As summer sizzles on, we at What She Said are readying ourselves for a little downtime. But not before delivering a show that will warm your hearts as much as the summer sun itself. Today, we explore stories and insights that range from changing societal perceptions about aging to unearthing local tourism’s unexplored potential.
Our first guest today is the inspiring Katie Mahoney, co-founder of ‘We Are Young,’ a charitable organization that works diligently to grant seniors’ unfulfilled wishes. Together with her partner, Cara Chisholm, Katie helps rewrite the societal narrative about aging and fosters a beautiful connection between generations. Through their incredible work, we can all begin to view age not as a limitation, but as a testimony to life lived and experiences gathered.
Then, we turn our attention to the pleasures of staycations with Sarah Laturnus from Ottawa Tourism. As fellow Ottawa natives, we’re beyond excited to uncover the many treasures our city holds. Ottawa is more than just a political hub; it’s a vibrant, diverse locale brimming with arts, culture, and history that many often overlook.
Next, we dive into one of the most turbulent weeks in the entertainment industry, as narrated by Anne Brodie. From the unfolding writers’ and actors’ strike that shows signs of a lengthy dispute, to the launch of summer blockbusters Oppenheimer and Barbie, Anne delivers all the thrilling updates that movie buffs and TV fanatics would love.
We also take you on a nostalgic journey with Erica Ehm as she discusses the birth of MuchMusic and it’s cultural impact on our generation. Being at the heart of the phenomenon, Erica offers a unique perspective on the new documentary “299 Queen St. W“.
We then shift gears to a pressing health issue affecting millions of Canadians – diabetes. Dr. Christine Palmay enlightens us on the latest developments in managing this condition, particularly focusing on GLP-1 Receptor Agonists. Her insights underline the importance of staying updated on healthcare advancements, reminding us that a better quality of life is indeed attainable for those living with diabetes.
Finally, we take you on a virtual trip to Surrey, BC. Ange Chew from Discover Surrey is joining us to share all the local gems that make Surrey a must-visit destination.
So, whether you’re lounging at home or taking a break from work, tune into this week’s episode of What She Said for a dose of inspiration, nostalgia, and insights that will truly make your day. And as we prepare to trade our microphones and scripts for sunhats and margaritas, we wish you all a refreshing summer break filled with joy, relaxation, and plenty of sunny memories.
See you after the break!
