You know your body better than anyone else. So, when it comes to your health, you’re the best person to communicate your health needs. The problem is that when you are sick and dealing with a serious health issue it can be incredibly overwhelming to be the one to call the shots when it comes to your health. 

In this podcast Catrina and Janette share their experiences navigating the world of health care in Canada. They get real about what it takes to get the support you need and provide some of their personal tips on how to be your own health advocate. 

Key learnings shared today: 
1. Walk into your appointment with a specific goal. Just as you’d show up to a job interview primed to discuss your resumé and career objectives, you should arrive at medical appointments armed with your health history and goals. 

2. Keep track of all health history. From vaccines to surgeries, pharmaceutical recommendations and tests approved or denied - keeping a folder with all of your health history in one place is super valuable to health practitioners, especially if you are seeing more than one. 

3. Know your rights and exercise them. You have the right to a second opinion! Every province and territory has laws around patient rights, which you can find on your government’s website.

4. Bring someone with you. Wing-people aren’t just for the bar scene. Sometimes it is hard to advocate for yourself, especially when sick. A support person can help take notes on what the doctor is saying as well as help explain your symptoms.

Move over for a sec PSL's, autumn anxiety is in the house.

Are you feeling some anxiety around the changing of seasons? 

You're not alone. It turns out that many of us struggle with pre-autumn anxiety. Perhaps it's because the summer "fun" is coming to an end, maybe it's because you are returning to school or a more consistent schedule or it's because you are anticipating the darkness and cooler weather that's around the corner. 

Either way, we dive into tools and practices you can deploy to make this autumn lighter and brighter, plus give you some insight to Janette's wedding and what we've been up to this summer.

In today's episode, we are joined by the lovely Chantée Dardaine, a Registered Psychotherapist and a Professional Member with the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association. 

We cover a lot. Including: 

• How you can stay grounded, sane and emotionally safe when it feels like the world is in turmoil
• What trauma is and how you can start healing from it; starting with your expectations around what healing is and the capacity that you have to do it, and how you know that you are on the right path
• How you can become better at emotional regulation in a healthy, even when it's hard to understand your feelings (or when you are disassociating)
• What boundaries are and how we can have them

This conversation was enlightening; Chantée has a way of making big, complicated things make sense. Give it a listen and share with someone you know who might be struggling.

In today's episode, Catrina and her partner, Alysha, discuss what Pride Month means to them, how they met and fell in love, the struggles they have experienced with homophobia and discrimination—including a conversation around misgendering (how it often happens and what to do if you misgender someone), why it's important to have gender neutral washrooms/spaces and advice they would give to folks struggling with their identity/sexuality.

Both Alysha and Catrina recognize their privilege as two  queer white women living in Canada.
 
This conversation illustrates just two perspectives on the queer experience; please continue to educate yourself through following queer (especially trans folks) and BIPOC folks on social media.

TW: homophobia, discrimination

Have you ever noticed a direct connection between your mental state and the health of your skin? Or your diet and your skin?

Our skin is often an outward clue to what is happening in our body and has a cyclical effect; our wellbeing impacts our skin and our skin impacts our wellbeing. The pain, anxiety, insecurity and frustration that comes with changes to our skin can be really damaging to our mental health and our mental health can impact the changes that we see on our skin.

This episode provides insight on how our inner workings (hormones, stress, lifestyle) can show up on our skin and what we can do to address it. Although this conversation is geared towards folks with ovaries, the tips discussed can be applied to any and all individuals.

We cover a lot of ground today: the classic Vancouver crow attacks, the energy change from winter to spring and how we can harness it, how to start spring cleaning in a manageable way (and how this can actually help your mental health), our own cleanliness tendencies (and some living situations with others who weren't as clean), and some healthy cleaning hacks that you may not have considered before.
