A Deep Dive into the Texas Heartbeat Act
In this episode, I revisit the conversation on abortion, specifically in the United States, given the implementation of the Texas Heartbeat Act, otherwise known as the abortion ban in the State of Texas. In this deep dive I am prioritizing a fact-based discussion, and ask that the audience try to suspend feelings of anger and anguish, in an effort to promote a productive dialogue. This is challenging, and I can understand that, but if we are led exclusively by anger and raw emotion, we are not able to effectively address the issue at hand, nor prioritize those impacted by...

Blogging, Motherhood & Abortion as Self-Care/Love with guest host Taryn Spence
I invited my friend and previous guest, Taryn Spence, to join me on the podcast once again. This time we opted for a non-structured open discussion and let our interests guide us. We begin by catching up with Taryn about her new blog on Medium.com, one of the creative outlets she is pursuing. We also discuss some of the struggles and triumphs of parenting small children, and finish up with an open discussion about Taryn's decision to seek an abortion for the primary reason that it was the best choice for her body and her life, right now...

Being over-sensational is hurting your cause
In this episode I focus on the recent appearance of content on social media that is over sensationalizing the current residential school burial ground investigations. I discuss where I've seen this content, and the process of my own waves of emotion associated with it. I offer my opinion on how this content affects public opinion on this very emotional issue, and the way it gaslights individuals over social media.

While there is much work to be done with respect to supporting women and girls, I argue that there is similarly a lot of work ahead of us in getting at the true meaning of gender equality, including recognizing that gender goes beyond the binary.
