Episodes
In this episode, Kate Grosvenor and I sit down and talk about the crazy world of perimenopause and menopause. What is it? How do we mitigate the impacts? Why is NO ONE talking about it? And why aren't doctors educated on it?

In this episode, I sit down with Elaine Fancy, photographer and philosopher, and discuss life, meaning and the truth behind the camera. You aren't going to want to miss this conversation. Just WAIT until you see the cover of my book!!!

In this episode, Arlene and I sit down and discuss Canada and the US, the Chinese stance in the new world order and her favourite movie.
Get your popcorn out
In this episode, I sit down with Jagmeet Singh, leader of the Federal NDP Party of Canada, and ask him some hard driving political questions - all coming from my Grade 8 class. I personally loved how he handled the Messi question.
BE SURE TO VOTE!!!!
In this episode, I speak with 'Shameless Elle' - a tiktok star who made an impact with lip syncs but has repurposed her fame to focus on becoming politically education AND helping others do the same.

Want to talk politics? We got ya
In this episode, I sit down a give a politics lesson directly out of my notebook - the indicators and limitations of democracy. Maybe if we start here we will be able to have conversations that lead us down better roads than we are currently travelling.
The first lesson is free...but the next will cost ya.
In this episode, Leigh McGowan (I am Politics Girl), sit down and deconstruct the current US political and constitutional crisis. It just figures it would take two Canadian women to fix this situation...you should have called us earlier.
Don't worry, we have all the answers...

In this episode, I reflect on where the US is politically, economically, and socially - this isn't a new 'yellow brick road', this is just further on down the line towards the wizard. PS - there is a reason the road is paved with gold.
I wonder who the wizard will be?
In this episode, I have the incredible privilege and, let's be honest, horse shoe carrying buckets of luck, to sit down with the Canadian artist - Amanda Marshall.
We talk about music, the business, politics and how she will dedicate her next single to me. (ok, maybe not that last one).
So, sit down, put on Tuesday's Child softly, and spend the next hour being inspired by one of Canada's greatest...
In this episode, I have the honour of sitting down with Arlene Dickenson, where we discuss being a women, being an entrepreneur, and being single. How much power can one woman wield? You are about to find out.
Check out 'Arlene is Alone' - coming on Youtube February 14 (PS - I get to make a guest appearance on an upcoming episode)
In this episode, I have the absolute privilege to sit down with none other than Cordelia Chase!!! We get down to our 'childhood trauma', the uselessness of 'tact' and how sometimes 'we get the pieces'.
If you understand all of those quotes...welcome to the Buffy the Vampire Superhero Club.
In this episode, Marit Stiles (Leader of Ontario's NDP) and I take a tour of Queen's Park, discuss foundational ideas for Ontario, talk about federal politics, debate changes that need to be made, try to break into the chamber floor and discovered where they keep the best snacks for the government.
In this episode, I have the great pleasure to sit down with 'Mr Global', aka Matt, as he is know all over social media to discuss the energy needs, wants and must have across the USA. I'm going to get to the bottom of the over used tag line 'drill baby drill'.
In this episode, I speak to Jenna Sudds, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development of Canada. Together, we discuss the dynamics of creating a national food program for all Canadian students. I promise to ask ALL the tough questions to see just how effective this will be.
In this episode, I address the complete and utter lack of focus on women and women's health care - primarily focused on menopause. It is about time WE take control of our bodies, our lives and our futures.
And I am going to bring you with me along the journey of finding the right health care providers to educate and fight for our health.
In this episode, I face the horrific social media reality in the wake of the infamous 'your body, my choice' threat. In the dark basements of some incel, a man is plotting his next threat and possible attack. It's not free speech...it's criminal.
In this episode, I discuss, debate and rant about the impending presidential election. Who do you think will win? And what will be the consequence?
In this episode, I dress up as Frankenstein (I know it's the monster, but he will always be Frankenstein to me) and Ana puts on her best Bride for our annual Halloween Party. That's not the point of the podcast though. I paint my nails black for the character - and the severe gender dysphoria I have over painted nails, which I enjoy doing, is incredibly weird. So, as anything that makes me uncomfortable I immediately d...
Home ownership blows.
In this episode, I attempt to answer a couple of age old teaching questions. One, what are the most vital things we are meant to teach? Two, when a student doesn't meet expectations what consequences will make them change their course?
