How can generations rise together, hand in hand? And how do we dismantle the myths that say age limits opportunity? To every woman who has carried seasons of triumph and trial—this episode is for you. You are not on the sidelines of life; you are at the height of it. Every wrinkle tells a story, every scar a victory, every lesson a gift. Your wisdom is a torch—lighting the way for those who come after you, while reminding us that true leadership only deepens with time. Tonight, we honour the women who inspire across generations, who prove that brilliance doesn’t fade, it intensifies.
On this episode:
A day after the Federal budget we’re discussing the unfair taxation of solo seniors. We’ll uncover the hidden tax challenges facing solo seniors, who are typically women, since women live longer than men. When a spouse passes, taxes don’t just stay the same—they often jump. Single filers face different brackets and miss out on credits and deductions joint filers enjoy. This means solo seniors often pay more, even with similar incomes. Also, when a spouse passes, they can pass their RRSP/RRIF assets to a spouse tax free. A single senior’s assets can be taxed as high as 50%.
On this episode:
Welcome to Planet Positive Practices! Why reuse and recycle? Because every item saved protects our planet’s resources, cuts pollution and also saves on our budget. When getting rid of old devices, are you worried about the data? We’ll find out how to wipe personal information before recycling to stay safe. We’ll also discuss where to take electronics to dispose of them and balance new technology with less e-waste. This means repairing, reusing, and making smart upgrades—so tomorrow’s innovations won’t cost the Earth or your wallet. Let’s make every action count!
On this episode:
Did you know protein isn’t just for your muscles—it’s fuel for your mental energy, focus, and mood, especially for women with ADHD and those navigating midlife? Eating late or sleeping poorly? That scrambles your hormones, zaps your energy, and leaves you feeling off-balance the next day. The foods you chose every day shape your brain’s power to plan, prioritize, and actually follow through. This is the executive function few ever talk about. And when motivation disappears overnight, it’s no mystery—your brain chemistry has shifted.
On this episode:
Do you think that AI or artificial intelligence is going to help you do your job or is it going to replace you? Should you be afraid, and if so what exactly should you be afraid of? My guest wrote a book to warn professionals about the unimaginable destruction of the white collar class and share her concerns about the future for our kids. More importantly, she found a new land of opportunity that no one’s talking about – yet. Her book is a masterclass for those looking to build what comes next in their careers when it comes to artificial intelligence.
On this episode:
In a world where imposter syndrome often tries to put down those who rise above, the question emerges – what if instead of trimming brilliance, we actually celebrated it? And what if women used that awareness not to stay small but to support and uplift each other with intention? Especially in the spaces where representation is hardest won – in the male dominated industries? And what does it mean to stand tall without apology? This is not about asking women to rise quietly, it’s about asking women to rise together. Because every tall poppy deserves to grow in the full light of possibility.
On this episode:
When you’ve worked in a c-Suite role or professional capacity throughout your career, where do you go from there? What is your next phase before full on retirement? Most women don’t retire. They get themselves on boards. So why do we need more women on boards and how do we get more women on boards? What qualification and work experience do boards really require? To find out the answers to all of my questions, Elizabeth is joined by Michele Ashby, CEO and Founder of ACE LLC., who is training women to get board certified in order to get more women into board positions.
On this episode:
Have you ever looked around and wondered if you really belong. That quiet voice that whispers “what if they find out that I’m not good enough?” It’s actually called imposter syndrome and almost all of us have felt its sting. But what if we could silence that voice, take back our confidence and steer our destiny with unapologetic power? Today we’ll discuss the struggles that too often go unspoken. From breaking free of negativity and how to handle the constant chorus of critics to the exhaustion and overwhelm that so many women face when the weight of everything is on their shoulders.
On this episode:
What holds women back from stepping fully into their power? Tonight we’re tackling the silent saboteur, shame. Shame, and the ways it fuels imposter syndrome and the temptation to blend in rather than stand out. And here’s the ultimate question – if you had four hours left to live, how would you spend them? Tonight’s show is a call to courage. We’re diving deep into overcoming shame, defying self doubt and unlocking the freedom to live your best, most unapologetic life. Get ready to be inspired, challenged and empowered because your time is now and your story is worth telling.
