Their relationship had some bumps, but nothing this solid pair couldn't overcome. Somehow, this life partnership makes for the most beautiful music.

Imagine falling in love just as major world events are happening.

This week's love story belongs to Mariya and Matt.

They met in 2018 when Matt, a Canadian playwright, travelled to Ukraine for a workshop. There, he met Mariya, an accomplished and passionate actor. They went from creative collaborators, to friends, to lovers, and eventually husband and wife. Oh, and new parents on top of it all. 

A lot of love stories have twists, turns and challenges but their love story has included a global pandemic and a tragic war. Not only did their relationship endure, it flourished. And now they're sharing it with audiences across Canada in a powerful new play called "First Métis Man Of Odesa".

For some, building a family can be a gruelling journey. Sometimes you need some help.

This week’s love story belongs to Adelle and Shanyn, two schoolmates and moms whose friendship developed in a unique way. When their mutual friend Jeffrey wanted to start a family with his partner Kevin, they were on the hunt for not one, but two surrogates. 

Adelle and Shanyn stepped up to the plate, and are now helping to start that family for Jeffrey and Kevin, together. It's safe to say, they are closer than ever.

Today's dating landscape comes with many frustrations and challenges. It's hard. And sometimes you need some help.

This week on Canadian Love Map we are serving up a special INSIGHTS episode all about how to be better in the modern dating world. We know that love isn't a straight line and every once in a while it's normal to need a little course correction on the journey to finding a match. That's where dating coaches step in.

We welcome Sean Aucoin, a male dating coach with the Book of Love Canada to share his insights and provide some tips for males who are navigating the dating space. After learning the hard lessons himself, Sean is now helping men be better daters.

Today's love story belongs to Dani and her parents, Alison and Bryan, who also happened to be the inspiration for her now famous cocktail called The Liquid Love Letter.

Before Dani came along, Alison and Bryan were a young couple who decided to part ways. But when they both travelled to Guatemala for separate solo adventures, Bryan decided to write a love letter to Alison to get her back. Bryan's letter worked, and their trips turned into a romantic new beginning that led to their 36 year marriage.

Now, their daughter Dani has earned a top 30 finalist position in the World Class bartending competition and entered the national competition as an alternate.

We are doing something a little different this week.

We are celebrating International Women's Day by showcasing the amazing women in our lives. Too often, we forget to pause and give thanks to those who mean the most to us. Which is why on this podcast we're all about honoring the extraordinary qualities of ordinary people.

This week, we invited listeners and past guests to phone in offering their vocal tokens of appreciation for the incredible women in their lives: mothers, friends, mentors, and role models alike.

There's nothing better than a maritime party. Good people, good music and good times.

Today's love story belongs to Mary Janet and Cecil. We've already chatted with Mary Janet on Canadian Love Map in season four, when we focused on the phenomenal success of her Facebook cooking show "Tunes and Wooden Spoons". Today we moved from the kitchen to the living room, in their cozy Cape Breton home.

We meet Mary Janet's long-time love, Cecil and hear the entertaining tale of their romance from the start to present day. It's a love story with all the right ingredients: good old-fashioned love and laughter.

In 1955, two babies were born a week apart at the same hospital. They had different moms. But unbeknownst to either woman, the babies shared the same father.

This love story belongs to Dorothy and Don: a pair of half siblings who found each other six decades through an ancestry search. Now amidst further discoveries, and synchronicities, these long-lost siblings are carving out a beautiful relationship.

They say talent runs in the family. And that is certainly the case for our guests this week. 

Today's love story belongs to the Guthro family. This musical and talented family have been warming the hearts of audiences, both together and individually, for decades.

We are joined in the studio by award-winning singer-songwriter Bruce Guthro - a guy who's found fame on both sides of the Atlantic, his rising star daughter Jodi, and the captain of the good ship Guthro, Kim. The only reason Dylan Guthro couldn't join is that he's too busy making a splash in Nashville!
