Are You Listening EPISODE 2 - Dear Justin Trudeau

Mel and Breagh are dedicating this week’s podcast to Bell let’s talk day for January 31st 2018. 

It’s not just about raising awareness or removing stigma it’s also about providing resources in safe and accessible environments. 

To start Mel and Breagh share 5 of their own everyday coping mechanisms. 

They will also explore a past networking opportunity that occurred despite mental health struggles. 

Mélodie will share a very personal but uplifting story that ends hopefully happily. 

Breagh has an artistic surprise, so listen until the end!

Are You Listening EPISODE 4 - Laugh Therapy

Melodie and Breagh have gotten their feet wet, but it’s time to jump in the deep end.  On this weeks podcast the cohosts discuss an array of both thought provoking to light hearted topics.  They dare to dream of a world featuring a consent culture and contemplate what it might look like; shifting gears from the current rape culture that we all know a little too well. 
 
Following the theme of the Bell Let’s Talk initiative and a debriefing of the hard come down we both experienced following the date.  The empowering aspiring girl bosses offer alternative healthy strategies they find works for them in battling winter blues, before engaging in a brief recap of their new years thus far.
