What She Said!

Canada’s health care system is in crisis, particularly when it comes to nursing. The Registered Practical Nurses Association of Ontario (WeRPN), representing the voices of over 55,000 registered practical nurses (RPNs), is raising the alarm after a new survey has found patient care is being critically compromised due to staffing shortages and the standardization of unsafe workloads. Dianne Martin, CEO of WeRPN joins me to discuss.

When’s the last time you had a self-worth check up? Jennifer John from the Sacred Space thinks this is is a check up we should do as routinely as we see our family doctor or therapist. A great way to stop self-sabotaging and move yourself out of a rut, a self-worth check up is easy to do and well worth the reward. Jennifer shares how in today’s interview.

Anne Brodie is here with entertainment, and you will absolutely not want to miss Ron Howard’s Thirteen Lives that takes us inside the harrowing story of thirteen soccer players and their coach trapped underground in a cave in Thailand in 2018 and the incredible rescue that followed. Plus she has Prey on Disney+ which is the origin story for Predator, and the formulaic but charming Wedding Season on Netflix.

Grandparents in 2022 are not your regular grandparents, they’re cool grandparents. Kathy Buckworth has moved from parenting expert to grand parenting expert with her show Go To Grandma that explores different aspects of being a modern grandparent from respecting your kids’ way of parenting to finding yourself once you have an empty nest.

If there is one thing the pandemic has made crystal clear to people is that life is too short to be in a job you’re not happy at. How do you know when you should choose your mental health over you job? Roxanne Francis is here to help. A trained psychotherapist with more than 12 years of experience in the mental health field, Roxanne joins me to discuss what you should be looking for.

Finally, Anne Brodie closes out the show with an interview with renowned and beloved British actorJim Broadbent. Broadbent stars in Roger Michell's The Duke, the true - and highly entertaining story of disabled old age pensioner Kempton Bunton who, in 1961, stole Francisco Goya's portrait of The Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London and held it ransom as a political statement. Anne speaks with Broadbent from his home in England.

We all knew it was coming but it didn’t soften the blow any when Roe V Wade was overturned in the US last week. Women across Canada, myself included, turned to social media to voice their concern and support for American women. Social media however is not enough. Our support must be followed by action which is why I asked Samanta Krishnapalli from On Canada Project to join me for today’s show to share what we can do beyond the hashtag.

Anne Brodie is here with entertainment and this week we start with a look at two shows that will appeal to those that picked up gardening and baking during the pandemic. Gardener’s World and The Great British Baking Show will help you hone your skills with real tips you can use. Anne also shares her thoughts on Neptune Frost, an "Afrofuturist sci-fi musical" produced by bad boy Ezra Miller and Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Apples, the feature debut of Greek director Christos Nikou, plus much more over on whatshesaidtalk.com.

Last May, Connie Walker came upon a story about her late father she’d never heard before. One night back in the late 1970s while he was working as an officer in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, he pulled over a suspected drunk driver. He walked up to the vehicle and came face-to-face with a ghost from his past—a residential school priest. From there Connie took a deep dive into her past and has now released, “Stolen: Surviving St. Michaels,” a Spotify Original Podcast Connie that unearths how her family’s story fits into one of Canada’s darkest chapters: the residential school system.

In March of 2020 travel writer Lauren Yakiwchuk found herself at home with a lot of time on her hands and decided to start hiking in Ontario. She then started a website called Ontario Hiking where she hosts quarterly hiking challenges, group hiking trips, and she has amassed a whopping 86,000 members in her Facebook community. Lauren joins me now to share five hiking spots you need to explore in Ontario this summer.

Finally money matters are on everyone’s mind these days, and we are inundated with advice which often makes it even more overwhelming. Stephanie Chabot from the Finance Diaries helps keep things simple for her followers.

If there is one positive that has come about as a result of Roe V Wade in the US, it’s that it’s opened up broader discussions about women’s reproductive health here in Canada. The reality is that 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in their lifetime. Unfortunately many women do not understand the options available to them when it comes to abortion, and more crucially, they don’t always have easy access. Marion Ulmann, General Manager and Director of Linepharma International joins me to discuss recent findings from a Leger survey and what Canadian women need to know about accessing safe abortions in Canada.

You can’t be what you can’t see, which is why I’m so grateful that Farah Nasser joins me this week to discuss her new role as weekend anchor with Global National.

It’s feast or famine in the entertainment industry and this week, it’s definitely feast with so much new in entertainment, we simply can’t get to it all, so be sure to jump on over to whatshesaidtalk.com after today’s episode to catch them all but first listen to Anne Brodie’s thoughts on The Man from Toronto starring Woody Harrelson and Kevin Hart, Official Competition with Antonio Banderas, and Penelope Cruz, plus you won’t want to miss Endangered from Ronan Farrow on HBO that takes a closer look at anti-journalistic sentiment from both governments and citizens, in nations where freedom of the press was once taken for granted.

Would be travellers are a lot more mindful of their environmental impact and after two years to think about it they are looking to do things differently.

Dr. Susanne Etti, Global Environmental Impact Manager of Intrepid Travel joins me to discuss what it looks like to be BCorp travel provider, how they are continuously looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, and why travel can help local economies without harming it.

Finally a little positivity to close the show this week. Ana Pac is here to share her new single Bite the Rainbow, empowering song about shattering the boxes societal norms put us in.

Before a recent visit to Miami, I had expectations of fast cars, hard bodies, and high fashion, it felt like a style over substance destination to me and to be honest it carried a bit of a intimidation factor as well. But while style is definitely front and centre in Miami, it’s loaded with substance too. Greater Miami is rich in culture, experiences, and nature. I knew I wasn’t the only one surprised to find so much to see and do in MIami, so I invited two of the travel writers I spent the week with in MIami to help me break it down. Karen Doradea has a job we’d all kill for. As the restaurant reviewer for The Daily Hive, Karen spends her time testing the best restaurants in Toronto and around the globe. Rosie Fitzgerald,  is the special features editor at the award-winning travel magazine Wanderlust in the United Kingdom. She is also co-host with Lyn Hughes of Wanderlust’s Off the Page podcast. Over the next half hour, we break down what surprised us in Miami, what we loved the most, and hatched a plan for a reunion. If you’re planning a trip to Miami, pack away your preconceived notions for this podcast and be sure to take note of the incredible things to see and do in Greater Miami.

It’s Father’s Day Weekend, and it’s a good time to not only let your Dad know how much you love him, but to check in on his mental health. According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada, 75% of all suicides are men and 66% of men believe that mental health is worse than it has ever been. Bryan Baeumler, HGTV celebrity and Dad, was a guest speaker this week at the 5th Father’s Day on the Hill which aims to raise awareness about men’s mental health. Bryan joins me to discuss his own struggles with mental health and why it’s so important that we bring this conversation into the light.

Catherine saw an opportunity for us to all do better with black plastic takeout containers which most municipalities don’t recycle. Catherine joins me to share how her business works and how you can get involved through your business.

Radio is having a bit of a metoo moment after Jennifer Valentyne’s recent revelations about her experience. That moment of bravery opened the door for others to share their stories including my guest Laura Mainella, a dynamic, controversial, and opinionated voice in daytime radio.

We’re half way through our one year masterclass on moving out of a rut and Jennifer John from The Sacred Space Coaching is here to help us identify ways to empower ourselves so that we can effectively move on for good from self-sabotaging behaviour. Jennifer shares some classic ways we self-sabotage but also how to nix those old habits with a few simple shifts.

Who had Monkeypox on their 2022 bingo card? It’s another health concern that seems to be growing so I reached out to Dr. Dina Kulik who is always a calm and measured voice. Dr. Dina shares the symptoms we should be on the lookout for, what to do if we suspect Monkeypox, and how to protect ourselves.

As always Anne Brodie is here with entertainment and this week we take a look the new Netflix documentary Halftime about Jennifer Lopez, the incredible Martin Freeman in the Responder available on BritBox now, and the emotional thriller Madeline Collins available in select theatres now which takes an eerie look at deception.

Kegel or kegel. It’s possible I butchered that word in my interview with The Vagina Coach herself, Kim Vopni. No matter how you say it, all women know what it is, but do you know the importance of doing them. As we approach World Continence Week, Kim joins me today to discuss the importance of kegels and of keeping ourselves informed because we do not have to deal with incontinence just because we’re getting older.

Dr. Prachi Srivastava who has been joining me for the past six months to discuss the state of education in Ontario, joins me to share what we’re likely looking at now that Doug Ford’s Conservative Government will be leading the way for the next four years.

Finally your search for your next great beach read is over. Author Nancy Mauro joins me to discuss her latest book The Sugar Thief, about a secret pastry recipe that turns a family upside down.
