Late at night, in a quiet house, friendship comes into focus. Not the movie version of perfect brunches and four archetypes, but the real thing that takes energy to sustain and too often slips away in midlife.In this episode of Let's Talk with Coach Che Marville (a Top 10 Midlife Podcast in Canada), Che unpacks the “friendship recession” among women in midlife and the way perimenopause, stress, and loneliness amplify each other. She reflects on her mother's model of community, the research showing that friendship is a form of medicine, and the small rituals that help rebuild connections.This is a conversation about women, friendship, community, mental health, resilience and why we can't navigate midlife alone.Perimenopause is a time when hormones change inside the body—stress and loneliness intensify symptoms.Women with strong friendships are less likely to experience severe symptoms.Friendship is medicine, not a luxury.Social churn is natural: half our friends change every seven years.Continuity and a supportive circle matter most in midlife.Ageism and cultural shame add weight to this transition.Small rituals, such as calls, walks, and tea nights, keep friendships alive.Self-advocacy with doctors is a matter of survival, not selfishness.Midlife isn't a cliff it can be a bridge.Friendship Is Medicine: Midlife and PerimenopauseNavigating the Friendship Recession in Midlife Women00:00 – Perimenopause Without the Brochure08:15 – Why Friendship Slips Away15:32 – Stress × Loneliness × Symptoms22:45 – My Mother's Model of Community30:10 – Rebuilding Connection

In this episode of Let's Talk, Coach Che sits down with financial expert Michael Yazny, known as the Financial Fixer, to explore the real relationship between money, resilience, and reinvention in midlife.Money stress feels heavier at this stage of life: careers shift, family responsibilities pile up, and the need to “get it right” intensifies. Michael brings three decades of experience in financing, factoring, and entrepreneurship, sharing why so many women stop after hearing “no,” how to find options beyond the bank, and why underpricing is the slow path to burnout.This isn't just about dollars and cents  it's about value, courage, and the belief that starting over is still possible.Banks are lenders, not partners; knowing alternatives is a matter of survival.Women entrepreneurs often face unique hurdles, but doors exist beyond the first rejection.Pricing with confidence is oxygen; underpricing suffocates a business.Midlife wisdom is a valuable asset; experience helps navigate financial storms.A support team (lawyer, accountant, broker/consultant) protects your business and your family.Professional advice costs less than recovering from mistakes.Reinvention in midlife demands self-trust, resilience starts with belief.Gratitude and relationships matter: ask respectfully, and people will often help.If this conversation sparked something in you, don't stop here:Grab Michael Yazny's book So You Want to Start Your Own Business for practical steps to grow and protect your business.Subscribe to Let's Talk with Coach Che for more bold conversations on wellness, reinvention, and the courage to begin again.Share this episode with someone in midlife who's building, rebuilding, or reimagining their next chapter.Let's Talk,Che

Dear Friends, Before we hear from Ovid himself, we sit down with his wife of more than sixty years, Verona Jackson. Together, they've carried over a century of lived experience rooted in love, service, and resilience.In this preview, Aunt Verona recalls the day she got the call: just months after arriving in Canada, Ovid had suffered an industrial accident and lost his eye. What could have ended their dreams became instead another turning point, met with the steadiness and resolve that defined their generation.Her memory sets the stage for Ovid's reflections: a life shaped not by setbacks, but by the quiet decision to keep moving forward.

Dear Friends,You've likely never heard of him, but you should. Now in his mid-80s, former mayor and Member of Parliament Ovid Jackson looks back on a life that carried him from the banks of the Berbice River in Guyana to the front lines of history, including standing at the end of apartheid and witnessing South Africa's first free vote. Patience. Courage. Hope told by someone who was there.

What does it take to serve with humility, break barriers, and represent your country on the world stage all while living with a disability?In this episode, we meet Ovid Jackson: born on the banks of Berbice, Guyana, a top student invited to England in 1958, a national basketball player for Guyana, and later an immigrant to Canada who lost his right eye just months after arriving.Instead of stepping back, Ovid stepped up, becoming Owen Sound's first Black mayor, the first Liberal in a century to win Bruce–Grey, and representing Canada as an election monitor in South Africa during Nelson Mandela's 1994 victory and in Palestine. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Walkerton during its water crisis and chaired critical airport security talks after 9/11.Ovid shares the philosophy that guided him: “I see people as people. We waste too much energy being at odds with each other.” He reflects on a lifetime of leadership without ego. This is more than one man's story; it's a portrait of the Canada we've been, and the Canada we can be again.#OvidJackson #QuietWarrior #CanadianHistory #OrderOfCanada #BlackHistoryCanada #PublicService #LeadershipWithoutEgo #CanadaPolitics #OwenSound #BruceGrey #CommunityBuilder #SouthAfrica1994 #ElectionMonitor #WalkertonWaterCrisis #Post911Security #DiversityInLeadership #InspiringCanadians #CanadianPodcast #CanadianStories #LeadershipMatters

Claim Your Brain: When Crisis Becomes a CallingA soulful conversation with Jocelyn Pepe for Women's PulseA few weeks ago, I had the honour of sitting down with author, mental health researcher, and wellness strategist Jocelyn Pepe on Let's Talk. Today, I'm thrilled to share the video of that conversation because this one deserves to be seen and heard.Jocelyn's story is one of grace under fire, of using adversity as raw material for transformation. Years ago, we sat at a conference together, talking about dreams, fear, and the desire to create meaningful change. She told me then:“I want to write a book that helps people understand they can heal and to remind them that they are not beyond repair. That their mind is powerful.”And now, she's done precisely that.Her book, Claim Your Brain, is not just a workbook; it's a reset for real people living real lives. It's for those of us who are quietly holding everything together while silently falling apart.In our conversation, Jocelyn shares the pivotal moment that changed everything: a traumatic brain injury that shattered the illusion of “doing it all” and forced her into radical self-awareness, emotional honesty, and deep nervous system healing.We talked about:Why anxiety and burnout are often symptoms of suppressed needsHow motherhood, loss, and perimenopause shaped her healingHer unique TrU Model of mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual wellnessAnd why the world needs more tools, and less shame when it comes to mental healthWhat struck me most was how Jocelyn turned her pain into purpose. And not just a purpose but a movement. There's a program coming out of the book, not just for adults, but for children, too.And to be a small part of that journey? It's one of the great privileges of my work.

Dear friends,This week on Let's Talk, I sat down with global changemaker Hugh Lawson for one of the most revealing, soul-deep conversations I've ever had about leadership, race, emotional intelligence, and what it means to reimagine your purpose and legacy in a system that was never built to see you.This week's episode is Let's Talk at its boldest, a fearless dive into leadership, race, and the power of vulnerability.My guest is Hugh Lawson, a global leadership strategist, former football player, and founder of Lawson Leadership Advisory. But more than that, Hugh is a deeply reflective, wise, and radically emotionally intelligent.Together, we talked about:Why emotional intelligence is more important than IQ in 2025What it means to be a Black man leading with heart in a world that expects controlHow code-switching, silence, and perception cost us more than we realizeWhy are so many men silently lonely, isolated, and exhausted, and don't know how to ask for helpThe dark chapter that broke Hugh open and led him to complete reinventionWhat Canada gets wrong about immigration, entrepreneurship, and inclusion and how it's squandering world-class talentHe also dropped this truth bomb that hit me like thunder:“Here, I'm tolerated. Over there, I'm celebrated.”This episode is for anyone navigating reinvention, feeling unseen, or ready to lead in a new way.With heart,Coach Che MarvilleHost, Let's Talk

Let's stop asking the wrong questions.Recently, Steven Bartlett, host of The Diary of a CEO, asked, "Has feminism created lonely, broken men?" But that's not the conversation we need to be having. The problem isn't feminism. The problem is that we've built a society that devalues care, connection, and community.Feminism did what it was supposed to do. It opened doors. It demanded choice. But it was never designed to fix everything. And now, in 2025, we're suffering from a deeper failure, one that affects everyone, not just men or women: we are lonely, disconnected, and spiritually unwell.We have inherited a system that values productivity over presence. A society that measures success by what you earn, not how you live. In this system, care work, especially parenting, is seen as a burden, not a contribution. But here's the truth: nothing in this world matters more than the people we raise and the relationships we cultivate.I reject the idea that raising a child is a "pause" in your career. It's not a break. It's the work of building a future. And no one should have to do it alone.When Stephen Bartlett was asked if he'd take three years off to raise a child, he said no. And no one pushed back. But that's not even the right question. The better question is: How do we build a life where raising children, building businesses, and being in community coexist?This is not about feminism going too far. This is about capitalism not going far enough to include care, healing, and relationships as pillars of a functioning society.We keep reinforcing the myth of independence, forgetting the sacred power of interdependence. And in doing so, we raise individuals, not families.It's time to talk about love again, and not the romanticized version. I'm talking about the messy, vulnerable, essential kind of love that builds families, sustains communities, and makes us truly human.Let's teach it. Let's practice it. Let's rebuild our systems around it.Because the loneliness epidemic isn't a trend. It's the spiritual wound of our time.And it's time to heal it together.Let's Keep This Conversation GoingIf this resonated with you, I invite you to:✅ Subscribe to my YouTube channel for weekly talks on leadership, reinvention, and human well-being.

He reflects on how racial dynamics shaped his path, how his Haitian heritage fuels his pride, and why surrendering to God helped him navigate war zones, personal trials, and parenting challenges.This is not just a story about service, it's about becoming whole in the face of adversity. It's about showing up for your child when they need you, not your wallet. And it's about remembering that love isn't weakness; it's a strategy.The human side of military leadership — why compassion matters on and off the battlefield.How Cultural Heritage Can Anchor Identity in Moments of Uncertainty.Why open communication and presence are the greatest gifts we can offer as parents.How soldiers confront PTSD and emotional wounds that medals can't mend.What it means to surrender, not to give up, but to rise stronger."Love is the key to creating peace.""She needed my presence, not my presents.""You have a plan, but the enemy has a plan.""Caring is part of loving.""Success is where I was and what I have become."00:00 – Opening: A New Kind of Military Story 01:42 – Patrick's Journey Into Service 09:11 – Haitian Pride & Cultural Identity 13:20 – Race, Reality, and Rising Above 15:01 – Leadership Without Complacency 18:27 – Lessons From the Front Lines 23:12 – Building Bonds in Broken Places 25:38 – Leading With Love 30:05 – Spirituality as Strength 40:10 – Parenting With Presence 46:19 – Redemption: Lessons From the Prodigal Son 54:32 – PTSD and the Quiet Battles Soldiers FaceIf you're navigating service, loss, leadership, or simply trying to love better, this conversation is your call to pause, reflect, and rise.

Why do we keep giving the mic to provocateurs, only to ask the same tired questions? In this episode, Coach Che Marville challenges the mainstream narrative surrounding a controversial interview between Piers Morgan and Lilly Gaddis, a self-proclaimed defender of white grievance and free speech.But Che isn't here to debate who can say what word. She's asking something deeper.

On Monday, May 5th, Coach Che reflected on the political, cultural, and spiritual crossroads Canada faces following the election of its 24th Prime Minister, Mark Carney. As he meets with U.S. President Donald Trump, Che asks: Who are we now, and what are we becoming?Che explores Canada's growing polarization, algorithm-fueled rage, and how American-style culture wars are bleeding into our national identity. She confronts hard truths: the ongoing impact of the pandemic, rising loneliness and anxiety, the erosion of trust, and the performative nature of DEI efforts.But this isn't just a critique, it's a call. A call for pluralism, collaboration, innovation, and healing. Che reminds us that diversity is complexity and complexity builds innovation. We must expand the table, bridge divides, and reimagine a Canada rooted not in fear, but in shared possibility.Key Takeaways:Canada is in a “collective nervous breakdown” post-pandemic.Social media and politics are manufacturing divisions, especially along racial and ideological lines.True inclusion means expanding opportunity, not just checking boxes.We need new models for innovation rooted in disagreement, difference, and shared purpose.The future of Canada must be built by “makers, builders, and dreamers” from the center and the margins.“We're not just living in a new world. We are the new world. Let's not accept division as our directionIf this conversation stirred something in you, don't scroll past it. Share this episode with someone who's asking the same questions.

In this moving episode of Let's Talk, host Coach Che facilitates a raw and honest conversation between Indigenous Advocate and Canada's Ultimate Challenge Finalist Courtney Copoc-Hopkins and her father, Matt Thorpe, Entrepreneur and Conflict Resolution Coach, exploring their remarkable journey from estrangement to forgiveness. The story begins with a phone call – Courtney, at age 19, reaching out to her father after more than a decade of separation. What unfolds is a complex narrative of healing that spans generations, cultures, and the deep wounds of abandonment. Matt, who experienced his own mother's departure at age 14, and Courtney, who grew up disconnected from her Indigenous heritage, share how they navigated the challenging path to rebuilding their relationship. Their dialogue reveals the delicate dance of trust-building, the courage required to face painful truths, and the transformative power of accountability. Through tears, laughter, and profound realizations, father and daughter discuss how their reconciliation process helped them both reclaim not just their relationship but also their cultural identity and sense of self. The conversation takes unexpected turns as they explore ancestral memory, the impact of cultural disconnection, and the ways trauma can shape family dynamics across generations. Matt's eventual embrace of emotional vulnerability and Courtney's unwavering commitment to authenticity showcase how healing, while painful, can lead to profound personal growth. What makes this episode particularly powerful is its universality – while their story is uniquely theirs, the themes of longing, forgiveness, and the journey to understanding resonate across all family relationships. Their story offers hope and practical insights for anyone navigating similar waters of family reconciliation. The episode concludes with both father and daughter in a place of hard-won peace, demonstrating how love, commitment, and courage can bridge even the widest of gaps. Their journey is a testament to the possibility of healing and the importance of doing the difficult work of reconciliation within families and across cultural divides. This conversation isn't just about a daughter and father finding their way back to each other – it's about the broader journey of healing intergenerational trauma, reclaiming cultural identity, and the transformative power of showing up authentically in our relationships.

What if everything you thought you knew about your racial identity was just scratching the surface? What if your body has been trying to tell you something your mind has been too busy to hear? In this episode, Coach Che chats with psychotherapist Natalie Haynes about the journey beneath the skin - literally. Through the lens of somatic therapy, she reveals how our bodies carry the weight of racial identity, cultural expectations, and generational stories we've never fully understood. From a seven-year-old girl discovering she's "black" at her birthday party to an adult woman navigating the complexities of multiple identities to fair-skinned children having to "prove" their blackness with photos of their mother - this conversation dives deep into the often unspoken realities of race in North America. This is about the tension on your shoulders when someone questions your identity, the knot in your stomach when you have to explain your heritage and the physical weight of carrying "unfinished business" in a society that prefers sound bites to soul-searching. Natalie shares: Why does your stress response kick in during conversations about race How perimenopause becomes an unexpected gateway to authenticity The reason most diversity training misses the mark Why "managing" emotions might be your most significant obstacle to growth Whether white, black, mixed-race, or "I don't see colour," this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about identity, belonging, and the wisdom your body holds.

Navigating Midlife and Building Resilience: A Journey Through Grief and Transformation Welcome, friends! I'm Coach Che Marville, host of Let's Talk. As we launch Season 4, I reflect on how this journey, which began during the pandemic, has evolved. What started as a response to isolation and loss has blossomed into a space for connection, relationships, and growth. In this episode, I share my experiences with grief, midlife transformation, and the lessons I've learned. When I began Let's Talk, I was grieving the loss of my mother, a spiritual mentor and guide. Her passing from COVID-19 shook me deeply, igniting a long journey of healing. Much like midlife, grief is a catalyst for change, forcing us to confront who we are and who we're becoming. Midlife brings biological and emotional shifts, including the challenges of perimenopause. Like many, I struggled with unexpected symptoms like anxiety and weight gain. But through weightlifting and embracing new habits, I found strength. Midlife isn't about holding on to the past; it's about growth and creating new patterns for the future. Connection is also vital to our well-being. Building and nurturing relationships is crucial in a world that often isolates us. Podcasting has allowed me to share stories, build community, and rebuild the village. As we progress, I invite you to join me in creating new habits for strength, resilience, and well-being. Together, we can thrive in midlife and beyond. Stay connected, stay curious, and keep talking. — Coach Che Marville Upcoming Episode: Natalie Perkins, CEO of Pauz, joins us to discuss building resilience and success in midlife. Don't miss it!

Let's Talk Returns On October 5.2024

Hey Now- October We are so close to starting the new season on October 5th. I'm thrilled to kick off the fourth season of Let's Talk. Over the years, we've shared countless conversations, but this season, we're adding some exciting elements: live events, guest interviews, and a deeper dive into meditations and coaching techniques. Reflecting on our journey since October 2020, it's incredible to see how much has changed. Back then, we were hopeful that the pandemic would soon be behind us. Now, we're navigating a new normal that feels anything but settled. As we move into 2024, it's clear that our world has transformed in ways we never anticipated. With overwhelming information and polarized opinions, it's challenging to discern what's true and relevant to our lives. So, why continue this podcasting journey? For me, it's a powerful way to connect, listen, and nurture community in a noisy world. In an era where so much seems unreal—fake avatars, superficial online interactions—true human connection becomes vital. We heal and uplift each other through authenticity and presence. Yet, it's easy to feel lost in this fast-paced world, where change is constant and sometimes overwhelming. The reality is, as Mel Robbins famously said, "No one's coming to save you." Each of us must find our strength and accountability. And let's be honest: everyone is struggling in their way. This season, I invite you to embrace radical honesty with yourself. What do you truly care about? Understanding yourself deeply allows you to take responsibility for your mental health, emotions, and personal growth. Only then can you support others. Consider this game-changing thought: Instead of believing you're not enough, what if your greatest work is discovering just how capable you are? We all possess unique skills and gifts—blessings meant to enrich the world around us. Each of us is born with inherent capabilities and abilities. While some may feel cynical about their value, I challenge you to explore the idea that you are a blessing. Your perspective, storytelling, and insights contribute to a richer world. Picture yourself as a seed. When nurtured, you grow and expand, creating new ideas and possibilities. Too often, we allow hurt, greedy, or fearful people to dominate our landscape. But remember, there are more of us than them! The key to transformation lies within. Focus on strengthening your mind and body. Nourish your inner light, and share it with your community—family, friends, or pets. When you uplift those around you, you make the world a little brighter, one interaction at a time. Let's embark on this exploration together. Let's raise our collective vibration, drawing from the seeds of potential within us. The world may be run by fear and hurt, but we can change that narrative. As we start this new season, I encourage you to breathe deeply, hold that breath, and release it into the world. Let's grow, expand, and embrace the beauty of our shared journey. We can foster a community grounded in authenticity, compassion, and resilience. So, let's talk. Let's breathe life into our gifts and make a difference—one conversation at a time. Don't forget to subscribe!

Yo believes in the power of theatre to teach acceptance and love; as a Turkish child from Cypress, he knows what it was like to be an outsider in Canada, and it was a teacher that saw that even though he could not speak English, he was funny and engaging, and she encouraged him to do drama. Even in the hardship of running a theatre company, he feels more determined to tell stories that allow people to see different points of view.
