As COVID-19 sweeps the globe it is a distressing time. We feel stressed about what is happening, how fast things are changing and the unknowns of what is to come. As we are asked or forced to socially isolate, work from home and educate our children, we are left to wonder… how? So we thought we would ask an expert for some advice, homeschooling mom Kristin Paterson.

We are hearing from so many parents that they don’t know what to do. Kristin is a homeschooling mom of 4 and shares advice for adjusting to being at home, tips for success, overcoming boredom, as well as tools and resources to support your children’s education. Relevant advice for today and to help us all lower our anxiety!

What does it take to be named a 2019 Woman of the Year by Chatelaine? Well, for Jenn Harper, it was years of 80+ hour workweeks and a lot of learning and personal development. Jenn is an Anishinaabe woman and the founder of Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics – a made in Canada, cruelty-free make up brand that supports education funding for First Nations youth.
In this conversation with Myrrhanda, Jenn shares about her journey with alcohol, losing her brother to suicide, and the tremendous effort required to build a successful social enterprise. Much of her motivation is rooted in a desire to educate Canadians on the legacy of residential schools and the path to reconciliation - and Jenn shares how we can all play a role in that.
You’re going to love this engaging conversation on entrepreneurship, sustainability, recovery, reconciliation and hope.

When you think of a truck driver you most likely picture a man. And that’s fair, because the vast majority of truck drivers in Canada are men - about 97%. In this interview we speak to a woman who wants to tackle those assumptions and shift that number to see more women embrace a career in the driver’s seat. Shelley Uvanile-Hesch is CEO of the Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada - a non-profit organization established in 2014 to encourage the employment of women in the Transportation Industry. Shelley is a passionate advocate who has worked for 30 years in the industry, including 20 years in a Big Truck.
She is no stranger to obstacles, pushback, challenges, and even tragic accidents. You WILL be inspired and learn something new in this interview so take a listen!
