I didn't know how I'd make a difference at the time, but I knew I would find something I cared about that would benefit from a purpose driven face-lift.Coming to prison as a first-time offender was unnerving, and I felt so much anxiety at first. If you think its hard on the outside to eat a healthy diet, being in prison brings that challenge to the next level. I think most people I shared my time with would attest to the fact that food is often a way to combat anxiety and depression. Maintaining a healthy balance is difficult, and when this poses a challenge to your self image it just makes an already depressing situation worse, like adding insult to injury. It was only a month or so in when I noticed that some of the women were making their own popcorn recipes with the ingredients possible within the food budget. I was instantly struck by how really smart and creative it was. Popcorn was like this simple blank canvas for women of all backgrounds to express themselves through different mixes of spices and other flavours.A lot of people love popcorn, and it is cheap to buy and goes a long way. It's also so much healthier than baked goods and most of the junk food that was available in the canteen. It is one of those snacks you can eat a lot of when you feel restless and bored and not feel super guilty about it. It's also a social snack. You usually make a giant bowl of it for you and your friends to share over some conversation, games or watching something on TV. You can also just eat one kernel at a time, the bowl can last for hours, and you do not have to worry about gaining weight. Well…not as much!So it all sort of all came together at once: I would start a popcorn company that uses quality ingredients and offers unique flavour, some inspired by the very ones we made inside prison. Most of all, one that attempts to remove some of the stigma associated with having a prior conviction, and one that has fun and a sense of humour about itself. The company can give offenders the opportunity and confidence to gain and maintain pro-social employment, keeping the community safer by helping ex-cons refrain from returning to their old ways. It just seemed like all the stars had aligned and overnight it became my mission to build this company. Comeback Snacks - made with conviction!Note: Our company used to be called Cons & Kernels, so you may see it referenced in some of the materials below and out there on the internet!

Carol's artistic focus is the rendering of a contemporary landscape: modern in its simplified, barren approach.

However, as a self-taught artist she transformed her career into artistic endeavours and began painting professionally over 15 years ago becoming a full-time artist in 2003. Prior to becoming a painter, she worked prolifically in graphite medium, winning many awards for her work since 1983. Carol's work can be found in numerous Private and Corporate Collections throughout North America.Her work has been exhibited in the Art Gallery of Sudbury, The Temiskaming Gallery, and the Museum of Northern History in Kirkland Lake.Stuart Leggett and Carol Currie started their collaboration as artists in 2000 as CLAUSTRO.Their work has been exhibited in many group shows such as the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition, The One of a Kind Show, The Toronto Art Expo, The La Cloche Country Art Show, Willisville Mountain Project, and the McMichael Gallery Fall Art Exhibition.Their collaborative works are a part of the public collection of Arcturus Gallery, and Fogler Rubinoff LLPFor more from Carol, please visit her website: https://www.claustro.ca/carol --As always, thanks so much for tuning into Breaking Brave!

In 2017 Luan Lawrenson-Woods was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was absolutely devastated to learn she needed a mastectomy. She had no idea about the different types of reconstruction and didn't know anyone who'd had a reconstruction.As a result, Luan created a community that supports and empowers women who want to know more about reconstruction after a mastectomy so that they can feel confident in their choices."Hearing about reconstruction options gave me hope that I could be 'me' again, and in 2019 I had a DIEP flap reconstruction when tissue was taken from my tummy to reconstruct my breast."Deciding what reconstruction is right for you can be overwhelming, the medical terminology can be confusing and just plain scary. And lonely. But you're not alone.Luan talks with leading surgeons about all aspects of reconstruction, including the latest techniques that they're developing to help improve women's quality of life after a mastectomy. As well as healthcare professionals who can help with practical advice to support mental, physical and emotional wellbeing after reconstruction.Luan also talks to the wonderful women who generously and bravely share their stories to help inspire and raises awareness of life after breast cancer and reconstruction. Helping women make a holistic, informed decision that's right for them so that they can have a say in how they re-write their story after breast cancer and reconstruction is Luan's mission.

A suicide in your social circle can be jarring. When suicidal ideation hits closer to home, it can change your world.It happened to TERRY STUART. A senior partner at Deloitte Canada, he had experienced his own challenges with anxiety and depression, but nothing prepared him for the realization that someone he loved was considering ending their life.Contemplating the traditional, pharmaceutical approach to mental health treatment, Terry came to realize that one thing that had worked for him and others he'd known, was music. Whether it was anxiety or depression, music was always something Terry could use to change his mood and he became convinced that music had the ability heal. Determined to advance that belief, Terry teamed up with musician, friend, and neighbour Rob Carli, an award-winning Canadian film and television composer, to start the Awesome Music Project, a charitable foundation focused on leveraging the healing power of music to address mental wellness and mental health challenges.For more from Terry, please connect via: The Awesome Music Project website: https://www.theawesomemusicproject.com/about-ampPurchase tickets for The Awesome Music Project's even 'Stories, Songs, & Science' on June 21st at the El Mocambo in Toronto here: https://www.theawesomemusicproject.com/events/stories-songs-amp-science-a-salute-to-frankie Purchase the [phenomenally inspiring!] Awesome Music Project Canada's book of stories here: https://www.amazon.ca/Awesome-Music-Project-Canada-Happiness/dp/1989025293--As always, thanks so much for tuning into Breaking Brave!

Mat Bowtell is the founder and CEO of Free 3D Hands, an Australian charity that designs and 3D prints hands and assistive devices. The hands are provided for free, to children and adults all around the world and they even pay the postage! Mat freely shares his designs under an open-source licence so others can make and repair their own devices and to encourage further innovation. Mat's goal is to significantly bring down the cost of assistive technology to help those who currently cannot access or afford it. Mat was working as an engineer for Toyota in Australia and Japan before being made redundant in 2017 when the automotive industry shut down. He had made one hand, for one kid, with one 3D printer whilst he was still employed. This grew to two printers on the dining table, then six in the spare room! It was not long after his final day at work that Mat was named the Australian of the Year – Vic Local Hero for 2018 and he then knew what he was going to do with his future. Mat and his very understanding wife Yuka worked for two years as volunteers, living off his redundancy payout, to design and 3D print hands for kids. He relocated with his family to his hometown of Phillip Island and was working out of a single car garage. In 2019 the opportunity arose to lease a factory and through generous support Mat was able to establish Free 3D Hands as registered charity in Australia. He has now made hundreds of hands and assistive devices for people all around the world. In October 2020 he released his new Kinetic Hand design under an open source licence and to date it has been downloaded over 4000* times! There are over a billion people in the world who require some form of assistive technology and this number is set to double by 2030*. Currently only 1 in 10* people have access to the products they need. Mat believes that by openly sharing technology and ideas and by collaborating with others, more people will be able to access or afford the technology they need.To learn more about Free 3D Hands, please visit: https://free3dhands.org/--As always, thanks so much for tuning into Breaking Brave!

They have been married for 34 years and running.With the tools and ability to heal her own traumatic past, coming out of all that she did so with a strong healthy family nucleus, and three socially aware, empathetic, compassionate human beings, she began to write about her struggles, and victories, for Huffington Post. Through this opportunity, she was tapped to begin writing about her parenting journey for another online magazine, Zoomer. In addition to Shantelle's guest hosting gigs on CBC's The Goods, as well as weekly on-air parenting expert panels for other local Canadian news outlets.After sharing so much of her story with major news outlets and witnessing how handheld devices, and social media were creating such disconnect and distraction in parenting, and relationships; Shantelle's series of books were born; Without Losing Your Cool. From Raising kids Without Losing Your Cool to Parenting Your Teen Without Losing Your Cool, and now Loving Yourself without Losing Your Cool, as well as her series of journals. Shantelle's mission is to help you with the steps you need to create the life you want.From Shantelle herself: I've been digging deep, uncovering the best parts of myself for as long as I can remember. I did the f*#king work and broke the cycle of alcoholism that coursed through my veins, I overcame years of bulimia and shame, and healed from all the sexual abuse I endured.I've overcome everything that was "meant to destroy" me and I'm still standing and actually living a life of Grace And Joy. My mission is to inspire you to find your inner rock star, and your ability to forgive yourself when you fuck up. I want you to know that losing your cool doesn't mean "it's over" there are ways up and out of your darkness, whatever that darkness is...the sun always rises.For more from Shantelle, or connect with her directly, please visit: https://shantellebisson.com/--As always, thanks so much for tuning into Breaking Brave!

Andrea Dalzell is a phenomenal and passionate Registered Nurse, a highly active Healthcare Advocate, Disability Rights Influencer, and most importantly, a strong Survivor!Andrea Dalzell was born and raised in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn, New York. At the early age of five, Andrea was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, an inflammation of the spinal cord that causes pain, muscle weakness and paralysis. She was using a wheelchair full-time by age 12. Although this diagnosis was very critical, Andrea let absolutely nothing get in the way of being all that she could be.Andrea received her degree from the City University of New York, College of Staten Island, however, due to societal flaws, life after graduation for Andrea was only the beginning of a long disappointing journey of trying to convince hospital staff that she could handle the job duties of being a nurse in a wheelchair. Andrea was crowned Ms. Wheelchair New York 2015, and utilized her title and platform: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Access, to promote her message and belief that people with disabilities can live a fulfilling life.While diligently trying to secure a position in a hospital, Dalzell worked as the health director, case manager, and an in-school nurse to make ends meet, however, she continued to interview in pursuit of her goal of becoming a Registered Nurse.After 76 interviews, Andrea Dalzell was finally given the opportunity to prove herself and was hired as the first Registered Nurse in a wheelchair in New York state.As the first registered nurse in a wheelchair in New York state; these days Andrea Dalzell is still getting lots of attention for her role tending to coronavirus patients in New York City, the epicenter of the pandemic. Ms. Dalzell has been ultimately respected most for her influence and healthcare advocacy for the rights of those with disabilities throughout her journey. As an advocate and activist, she's has been recognized in the spotlight over the years including being named New Mobility's Person of the Year (2021), Craig H. Neilsen Visionary Prize Winner, an ambassadorship with Urbane Scrubs, and features in United Spinal, HomeCare Magazine, Apple's iWatch campaign, The Mighty/Yahoo, Forbes and also Nurse Blake.For more from Andrea, get in touch via: Her website: https://www.theseatednurse.com/Social Media: @theseatednurse --This episode of Breaking Brave is brought to you by:SOULSNACKS!

From broken bones and shredded muscle to Olympic glory… Silken's story is one of courage, perseverance and the triumph of the human spirit.In May 1992, just 10 weeks before the Olympic Games, Silken Laumann was injured in a brutal rowing accident that left her right leg shattered and useless.

Today's episode features an in-depth conversation on a wide range of topics with Award-winning Actress, Writer, Director & Author, KATIE BOLAND. Chosen by Elle Canada as one of the three Canadians to watch, as an actress she has more than 80 credits to her name. A multiple award winner, she's won a Canadian Screen Award, was a TIFF Rising Star, a Birks Diamond Woman In Film, named Best Emerging Actress by the Toronto Film Screen and one of Playbacks Ten To Watch.

Also an author, Boland's collection of short stories, Eat Your Heart Out was chosen by the Globe and Mail as one of three hot summer reads, “Actress-turned-writer Katie Boland is a notable new voice in Canadian fiction...a vibrant collection, populated by well-drawn characters who are broken but bursting with life. Reminiscent of Hemingway's sharp minimalism, paired with Kerouac's verve, Eat Your Heart Out tackles being alive in the here and now, with sterling writing and stellar voices. Boland is a bold new old-soul.” Boland's directorial debut, short film Lolz-Ita, that she wrote and starred in, had it's North American premiere at the Austin Film Festival and was nominated for Best Narrative Short. It was also a part of TIFF's Short Cuts: Share Her Journey, which highlights the “most exciting emerging female film makers in the world” as well as the Whistler Film Festival where it was nominated for the EDA Short Film Award which recognizes female film makers. It was nominated for jury prizes at the Dallas International Film Festival and Cucalorus. It was also chosen as Short Of the Week, who said, “Boland portrays the title character with commendable subtlety, fleshing out the confusion of the young woman compellingly. It's a complicated duality to inhabit... Her performance has the power to make or break the film, and Boland wows.” Most recently, it was chosen as a Vimeo Staff Pick. Boland is currently in post production on a new short Twins and she directed, wrote and starred in the pilot ReFrame for Refinery 29 x Kate Spade. Boland was the youngest person chosen by Canadian Heritage Minister Melanie Joly to be on a panel of cultural experts who helped steer a sweeping review of cultural policies.

Author Daniel Kalla produces engrossing novels with an intensity that matches the challenge of his other role as an ER physician at a major downtown teaching hospital. His medical thrillers focus on themes that lie at the heart of his professional life, delving into topics as diverse as pandemics, superbugs, addiction, DNA evidence and patient abuse. His most recent trilogy – The Far Side Of The Sky, Rising Sun Falling Shadow and Nightfall Over Shanghai – tells a little-known but amazing historical chapter of the Second World War, when 20,000 Jews fled Germany to find shelter in only one city: Shanghai, “The Paris of the East”. In his latest novel, Lost Immunity, Daniel tackles the issue of vaccine hesitancy and the potential impact on a global outbreak, applying his real-life experience working on the frontlines through the COVID pandemic.--This episode of Breaking Brave is brought to you by:SOULSNACKS!

This episode of Breaking Brave is so special, we are re-airing it in case you missed it. Dr. Edmund Metatawabin is a First Nations Chief and Elder, Cree writer, Author, educator, and activist. Edmund was awarded the Order of Canada for his advocacy on behalf of residential-school survivors. He is a survivor of St. Anne's Residential School, in Fort Albany, Ontario where he and his fellow students experienced physical, psychological, and sexual abuse at the hands of school administrators. He documented his experiences in his 2014 book, Up Ghost River: A Chief's Journey Through the Turbulent Waters of Native History available here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/227773/up-ghost-river-by-edmund-metatawabin--with-alexandra-shimo/ (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/227773/up-ghost-river-by-edmund-metatawabin--with-alexandra-shimo/) In 1992, Edmund organized a conference for other survivors of St. Anne's Residential School so that they could share their stories. He took their accounts to the police, spurring a criminal investigation that culminated in the convictions of five former staff. Edmund has devoted himself to righting the wrongs of the past, and educating First Nations youth on traditional knowledge. Edmund was the first born of eleven siblings. His father lived on the land, and was a natural resource harvester. Edmund was working on his Master's Degree in Environmental Studies at York University when he was called home to run for Chief. For eight years, he held that position; concentrating on economic development and education. He has adopted the motto “For Those That Are Not Yet Born” in his research and writing to honour the First Nation heritage on Turtle Island. His 2014 memoir Up Ghost River: A Chief's Journey Through the Turbulent Waters of Native History was a shortlisted nominee for the Governor General's Award for English-language non-fiction at the 2014 Governor General's Awards. His publications also include: Hanaway (2004) and Harvesting: Cree Hunting and Gathering Techniques (2008). In 2010, he was part of the Our Story Advisory Committee for the Canadian Aboriginal Writing Challenge, run by the Historica-Dominion Institute. Toward the end of the episode, you'll hear directly from Edmund's nephew, Terry Metatawabin, Edmund's grandson, Braiden Metatawabin, and his partner Daanis McDonald. You'll also hear a song performed by Edmund's son Shannin Metatawabin. You can watch his performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOQoy0vsA0s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOQoy0vsA0s) If you're listening to this episode somewhere that you find yourself able, try to stand when the song begins for its duration. We'd like to offer our most heartfelt, deepest thanks to Edmund Metatawabin and his family for their unmatched bravery, generosity, and openness in trusting us enough to share their stories, experiences, wisdom and deeply profound insight on Breaking Brave. We understand the gravity of this trust and appreciate it beyond what words can describe. Our hope for this episode is an echo of Edmund's hope: That you listen and share the truth with the people in your life. That you pass on what you learn to your children, your family, and your community so that all future generations can know and understand the truth and history of Canada's enduring, genocidal, and horrific treatment of our First Nations people. Thank you for listening. -- As always, thanks so much for tuning into Breaking Brave!
