I was a rebellious, undiagnosed A.D.D. only child with a big personality and an even bigger desire in my heart: to help people break free from who they thought they needed to be—and become the spirit they were born to be. Especially in business. |
In my 20’s I built a wealth of experience working in business development, sales, marketing, promotions, event leadership and media with Rogers Radio, Chum, Corus Group, KVOS TV, Coca Cola, and Royal Caribbean International. I was an Emcee and Host for over 200 activities onboard a Cruise Ship and for the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay across Canada. Those were some of my fondest memories. Those positions allowed me to gain invaluable skills not only in speaking and presenting but in Marketing, Media and Entertainment. I got a good glimpse of my light through the work I was doing.
I took an intern job as a Producer/Director/Host of a travel TV Show where I first got a feeling for TV Production. I had a dream when I was 18 that I wanted to own my own TV Show one day and thought this position might help get me there… and it did!
I became an Executive Director and TV Star on my own show called the GOtoGAL which aired on a local TV station. This was a huge actualization and dream come true for me.

When I turned 30 I met my husband working on that show and we decided to open our own video storytelling company SPIRO Creative. We share stories of good people doing great work in the world. We’ve been fortunate to tell over 5000 stories of amazing people creating positive change and love the work we get to do together. We’ve even won 2 awards! I also started my own talk show called “Passionpreneur TV” that aired on Telus.
I started noticing a trend on video shoots.
I’d watch women dim their light. I'd feel their hesitation. I’d hear the inner dialogue:
“Who am I to share this?”
“What will people think?”
“I’m not ready.”
That cracked something open in me.
My heart ached to help more women rise above fear, step into their power, and own their light. Not just to be seen—but to be expressed. Fully. Freely. Authentically. I wanted to help them feel safe showing up boldly and brilliantly so they could do the work they were born to do—and thrive doing it.
That’s what Light Up with Adera is all about.
