My first guest is Dr. Paula Gordon from Dense Breasts Canada, who shares details of a new report that provides insight into how outdated and inconsistent breast screening practices across Canada are resulting in confusion over how and when women should get screened, dismissal of women’s concerns by healthcare practitioners, and tragic late diagnoses of breast cancer. This week on RBC’s She the Boss, I speak with Leigh Joseph from Sḵwálwen, an Indigenous skincare brand that honours cultural knowledge, Indigenous plant science and self care. Leigh combines ancestral traditions with modern beauty rituals, empowering people to connect to themselves and the natural world. Anne Brodie has entertainment you don’t want to miss this week including Canadian Indigenous filmmaker Danis Goulet's Night Raiders, the Wild West film Old Henry, starring Tim Black Nelson, HULU’s delicious Baker’s Dozen, and the highly entertaining one-off look at the dozens of bare-faced movie tropes we've endured as a society over the past 100 plus years on Netflix, called Attack of the Hollywood Cliche hosted by Rob Lowe. This week’s explosive news about Facebook and Instagram has us all questioning how much division social media platforms are creating in society. Sherilynne Starkie from the Being Human is Good for Business podcast joins me to specifically discuss the issue of vaccines, and you may be surprised to hear that she thinks social media is not driving us apart on this issue. Denise Chand & Jennifer John Founders of The Sacred Space Coaching join me to share a few tips for breaking free of the rut this pandemic has placed many of us and how to embrace your life to become unstoppable. Finally, Rose Powell from Zealous Baby Care wants to ensure that everyone in the family, from baby to mom, dad and siblings, are getting the rest they need so they can all be at their best. Rose shares how she helps families achieve that.
