I was honoured to join a thoughtful and deeply engaging panel to explore how service providers and communities can respond with courage, care, and collective action/end.

In an era marked by increasing division, misinformation, and mistrust, it is more important than ever to reflect on how polarization erodes social cohesion, civic engagement, and emotional wellbeing. /3

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Dixie Bloor Neighbourhood Centre for the opportunity to speak on the pressing issue of polarization and its mental and emotional impacts on our communities./2

I was made to feel that if the "work" didn't make a profit, it wasn't worth it. That, on top of being a new mom and navigating life's challenges, made me lose the joy in something I truly loved.
So I took a step back. I rested. I found my clarity.
Now, I see things clearly.

to a wonderful listener who sent in a powerful poem he wrote for his daughter when she was going through a tough time. His words perfectly capture the spirit of the episode, and I was so honoured to share them. Have a listen—it may speak to you too!/2
