Leveling the Paying Field, Pharmacy in a Box, Divorce Finances, and Superfood for Your Skin

Women have carried the brunt of the economic, social, and labour consequences of the pandemic inspiring new ideas like “she-cession”, “she-covery” and my recent favourite, “mandemic”. With governments and business leaders talking about a “feminist post-covid recovery”, Ontario’s Pay Equity Office wants to level the paying field. Kadie Ward, Commissioner and CAO of the Ontario Pay Equity Commission joins me to share details about their six part series Level the Paying Fieldthat explores issues related to economics, equity, women, work and money. During the pandemic, many Canadians experienced something they never experienced before….drug shortages. With supply chain and manufacturing issues, even the most basic medications were difficult to keep in stock. In underdeveloped countries, drug shortages have been a reality for much longer with 1.6m preventable African deaths per year from Malaria, HIV/AIDS, and Tuberculosis - all treatable ailments. Morenike Oláòṣebìkan shares how her Pharmaceutical Factory in a Box is poised to change all that. Anne Brodie is taking a well deserved hiatus this week to recover from TIFF, but she isn’t leaving us high and dry because this lady NEVER stops. You’ll definitely want to hear her interview with Ashley Zukerman who stars in The Lost Symbol, the origins series of the Dan Brown symbologist character (The DaVinci Code, Angels & Demons) that kicks off on  Corus' Showcase Oct 11. With divorce rates rising by as much as 30% during Covid, there was no way we couldn’t address it as part of our ongoing personal finance Masterclass with Meridian Credit Union. In the 6th of our 8 classes, Teresa Valenti, Senior Wealth Advisor with Meridian Credit Union joins me to share what women can expect when going through a divorce. Graydon Moffat, a local Torontonian, founder, and superfood mixologist is behind Graydon Skincare. Often referred to as a “Skincare Chef,” Graydon is re-imaging the beauty industry in a way that’s more nourishing than ever before. Graydon joins me to share how she’s keeping beauty for the earth and us, in the beauty industry. Finally, what we all need in our life right now is more music. Caroline Marie Brooks joins me to discuss her new album Everything at the Same Time and closed out the show with To the Waves, one of the singles off her new album.
