My first guest is a financial powerhouse making waves in the world of finance and taking a stand against the 'Pink Tax.' Janine Rogan, Founder and CEO of The Wealth Building Academy, is not only empowering women to grow their wealth confidently and profitably but is also educating us about the hidden form of gender inequality that could be affecting our financial health. With her aptly named book, "The Pink Tax," she's here to break down the issue and inspire change.
Next, we have Sara Smeaton, a certified professional coach passionate about empowering women, especially during midlife. She's here to introduce us to the idea of 'Cancer Showers' and how this concept can change our approach to giving and receiving help during challenging times.
Following Sara, we've got our regular movie maven, Anne Brodie, here with your weekend's must-watch list. From Lina Rodriguez's poignant and suspenseful immigration story, "So Much Tenderness," to the high-stakes thriller "Hijack" featuring the iconic Idris Elba, to the revealing documentary on Hollywood heartthrob Rock Hudson, there's something for every cinephile.
And what's a long weekend without some travel inspiration? Marie-Hélène Brisson, Director of Visitor Experience at Parks Canada, joins us to take a virtual tour of Canada's stunning landscapes and hidden gems. Perfect for those of you planning your summer adventures.
A timely discussion follows as we touch upon the recent controversy about the funding of Catholic Schools within the Public System, ignited by the York Catholic District School Board's decision not to fly the Pride Flag. Dr Prachi Srivastava, a tenured Associate Professor at Western University specializing in education and global development, will join us to delve into this.
Lastly, we're exploring the power of movement with physiotherapist Amanda Morin. Drawing from her experience as an athlete and her passion for the human body, Amanda is here to discuss her children’s book, "Move with Nature." It's an invitation to change our approach to exercise, using nature as an inspiration, especially when it comes to our little ones.
