Janette's TV Podcast

On this Janette’s TV Podcast episode, I sit down with Rose Barroso, luxury real estate developer, serial entrepreneur, and author of Indestructible: Transforming Survival into Success.
From a broken home and shaped by abuse and trauma, Rose refused to let her past define her future. Born in Portugal and raised in Toronto, she built a powerful career in male-dominated industries—while balancing leadership, femininity, motherhood, and marriage.
In this raw and inspiring conversation, Rose opens up about:
• Turning trauma into strength
• Succeeding in male-dominated industries
• Balancing feminine and masculine energy
• The challenges and rewards of being a high-powered mogul, wife, and mother
• Why healing is a leadership skill
This episode is a must-watch for women ready to rise, reclaim their power, and redefine success on their own terms.

Grief doesn’t always look quiet. And it doesn’t always heal neatly.
In this Janette’s TV Podcast episode, on the red carpet at VFF, Janette talks with actor, producer, and writer Travis Jeffery to discuss his powerful short film, Dusty—a raw exploration of the negative, often unspoken side of grief and how loss can show up in unexpected, destructive ways.
Travis opens up about storytelling as a form of truth-telling, the responsibility of portraying emotional pain honestly, and why Dusty challenges audiences to sit with discomfort instead of rushing toward resolution.
This conversation is about loss, masculinity, vulnerability, and the courage to confront what we’d rather avoid.
