Soul Project
For the last several years, I have been living under a basket. Afraid to talk to people in person. Afraid to show the world what I fear I have become. And it’s my doing. When you mess up your work/life balance, the imbalance will manifest itself somewhere. It has to… Follow this journey and watch it lead to stories from our audience as well. If you’re new to the soul project, we urge you to scroll down to the first soul project post to understand the history behind the project and how it got started.
Kicking Off BBQ Season with Original Healthy Summer Recipes
With Victoria Day almost past and Memorial Day weekend on its way, food no doubt plays centre stage as you make plans with friends and family. That is no reason to trade in our good food habits for bad (but it could be a reason to break in new good habits if you haven’t done [...]

Sharing a Source of Inspiration – How do you get inspired?
Question: Do you inspire easily? What are the types of things that ‘move’ you – I mean really move you toward taking action? Now that I’m back on track and working hard toward my goal, laser focus and determination are paramount. Every day I read something, watch something; listen to something – and produce [...]
New Neighbourhood. New Gym.
Since I’ve moved to the new hood, I’ve taken the time to test out the gyms in the area before making that all important year long commitment. And don’t get me wrong – I’ve been trying the home-workout thing – and though I will continue to supplement my gym workout with home exercise in between, [...]
Too Much Tea and Sweetbread: Separating the Relationship between Food and Comfort
I suppose the time has come to tell the difference between all the tea offered in good times and in times of distress and the love of the person offering it…
After the Hiatus is Over… You Start Again. Are You Ready?
Tonight I continued my work (at least in the physical sense) with the Soul Project – after a hiatus I have yet to explain, but the mental and emotional work has been ongoing. On all counts, however, this hiatus I’ve been on – is over. It’s full force ahead with a renewed passion along with [...]
My Run with Jillian Michaels (among other things :)
I’ve discovered that the most valuable part of this ongoing Soul Project is the time being spent in between – the actual journey that takes place while you’re losing the weight… literally. It’s the journey you go on mentally while you’re running… while you’re pressing those dumbbells toward the ceiling; while you’re struggling to bring up that torso for the 40th situp in a row – while the rain lightly kisses your forehead as you work your way through it during your last kilometre home.
Video No. 4 – The Soul Project
Myself (Nancy Duffy of InRetro Radio) and Fitness Guru Scott Tousignant, hit the gym for some cardio… only I’m not really use to cardio at the stage that you see me here in this video. Admittedly, it is embarrassing to reveal myself to all of you this way – but this was a necessary step [...]
Video #3 – The Soul Project
It’s about time for a Soul Project update wouldn’t you say? This is a commentary on how I was feeling after one workout in particular. I’m nearing the midway-point in real-life time of trying to reach my goal… and to be honest, I could use some encouraging words of support! We’re just now catching up [...]
Video #2 – The Soul Project – Laying it on the line
Today the hard work begins. Host, Nancy Duffy lays the ground-work toward the achievement of her personal ‘Soul Project’ – along with the help of a pretty good support team. Life is short – so there’s no time like the present to make it GAME ON! Before watching Video #2 of the Soul Project series [...]
