A new episode of the pod is out! We’re joined by @erinelofson, President of @Mastercard in Canada, for a conversation about real leadership. From bouncing back after setbacks to balancing the unseen demands women face, Erin shares candid lessons.⬇️ thehonesttalk.ca/podcasts/erin-…
Leadership isn’t easy – it’s often about taking on a challenge. @Mastercard’s Sasha Krstic shares how challenges fueled her growth and why women need supportive spaces to thrive. thehonesttalk.ca/honest-thought…
Courtney Spiak never planned on pregnancy at 43. But when life rewrote her story, she discovered what she didn’t have in her 30s: strength, wisdom, and a deeper perspective.
Catherine McKenna’s (@cathmckenna) new book, Run Like a Girl, isn’t your typical political memoir. From soccer fields to climate negotiations, she shares lessons on resilience, solidarity, and staying hopeful even when the work is hard.
The cybersecurity field can often feel isolating for underrepresented groups. But here’s the thing: their perspectives are exactly what Canada needs to tackle the next wave of AI-driven cyber threats. @Mastercard
Sometimes it takes a life-changing event to make us rethink everything – our boundaries, our priorities, even how we see ourselves. New today on The Honest Talk ⬇️
She’s shaped national conversations behind the scenes & in the House of Commons. Now, @MelissaLantsman joins The Honest Talk podcast to share her path to politics, leadership lessons & who she is beyond the headlines. Listen here ⬇️
September can feel like a second New Year, but your reset doesn’t need pricey classes or punishing goals. Psychotherapist Christine Harrison says it’s about returning to the basics: eating, sleeping, moving – and giving yourself permission to slow down. thehonesttalk.ca/life/the-septe…
When it comes to investing in ourselves, it's no secret that women often wrestle with guilt. We call it indulgent, selfish, irresponsible. But sometimes, it's exactly what we need to come back stronger. thehonesttalk.ca/honest-thought…
September is for fresh starts – and that can mean stepping into top jobs. From tights that don’t rip (@SheertexLabs) to global finance (@Mastercard ), leaders like Sophie Boulanger, @Ailish_Campbell & Mary Falconer are shaping what’s next.
We are thrilled to announce that Canada’s Ambassador to the United States, @KirstenHillmanA, will receive the 2025 The Honest Talk Leadership Award, in recognition of her exceptional contributions to advancing gender equality and empowering women. Congratulations, Ambassador!
What happens when you go from “plus-one” to “party of one”? Too often, single women are quietly left off the dinner party list – a reminder that the “Couples Club” still exists. New from @Dianne_Rinehart on The Honest Talk! thehonesttalk.ca/honest-thought…
Leadership isn’t about comfort – it’s about showing up, breaking barriers, and creating change. Lieutenant-General Lise Bourgon has done all of that and more in her groundbreaking career with the @CanadianForces. Check out our full podcast interview: thehonesttalk.ca/podcasts/lieut…
“I’ve been in this body for 30 years… shouldn’t I understand it by now?” Today, our editor shares how she realized her own health still feels like a mystery – and connects it to a much bigger issue: the lack of tools and education women are given when it comes to their bodies.
Rapid growth is exciting – but it can be a financial minefield. In our Q&A, Rebecca Pang, Regional VP at @RBC, shares how founders can navigate cash flow challenges, use debt strategically & avoid the missteps that stall growth. thehonesttalk.ca/impact/strateg…
This month, we’re rounding up the things our team can’t stop raving about, from the everyday essentials to the unexpected delights we didn’t know we needed. ⬇️ thehonesttalk.ca/life/what-our-…
As summer starts to wind down, our very own Jennifer Stewart is reflecting on how the smallest family traditions can truly leave the biggest imprint. thehonesttalk.ca/honest-thought…
If leading through change feels heavier than it “should,” you’re not failing – you’re grieving. And naming it may be the most strategic step you can take. thehonesttalk.ca/impact/the-bur…
As the debate around hybrid work heats back up in #Ontario, it’s clear the outcome will have ripple effects across the workforce. But, as we’ve covered on The Honest Talk, studies show one group may be especially affected by the decisions ahead: Women. thehonesttalk.ca/impact/hybrid-…
