Real Lives of Sask Wives

This week, Jordhan sits down with Kendra Leffler, owner of Performance Powerhouse Pilates, to chat about the journey that brought her from small-town Saskatchewan to building a business of her own in Saskatoon. Kendra shares what it was like growing up in rural Saskatchewan, making the move to the big city, and eventually taking the leap into entrepreneurship. They get into the realities of opening a Pilates studio, what it was like navigating the fitness industry through COVID, and how Performance Powerhouse Pilates became what it is today. They also chat about motherhood, Kendra’s decision to be one and done, and the confidence that comes with knowing what feels right for your own family.

This week, Jordhan sits down with hairstylist and salon owner Lindsay Mann to chat about the journey of building a business, navigating partnerships, and eventually taking the leap to branch out on her own. Lindsay shares what it was like owning a salon alongside multiple partners, what she learned along the way, and how those experiences led her to create a brand-new salon of her own. They talk about trusting your gut, taking risks, and what it really looks like to start over and build something that feels completely yours.

This week, Jordhan sits down with Courtney Berg Santoro for a conversation all about nutrition, motherhood, and learning how to nourish your body through some of life’s biggest changes. Courtney shares her own journey with food and fitness, how her relationship with nutrition has evolved over the years, and what nourishing your body can actually look like through pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. They talk about navigating a changing body, letting go of the pressure to do everything “right,” and finding an approach to food that supports women through every season of life. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, deep in the motherhood trenches, or simply trying to build a healthier relationship with food and your body, this episode is an honest and refreshing conversation about fueling yourself through it all.

This week, Jordhan sits down solo for a conversation that’s been on her mind for months. After receiving an extremely graphic pro-life pamphlet in her mailbox, she shares what happened, why it affected her so deeply, and her thoughts on the way these messages are being delivered to families in our communities. Then, things get a little lighter as she talks about what it’s like essentially co-parenting with her sister instead of her husband, the chaos of raising little kids, and the age she’s found the absolute hardest so far. A little heavy, a little funny, and a very real look at motherhood, marriage, and the things Jordhan can’t stop thinking about.

This week, Jordhan kicks things off with a quick life update after the start of the school year completely derailed her weekend. She’s talking back-to-school exhaustion, a house that feels permanently in shambles, why no one else seems nearly as bothered by it, and the very important distinction between a house that’s tidy and one that’s actually clean. Then, Jordhan sits down with Saskatoon Olympian, mom, and baker Michelle Harrison. Michelle shares the long road that took her from chasing a spot at the Tokyo Olympics, through injury and setbacks, to finally stepping onto the Olympic stage in Paris in 2024. She opens up about the years of training and sacrifice behind that moment, how baking became a creative outlet during some of the hardest parts of her athletic career, and the unexpected way it grew into her business, Prairie Wisk. Now a mom, Michelle also shares what motherhood has looked like alongside elite sport, how her priorities have shifted, and what it means to continue chasing big goals in a completely new season of life.It’s a conversation about resilience, identity, motherhood, and what can happen when the path to your biggest goal looks nothing like you thought it would.
