LaundryTok, Living Life Unfiltered, Bait & Switch, and More

The link between social media and depression, anxiety, body image issues, and sadly, suicide is undeniable. That’s why my first guest Keisha Simpson, along with her sister Teagan created the #AsSheIs challenge. Since 2019 the campaign has spread to 60 countries and has had a potential reach exceeding well over 100 million. Today Keisha joins me to share some ways that we and our kids can push back and use social media, instead of it using us. Anne Brodie had me in tears this week with the trailers for the new three part Beatles documentary series on Disney+ called The Beatles: Get Back. If you’re a Beatles fan, you won’t want to miss the never before seen footage of Paul, John, Ringo, and George. Plus she shares deets on the new TVO doc on Elwy Yost, and the unexpected and dramatic The Humans in theatres now. At 85 years old, my next guest is a role model for us all. Dr. Sally Palmer is tireless and has been an astounding 45 year track record of volunteering in her community. and joins me to discuss the importance of getting involved in your community. A social justice advocate, an Indigenous ally, and founder of the Good Food Box program which provides fresh produce to low-income Ontarians, Dr. Palmer joins me to share what volunteering has given to her and more importantly what it can give to us. Melissa Pateras started to share her laundry tips and tricks on tiktok, partly as a joke, but it quickly turned into a wildly popular account as people everywhere started to follow laundrytok faithfully. Melissa joins me to share her journey on TikTok which includes pulling the love of her life out of the dryer. Finally we close out this weeks show chatting with Melanie Durrant. Fresh off her hit single “Bait & Switch”, Melanie has released the brand-new video for her single “One In A Million” and joins me to share the inspiration behind the song before we play it for you in its entirety.
