Metastatic breast cancer or mBC for short, remains an incurable disease in need of further research and support. Dr. Mita Manna is a medical oncologist at the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency and joins me now to share information all women need to hear.

Canadian singer-songwriter Jessica Pearson and her band were recently trapped on a plane for 10 hours in 115 km winds. At the request of the captain, crew, and passengers they were asked to play music to help keep spirits up. Everyone on the plane has a great time, but social media is a cruel place and video of the event went viral with a false narrative that saw Jessica being viciously attacked. Oh we’re setting the story straight on this one.

Anne Brodie is in with new entertainment, and we take a look at The Quiet Girl which features a superbly nuanced performance from 11 year old Catherine Clinch, we also look at The Confessions of Frannie Langton and new drama mystery series set in 1825 that pushes the envelope in its depictions of society, the British slave trade, and its resounding impact then and now.

Brogan Ingram has amassed a whopping 5.2 million followers on TikTok sharing transformative cleanings she performs for people in need. Brogan has become a leading voice in exploring the correlation between mental health and cleanliness, and joins me today to share what inspires her to help so many.

Paulette Senior, CEO of the Canadian Women’s Foundation joins me to discuss the unique discrimination and systemic barriers that impact Black women and girls in Canada.

And finally Jennifer Slay stops in to chat to about Women LEAD, a community created with the intention of becoming a source of support for women in all areas of leadership. Jen shares details on upcoming workshops, including one being held on March 6, and how this community helps women navigate changing circumstances.
