I want to make sure people know the facts.    Right now, if you look at popular media, you might think that the vaccines are safe and reliable.  Sadly, that's not entirely true.     Murry Hellekson decided to get the jab earlier this year.  Shortly thereafter he suffered massive side effects he didn't even know were possible. Now he's doing his best to spread his story and make sure people are making informed decisions.    So please, take a moment to listen to his story.  Reactions like this are more common than you might think. 

One of the hardest but most rewarding jobs in the world is being a mom. I love being a mom.

It changes your perspective and changes your life. My guest this week is local mom, teacher, artist and writer, Leanne DeLeeuw. Leanne's role as a mom motivated her to write her very special book about what she wants her kids to know.

It’s the kind of story that gets any mom emotional because it’s so bang on.

So let's dive in to Leanne's story. Something uplifting to brighten up this week

What does it mean to give kids a proper education?

There are quite a few options out there for families, public school, private school, charter school, and our topic for today, homeschooling. But what are the options for homeschooling? What are the advantages, the concerns?

My guest today is Bobbie Luymes. With over 20 years experience as both a teacher and a homeschool mom, she has the answers to all these questions, with some fun stories along the way. So even if you are just slightly curious about homeschooling you should listen in.

Sometimes we need to take a moment to remember the people who's hard, and selfless work makes surviving these rough days easier.

Today on the show I have two representatives, Jacey Bowie, and Sheryl Luckwell, from the Edson Food Bank. They're here to help get you up to speed on this important part of our community.

So listen in to get all the details, and maybe get inspired for how you can help out too.

Covid mandates are getting out of control.

This isn't a stretch and sadly you can meet many people who have been discriminated against based holy on their stance on covid and the vaccines. I for one, have been hearing a lot of heartbreaking stories.

On This week's episode we're hearing one such story from a friend of mine Pam Van De Spiegle.
Pam has been hesitant to tell her story, but has come to the conclusion that it needs to be told. People need to know that this kind of thing is happening, in Canada, and more often than we would like to think.

In uncertain times like these a lot of people are starting to worry about their finances. 

 Which is completely understandable, money often weighs heavy on our minds at the best of times.  Christine Davis has found her calling in helping relieve that weight. 

Christine is a full time private financial consultant.  It is literally her job to give financial guidance and help you crunch all those intimidating numbers.  Her advice is invaluable. So I decided to have her on the show, so she could break down the best financial tips and tricks for each stage of life. 

I learned so much talking to Chirstine, and I know you will too.

You can't really ignore politics these days.

 

 Not only are we just coming out of election season, but now, seemingly more than ever, our daily lives are feeling the effects of political decisions.  In the midst of all this we can't lose sight of our local communities, and what we can do to make our voices known.  

 

Glen Carrit knows how to make the right kind of noise.  He knows what it's like to live, and run a business in a small town, and he knows what he wants to stand up for.  So let's jump into his story, as we get a little political here on The Carla Rand Show.

It takes a special kind of calling to work your whole life in healthcare.

Finding the balance between give and take, and having the desire to really go beyond with the people you work with. It all takes a kind of drive unique to the profession.

Marsha Haggart has worked in healthcare for a long time. It went from a job she could never see herself in, to a passion she couldn't live without.
