Canada’s health care system is in crisis, particularly when it comes to nursing. The Registered Practical Nurses Association of Ontario (WeRPN), representing the voices of over 55,000 registered practical nurses (RPNs), is raising the alarm after a new survey has found patient care is being critically compromised due to staffing shortages and the standardization of unsafe workloads. Dianne Martin, CEO of WeRPN joins me to discuss.

When’s the last time you had a self-worth check up? Jennifer John from the Sacred Space thinks this is is a check up we should do as routinely as we see our family doctor or therapist. A great way to stop self-sabotaging and move yourself out of a rut, a self-worth check up is easy to do and well worth the reward. Jennifer shares how in today’s interview.

Anne Brodie is here with entertainment, and you will absolutely not want to miss Ron Howard’s Thirteen Lives that takes us inside the harrowing story of thirteen soccer players and their coach trapped underground in a cave in Thailand in 2018 and the incredible rescue that followed. Plus she has Prey on Disney+ which is the origin story for Predator, and the formulaic but charming Wedding Season on Netflix.

Grandparents in 2022 are not your regular grandparents, they’re cool grandparents. Kathy Buckworth has moved from parenting expert to grand parenting expert with her show Go To Grandma that explores different aspects of being a modern grandparent from respecting your kids’ way of parenting to finding yourself once you have an empty nest.

If there is one thing the pandemic has made crystal clear to people is that life is too short to be in a job you’re not happy at. How do you know when you should choose your mental health over you job? Roxanne Francis is here to help. A trained psychotherapist with more than 12 years of experience in the mental health field, Roxanne joins me to discuss what you should be looking for.

Finally, Anne Brodie closes out the show with an interview with renowned and beloved British actorJim Broadbent. Broadbent stars in Roger Michell's The Duke, the true - and highly entertaining story of disabled old age pensioner Kempton Bunton who, in 1961, stole Francisco Goya's portrait of The Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London and held it ransom as a political statement. Anne speaks with Broadbent from his home in England.
