Our Team
Cindy Thompson
Host
Over the past 30 years I have had the privilege of diving into the psychology behind human relationships, communication, and self-development. In witnessing amazing transformation among thousands of individuals, I have great confidence in human potential. Whether in my counselling practice, coaching leaders or as a podcaster, I am looking for possibilities and successes in each individual and in each situation.
Emily Coupal
Administrative Assistant
Emily lives in Saskatoon, SK and is mom to two beautiful, little girls. She works as an Administrative Assistant for the Saskatchewan Health Authority and is weirdly passionate about organization and grammar. As a podcast lover, she loves helping behind-the-scenes with this collaborative team and expanding her skillset.
Stacia Landry
Social Media Ambassador
Stacia lives in beautiful British Columbia and is mom to two lovely, tiny girls who fill her days with fun…and chaos! She helps with the social media aspect of A Resilience Project and is honoured to be apart of this incredible podcast!
Taryn Nergaard
Taryn is the owner and creative director of Typewriter Creative Co., a full-service design and marketing studio for creators. She is a self-published author and life coach who spent much of the last decade teaching herself the skills needed to run an online business. Now she’s passionate about using her Google education to help creators make a living and change lives with their messages. Taryn lives in British Columbia with her husband and four kids.
Alyshia Van Kannel
Alyshia lives in rural Yukon where she loves teaching the community’s pint-sized humans. She enjoys reading, exploring, learning, and all things cozy – tea, quilts, and cardigans. She is delighted to join the team to help bring stories of courage and connection to listeners.
Katie Bergman
Copywriter
Katie is a writer and social justice advocate driven by a curiosity about the interplay between inner wellbeing and social change. She wrote her book, When Justice Just Is, to illuminate how caring for the world means caring for ourselves, too. A previous guest on the podcast, Katie now supports our team as a copywriter from her home in Winnipeg, MB. She lives for exploring new countries and simple joys like waking up in a tent or savouring that first sip of black coffee in the morning.
Emily Roberts
Team Photographer
Emily lives on Vancouver Island, BC and is passionate about photography and the people she captures. She is adventurous and loves to travel, surf and be near the ocean. She is excited to have the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful project.
Robert Thompson
President of Cindy’s Fan Club
As Cindy’s husband, Robert has become very invested in supporting Cindy on A Resilience Project. As her Chief cheerleader, technical support, part editor and systems manager, Robert had no idea he would be this busy in “retirement”. Having worked as a manager in a technical section of the RCMP for most of his career, and now as a Leadership Coach at Thompson Leadership Coaching, he loves being part of this meaningful project.
