Arlene Is Alone

Kendall Gender—drag queen, Canada's Drag Race star, and founder of The Kendall Gender Foundation—joins Arlene for a conversation about true allyship, acceptance, and the fear her community lives with every day. Kendall opens up about finding community in drag, growing up with a family that supported her, and why she believes we should focus on what we have in common instead of what divides us. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, what real allyship looks like, and why our shared humanity matters more than our differences.

Morgan Hoffman, entertainment reporter for Global's The Morning Show, joins Arlene for a deeply personal conversation. Morgan opens up about freezing her eggs at 40 while single—the hope, the science, and the questions nobody prepares you for. She also talks about navigating depression behind the scenes of a glamorous career and shares her experience being stalked, a reality that fundamentally changed how she lives her life. This is Morgan stepping away from the red carpet to get real about the hard stuff that doesn't make headlines.

Brent Butt, creator and star of Corner Gas, joins Arlene for a conversation about finding his voice in comedy. Brent shares where he first discovered his passion for making people laugh, how his family reacted when he told them he wanted to pursue comedy, and why humor matters most when we're navigating dark times. Plus, stories about growing up in a small Saskatchewan town where there were more Butts than you'd expect. This is Brent Butt—funny, thoughtful, and as authentic as they come.

David Suzuki joins Arlene the day before his 90th birthday for a profound conversation about the lessons his father taught him, how his grandchildren reignited his wonder, capitalism's impact on the environment, and what six decades of environmental advocacy has taught him about hope, resilience, and what really matters.

Brock McGillis, the first openly gay professional hockey player, joins Arlene for a powerful conversation about living authentically and creating real impact. Brock opens up about navigating pro hockey while hiding his identity, the three-year relationship he kept private before coming out, and why he stopped caring about the opinions of people who refuse to understand. He also shares how his advocacy work has saved thousands of lives and what it means to live with purpose—focusing on societal impact over approval. This is a conversation about truth, resilience, and using your story to change the world.

Emmy-nominated actress Lauren Holly (Picket Fences, NCIS, Dumb and Dumber) joins Arlene for an intimate conversation about finding the courage to fail, navigating life as an empath, and what her relationship with Jim Carrey taught her—they're still friends to this day. Lauren also shares why she chose to distance herself from certain Hollywood circles, including refusing to attend events with Donald Trump. This is a conversation about resilience, boundaries, and defining success on your own terms.
