Women in a Covid Economy, Social Media Done Right, and Gift Ideas for Christmas

Jennifer Reynolds, President & CEO of Toronto Finance International. I last spoke with Jennifer in August about the state of affairs for women in the economy, and asked her this week to share the good, the bad, and the ugly four months later. Spoiler alert, there is no good and you’ll want to definitely listen to how this could get uglier. Moms everywhere are struggling to figure out what to put under the tree this year, with a lot of our usual fallbacks either not relevant or not available. Jaime Damak a popular blogger and radio personality is joining me with a fantastic list of suggestions for the whole family. Anne Brodie only brought the ladies this week for entertainment with two new releases starring Meryl Streep, a performance so incredible from Drew Barrymore that Anne had to put a call into the publicist to ask if that was really her acting, and a new show on Amazon Prime that will have your heart pounding. Running a social media account for a public health unit is not for the faint of heart during a pandemic, but the social team at Ottawa Public Health has been garnering recognition from around the globe for their straight forward, fact filled social shares that come with a fantastic sense of humour. I speak with the team lead Kevin Parent about the strategy behind it all. The one thing many of us are missing this holiday season, are the festive events that typically would keep us hopping in December but thankfully we can find some online like Perfect Pairings. Christina Lupkoski from The Substance Group joins me to share details about this virtual brunch experience you can share with friends and family at a distance. Finally Carol Rose Goldeneye joins me to share details on her latest book The Narrows of Fear which is a powerful and compelling novel about Aboriginal women reclaiming and celebrating indigenous culture and traditions.
