MEET THE HOSTS
Meet Andrea!
Meet Andrea — with zero traditional talk show hosting experience, she’s the new voice behind the mic. After a decade in post-secondary education, she completed her university studies and became one of Vancouver’s youngest holdings company CEOs. Today, her growing ecosystem includes Road To Hana Counselling and Wellness, Birds of Paradise Underwear, the Along For The Ride show, and Uncle Daryl’s Foundation.
As the owner of a mental health brand and Chair of the Board of a mental health charity, she’s on a mission to learn everything she can about mental health — and bring those conversations into the spotlight. Thanks to her journalism background, she knows exactly which questions everyone else is thinking. Her current claim to fame? Reba once called her funny in a restaurant — a fact she tries to sneak into every conversation.
Curious, candid, and never boring — while she dives deep into mental health, she’s just along for the ride.
Meet Jess!
Meet Jess - the other voice behind the mic.
A licensed RCC with two degrees in psychology, wellbeing has always been important to her — even when her career has taken her across fields. Using her background in mental health, she guides the interview with curiosity and emotional awareness.
A creative at heart, Jessie is the Producer behind Along For The Ride — carefully curating which guests are ready to come on the show and open up.
Outside of the counselling or production room, you’ll likely find her writing or picking up a new phrase — she speaks Mandarin, and is currently learning French, Spanish, & Italian.
Jess and Andrea are creating a space for well-known voices to share their experiences in a way that feels truly seen.
She’s here to join the ride.
