From Halifax, Nova Scotia, to styling hair for Paris Fashion Week, celebrity hairstylist Deena Alawaid joins Madi and Katie to share how she turned a small-town beginning into a global career and why she ultimately chose to move back home. She opens up about going from hating styling to working with icons like Bella Hadid and Adriana Lima, and how leaning into social media led to a six-year ambassadorship with Dyson.

The episode also dives into relationships, support systems and boundaries. Deena shares how she and her husband balance her demanding career with marriage and kids, why having a strong village matters, and what real support from a partner actually looks like.

If you’ve ever felt “too small-town” for your big dreams, this conversation will make you want to send that DM, pitch that idea, and finally shoot your shot!

Is it manifesting… or are you just being a little delulu? 👀
In this episode of Ring On It, Madi and Katie sit down with motivational speaker Candace Carnahan to talk about how losing her leg at 21 reshaped her life and how she literally manifested the love of her life.

They dive into vision boards, journaling, talking to yourself in the car, cancelled weddings, choosing your partner every day, and doing it “for the plot” with full main character energy. If you’ve ever wondered whether the universe is sending you signs or you’re just making them up, this episode is your new obsession.

In this episode of Ring On It, Madi and Katie sit down with Dani Squires (aka @cravingdani) to talk about long-term love, engagement, and what actually matters once the honeymoon phase is over. Dani shares how she and her now-husband were together for years, bought a house, pets, and cars before getting engaged.

You’ll hear the chaotic Banff proposal story (including a badly timed bathroom break), why they chose a tiny backyard wedding instead of a huge, expensive one, and how they’ve navigated six months apart for RCMP training, yet still choose each other every day.
