This week we're talking about LEADERSHIP with Celina Caesar-Chavannes.

The first word that comes to mind when we think of Celina is BADASS - in every sense of the word. A former MP, Celina is an outspoken advocate for equity and inclusion as well as a leadership consultant. During her time in politics, Celina served as parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and advocated for those suffering with mental illness, earning a ton of funding for young people in Canada and consequently being awarded with the Champion of Mental Health Parliamentarian Award in 2017. We sure hope there could be more politicians like Celina! 

After a turbulent exit from the caucus in 2019, Celina was picked as one of Chatelaine Magazine's Women of the Year - a truly incredible feat. Prior to entering the political arena, Celina was a successful entrepreneur, launching and growing an award-winning research management consulting firm, with a particular focus on neurological conditions, winning many entrepreneurial and business-based awards along the way. Celina is furthering her education by pursuing a PhD focused on organizational leadership and hopes to find the link between empathy and leadership. 

Elise and producer, Aleah, sat down with Celina to speak about her time spent working in politics, the mental health struggles she continues to battle, the issues she encountered in Ottawa and what she's up to now, including her incredible new book, Can You Hear Me Now?

This week we're talking about BEING THE BACHELORETTE with Tayshia Adams.

We all know and love Tayshia for her incredible breakout as a contestant on Colton Underwood's season and then more recently as the leading lady on her very own season of The Bachelorette, which ended with her engagement to now-fiancee Zac Clarke. 

Being the show's first biracial lead was no easy task but Tayshia handled it with grace, tackling tough conversations around the BLM movement and staying connected to her heritage. Her recent proposal from fiancee Zac Clarke was declared “one of the best TV scenes of the year” by the Washington Post. 

Elise and producer, Aleah, sat down with Tayshia to catch up on all things Bachelorette: from the standout men on her season, to her fairy tale ending and even dishing on her new gig as co-host alongside Kaitlyn Bristowe!

She is a published author, professional speaker and women's health educator and founded Pelvienne Wellness, a company that offers pelvic health programs, products and coaching for women throughout pregnancy, motherhood and menopause.
