even trying out little jumps here and there. Getting the air, and not landing the fall is great when you have 50cm of fluff to fall into 🤤🥰😂 Bravo babe! 👏 #salynasworld #psAdventures #snowboardcouples #snowboarding #powpow #powder #torontosnowstorm #welovesnow
