Mental health doesn't exist in isolation. Poverty, housing, employment, identity, education, geography, inequality, race, gender, sexuality, disability, lived experiences, income and more all shape our well-being, how we experience mental health challenges, and our access to care and support.

For women, girls, and gender-diverse people, these challenges can be made worse by gender-based violence, discrimination, stigmas, and systemic barriers. Mental health care should be a right, not a privilege. Everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and empowered to seek help without fear of judgment or discrimination.

Women’s sport in Canada is growing fast, but does that mean women, girls and gender-diverse people now have equal opportunities?

Today, our host Hillary LeBlanc Media is joined by Allison Sandmeyer-Graves, CEO of Canadian Women & Sport / Femmes et sport au Canada and a leading voice for gender equity in sport: https://canadianwomen.org/blog/womens-sport-is-having-a-moment-now-what/

Allison shares how sports shaped her own sense of belonging, confidence and leadership, and why those opportunities still aren’t equally available to every woman, girl and gender-diverse person.

They talk about the systemic barriers built into sport, the growing momentum behind women’s professional leagues, and why real progress requires more than simply getting women, girls, and gender-diverse people through the door.

Together, they explore what it will take to build a more inclusive system and how all of us can play a role in making that change happen.

Representation shapes what we believe is possible.

Kiara Brown, founder of Summer House Stories, shares how Flaunt It Movement gave her access to studio space to meet with clients while also providing something equally important: the opportunity to see women leading, creating, and building businesses.

Having a space where she could show up as an entrepreneur helped Kiara see herself as a leader and continue growing her vision.

Her story reflects the impact of creating environments where entrepreneurs feel supported, valued, and empowered: https://youtu.be/dxYMFAyeApw

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Survivors, their families and communities, and remember the children who never returned home.

Reconciliation takes continuous learning and action in the face of ongoing colonial violence. We all have a responsibility to listen, learn and act on the truths Survivors have shared; not just today, but throughout the year.

Women’s sport is having a moment. 🔥 But what will it take to turn this momentum into lasting change?

Next Wednesday, Allison Sandmeyer-Graves, CEO of Canadian Women & Sport / Femmes et sport au Canada, joins our host Hillary LeBlanc Media on Alright, Now What? to talk about what’s happening - and where we go from here.

🎧 Episode 2 drops next Wednesday. Here’s a sneak peek. 👀

"Thank goodness then for the storytellers. The journalists, the ones who probe, question, irritate the powerful. The ones who sit and listen with the grieving and try to understand those who are furious...

They turn people deluged with information into informed citizens, able to advocate for themselves and to push for change...

There can be no meaningful civil participation without facts, context and questions. Anyone who wants to sow confusion and misery takes away information, silences those who ask questions and denies people the right to know about the world around them. There is an easy way to fight back. Read the news, tell your story, be informed. Be heard." - Meera Selva

Every entrepreneur needs space to create, experiment, and grow.

Amy Tran, founder of Occasionally Prints, shares how Flaunt It Movement provided more than a physical space. It created an environment where she could develop her craft, gain experience, and continue growing as an artist and entrepreneur.

Through community, mentorship, and access to resources, Amy has been able to explore her creativity while building confidence in her entrepreneurial journey.

Her story shows the importance of creating opportunities where emerging entrepreneurs can see their ideas come to life: https://youtu.be/A4hrxmlKDDo
