Become Empowered in Your Health Care Choices with Susan Salenger

Join Susan and Katana as they discuss:

• Tips for managing your health.
• Ways to become better informed about your health.
• How to become your own healthcare advocate.

Susan Salenger is the author and researcher behind Sidelined, How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health. Sidelined examines the many ways in which some women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare. (Release date, April, 2022)

Susan explores how women, typically the medical gatekeepers for their families, tend to be extremely conscientious about taking care of themselves, yet at the same time inadvertently undermine their own care. They often hesitate to call the doctor when they don’t feel well and worry that their doctor visit will take time away from their families or work. They may hesitate to ask doctors the necessary questions and don’t always comply with the doctor’s instructions. Her research reveals how conflicted many women are about the medical decisions they ultimately make.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Susan attended UCLA to study English. After graduation, she worked alongside her husband Fred for 25 years at their production company, Salenger Films, which produced corporate training and development films distributed worldwide. Today, at age 80, Susan lives in Northern California to be near her incredible family which includes her two daughters, four grandchildren, a cat named Max and a dog named JD (Salenger). When she is not speaking about her book or spending time with family and friends, you will find Susan power lifting to stay in shape.

Yes, You Can Have Fun Decluttering with Chantal Rouleau

Join Chantal and Katana as they discuss:

• Where and how to start the decluttering process.
• The ways our emotions play an important role in the decluttering process and how to handle them.
• Strategies to help overcome the sense of overwhelm and frustration while decluttering.

Family time was everything when Chantal Rouleau was growing up with a typically French-Canadian family in Montreal, Quebec. Due to life circumstances, Chantal had to move often. Chantal attended nine different schools by the end of high school, so from an early age, she had to learn not to get too attached to her things. Because her family moved so many times, it was just easier to have less. Although she loves beautiful things, those experiences made her realize at a very young age that things don’t make you happy, PEOPLE do!
