Generational Parenting, EcoFriendly Toys, LIke a Mother and Broken Vows

If you have ever caught yourself repeating the exact things to your child that your parents said to you, you’ll appreciate my first interview today with Aly Pain, What She Said’s expert on all things teen related. Aly joins me today to discuss generational parenting patterns and how to perhaps break free of what’s not working for you or your teens. Always the voice of reason, Aly shows up with great advice and insights today. Plastic toys are a major polluter, not to mention they can sometimes pose a health risk. Monika Nowaczyk, is the CEO of Beebee & Bongo a social enterprise that believes in the power of humour and play to create connection. At all stages from design to production, to sales and marketing and beyond,Beebee & Bongo aims for a triple bottom line: people, planet, and profits. Monika joins me to share the story behind the brand. Anne Brodie’s regular segment is not happening this week but only because Anne has an interview with megastars Paul Bettany and Claire Foy who star in Amazon Prime’s A Very British Scandal based on the true story on the Duke & Duchess of Argyll scandal of the 1960s. Never fear though, Anne has her regular round up of new movies and TV series up on whatshesaidtalk.com Julie Cole joins me to share what it was like to write her new book LIke a Mother about her time building Mabels Labels, a multimillion-dollar business with her co-founders between their children’s naptimes and playdates. A constant source of inspiration and raw honesty, Julie is always a delight to have on the show. Divorce is hard, but separation can be harder. Sunnie McFadden knows from first hand experience and set out to produce a documentary about it. Broken Vows i pulls viewers into the lives of the women and children surviving through separation, and asks the question when a marriage ends, where do you begin? Committed to providing help, Sunnie has also produced a six-volume digital “companion resource” to the film, which offers real resources to help women move forward upon separation. She joins me to discuss. Finally, Victoria West used her own life experiences from childhood to present day with descriptions of love, family, loss, grief, disillusionment, immigration and and more to create beauty in words in a collection of poems called Sunset in Toronto available now. Victoria jumps in to share why she decided to pick up poetry when covid shut the world down.
