HERspective

We are almost at a full year since the pandemic really hit and shut the world down; and since then it has become the topic of most conversations. With multiple school closures, isolation, removal of organized sports and other activities children depend on for socialization and even refuge, we wanted to chat about the affects the pandemic has had and continues to have on children. Joined by Clinical therapist and social worker in children’s mental health Kayla Marques, we discuss signs, symptoms and tips on how to help children cope with the drastic changes in their lives and lifestyles; as well as points on what to look for when it comes to mental health conditions like depression and anxiety within kids. Kayla also breaks down some misconceptions about mental illness and provides a ton of valuable information and perspectives on what parents/guardians can do to help the children in their lives get through these challenging times.

For more information on children's mental health resources check out Kinark and Kids Help Phone

We are joined by the fabulous and 'ab-ulous' Kerolin Bassier, she is a fitness enthusiast (best abs ever), mum of two, entrepreneur, mental health advocate and tell-it-like-it-is lady. Kerolin shares her experiences and journey of break-ups and make-ups with her now husband which helped her learn about who she is and discover her voice to express what she wanted and what she wouldn't stand for. She also discusses the "wake-ups" she went through that helped her find real confidence as well as healthy ways to cope with mental illness. We talk #momlife and the parts of it that are rarely discussed, like how so many moms don't even know they are suffering from post-partum depression. We also get into why it is so important to talk about ALL the sides of motherhood, not just the good and the  "it is such a blessing," sides, it is, but it's also hard AF!

Did it even happen if you didn't post it? What if you did post it but wish it didn't happen? We are joined by the fabulous ladies of the Millennial Girls podcast, Racquel Goldy and Natasha Salehi to discuss whether to delete or not to delete an exes pictures off your social media. With each one of us being at all different stages of life, we all have different opinions and perspectives on this controversial question. The ladies also talk to us about how they got their start in media and how being furloughed due to Covid helped them start a podcast. We also chat about how we all need that one "FBI" friend and why Natasha cancelled her wedding (it wasn't due to the pandemic btw). Lauren and Jess talk mental health and how lockdown part 2 is taking a different toll.

You heard it here first folks! We have the Vagina Coach (yes you read that right) on to tell you all about your body and we guarantee you are going to learn a thing or two. Certified Fitness professional, women's health educator, published author, speaker, entrepreneur and mama, Kim Vopni joins us to talk about the importance of pelvic floor health. This is a topic rarely discussed but is one of the most important factors in women's physical health and wellness, especially for pre and post child birth. We are blown away by how much we didn't know or understand about our own bodies and how little attention pelvic floor health gets in the medical field. Kim breaks down many misconceptions i.e. how you're actually supposed to do Kegels (we promise you're doing it wrong). We get into the whole "bounce back body" obsession and how other cultures respect and honour new mothers through the practice of "Mother Roasting," something our society really needs to adopt. Kim gives us the info we didn't know we needed and we love her for it. To our pregnant friends and fam, scrap the baby shower and ask for appointments with a pelvic floor coach. You can thank us later, you're welcome!

We are talking dating in or after your thirties with the fantastic Marie Nicola, one half of the Alt.Pop.Repeat podcast and previous guest of the show. Being single or dating post 30 often gets a lot of shade and is just another thing to add to the list of reasons women feel shame for. Well the shame stops here, because first off no one should feel shame about their dating or relationship status and second, Marie brings some new perspectives and shares her experiences about dating in and after her 30's that just may shine a new light on dating. Marie talks to us about toxic relationships, not feeling worthy, fear of starting over and how one day that all changed and so did her outlook on life and dating. She also shares some hilarious first (and last) date stories! We talk about "Blue Monday," and January being a tough month for mental health, nevermind layering lockdowns on top of it. We give some binge-worthy reco's and Jess brings a (not so) hot take on how great the Marvel movie's franchise is. To our beloved listeners, if you ever need someone to talk to about anything at all, please don't hesitate to reach out, we all need a little help sometimes and we are here for you.

We are heading into this new year with positivity, optimism and more orgasms, cus who doesn't want more orgasms right!? We are making 2021 the year of the 'O' and you should too! To help us kick it off we are joined by the amazing Dr. Shari Caplan, she is the Medical Director and Founder of VitalityMD, an integrative medical lifestyle centre that specializes in women's sexual health and overall wellness. Dr. Caplan is here to help us understand our hormones, libido and that orgasms and good sex don't have to end after babies or menopause.

Happy Holidays everyone! We are so glad 2020 is almost over and are taking the positive and optimist route going into 2021! For our last episode of the year we opted to go non-traditional. So to close out 2020 we are venturing out of our territory and into the world of UFO's and extra-terrestrial life. Joined by UFO enthusiast and past guest, the ultra interesting and intelligent, Chrissy Newton, co-host of Alt.Pop.Repeat. podcast. We scratch the surface on the topic of UFO's, the phenomena that so many have witnessed but reluctantly talk about, government cover-ups and why interest in UFO's and ET life in mainstream media is starting to pick up steam. Lauren and Chrissy also share their UFO experiences. Take your tinfoil hats off for this one folks and open your mind to different perspectives because, "the truth is out there." Wishing everyone a merry and bright end to 2020 as well as a huge thanks to all our listeners, guests and partners for their continued support of the show. Talk to you next year!

We are flipping the script on what the majority of society still follows today! Joined by the incredible Leigh Montavon, holistic sex and relationship coach who specializes in working with queer, non-monogamous and kinky clients. We chat about different relationship styles and changing the proverbial script about sex, relationships and love that society has given us. We deep dive into polyamory, why a sex coach can help and that you do have a choice in what relationships you do or don't want. Leigh is also a writer, speaker, parent, and co-host of the podcast Queers Next Door, another great resource for advice and information. Plus, we share a funny story about our girls xmas dinner and how Jess is NOT good under pressure.

On this episode we are talking cannabis, weed, grass, Mary-J, green...whatever you call, it we are deep diving on puffing the piff (or eating it) during parenthood. We are joined by Keira Fae, the founder of the very popular and informative site cannabisandparenthood.com. Keira started her cannabis and parenthood journey over 5 years ago after she became pregnant and felt there was little to no information provided on the topic; so she decided to build a resource for parents to learn more about the cannabis plant and how its use can apply it to all aspects of parenthood. Keira is extremely well researched on cannabis use in pregnancy and parenthood and has been breaking down and sharing her learnings so other parents can make informed decisions on cannabis use that is right for them. If you are a cannabis user and a parent or becoming one, this is the episode for you! We also discuss our borderline unhealthy obsession with Schitt's Creek and the cast and announce our HERfestive giveaway!
