Addressing the Poverty Pandemic, Positive After Adversity, Travel Dreams, and Living in the Moment

Senator Kim Pate who has spent nearly 40 years working in and around the legal and penal systems of Canada, with and on behalf of some of the most marginalized, victimized, criminalized and institutionalized members of our society. Kim believes that we are staring down the barrel of a poverty pandemic, and that we need to take swift, and immediate action to turn the tide. Kim’s determined efforts are keeping those that need the most help front and centre at the federal level and shares ways we can all get involved. Where would we be without Anne Brodie every week? Likely bored to tears I suspect, thankfully Anne never stops bringing us entertainment and this week she joins me with details about the long awaited Nomadland starring Frances McDormand on Disney+ now. Anne is hoping this one sweeps the Oscars and when Anne says that I know it has to be a stellar movie, plus she shares her thoughts on Made for Love on Amazon Prime , and Held available on demand. Every woman who listens to Kimberley Black’s story will have chills. In the early evening last July, Kimberley went for a walk in her neighbourhood as she often did and was found 18 hours later lying in a creek with multiple life-threatening injuries, after being assaulted and left for dead. Less than a year later Kimberley is moving forward with her life, and is offering up tales of resilience through her #bpositive initiative to help other women move forward after traumatic events in life. We are all longing for a return to normalcy and Carolyn Ray brings us a glimmer of it this week with the results of a new travel survey her company Journeywoman conducted on women’s travel readiness. Carolyn shares what travel will look like, the trend towards slow travel, and why personal safety is a top concern. How are you making out with that #quarantine15? A recent report on CNN shared that some people may have gained more than 1.5 pounds on average Lindsay Gee and believes life is about balance and finding what you need to make you feel strong and healthy. She joins me with some tips for staying healthy without beating up on yourself. Finally, I know this week has been hard on you. So for the next few weeks I’m going to end each show with an expert on mindfulness to help us all get through with our mental health intact as we roll with the third wave. This week Stephanie Valentine, a Clinical Hypnotist, holistic nutritionist and wellness coach joins me today to share ways to help you stay in the moment, and not get catch a ride on the stress train.
