The housing market has been nothing short of a hot mess lately and many potential buyers feel they may be shut out completely. Mai Kadeer from Loans Canada has some advice. Mai is dedicated to sharing educational pieces that makes financial knowledge and debt management accessible to all, especially for millennials and Gen Z. She joins me to discuss the current housing market and some options for potential buyers looking to get into their own home.

Tanya Hayles is an award-winning creative, who has built movements through her online global village of almost 30,000 at Black Moms Connection, she makes DEI work real and relatable through her firm Color In White Spaces and she is thought leader on Black motherhood, recently doing a TedxToronto talk on the very subject. She joins me today to discuss the good, bad, and ugly of social media.

It’s a bit of a slow week in entertainment but leave it to Anne Brodie to pull out the gems for us including Fire of Love which tells the story of husband and wife volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft whose love couldn't have been more Shakespearan. From one form of nature to another, Sharkfest is back for its 10th season, and our collective obsession with sharks continues, and finally Ethan Hawke has a six part documentary called The Last Movie Stars which takes a close look at Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

Travelling Solo as a woman can be scary, which is why Carolyn Ray is joining me for this show to help you tackle your fears and do a little “groundtruthing” in a destination. Carolyn just returned from 4 months in Mexico and shares what she learned while on the ground there.

The squeeze continues at the grocery store and most Canadians are looking for creative ways to feed the family while not breaking the bank. Andrea Buckett is known for sharing practical cooking tips and kitchen prowess along with easy recipes with dynamite flavour to help combat mealtime boredom. She is here today to share some of her best tips.

Finally, with heat temperatures being set around the globe right now, I thought it might be a good time to re-air an interview with Tara McKenna from The Zero Waste Collective. Tara’s book DON’T BE TRASHY, takes readers through reducing your waste month by month, which includes a No Buy Month, an #OutfitRepeater Month devoted to developing a sustainable capsule wardrobe, and a month devoted to decluttering and minimalism at home.
