The Canvas within podcast - episode #1 Enza tiberi-checchia

2017 - On this inagural episode of The Canvas Within Podcast I speak to the Co-Founder of Hats On For Awareness Charity and Blogger Enza Tiberi-Checchia. We spoke about her journey through her mental health challenges, how our traumas can now be linked to our family genes, meditation as a tool for our mental health. We also get a look into Enza’s own canvas within as she opens up about herself.

Last but not least we talked about a crystal box that I noticed on her desk while talking to her, which ends up being a gift that she is trying to get to Prince Harry (who was visiting Toronto during our interview). She is using the hastag #getthisgifttoharry in a social media campaign in attempts to get this gift to him. Take a listen and find out exactly why this box is of such importance.

2017 - I came to Canada at 5 yrs of age with my mother, father and sister. Within the first year of our arrival my brother was born. My grandmother lived with us untill I was 11.

Wishing good luck to our friend enza - Homes publishing

2016 - During my years following the building and development industry, I have encountered an assortment of people who are givers-people who give back because of a true altruistic instinct, not just a corporate obligation. One of those people is Enza Tiberi-Checcchia.  I for one will miss her clever take on design and décor, but I see her face light up when she talks about stepping into her new shoes and seeing where they will lead her.
