Soul Sister Conversations

Guest: Mary Janet MacDonald-- Mary Janet McDonald rose to popularity in 2020 when she started a Facebook live in her kitchen while she baked. It became a weekly show to keep people company in lockdown. She has grown in popularity and success and is now author of two cookbooks called Tunes and Wooden Spoons: Recipes from a Cape Breton kitchen and Tunes and Wooden Spoons: Love without Measure is such a wonderfully humble and authentic person. It's no wonder she is a success. She connects easily with people. A terrific storyteller. She oozes warmth and authenticity. -- Connect with Tunes and Wooden Spoons: FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/TunesAndWoodenSpoons INSTAGRAM: @tunesandwoodenspoons YOU TUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TunesandWoodenSpoons -- Bio of Mary Janet MacDonald: I'm Mary Janet MacDonald.  Born and raised in Mabou, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.  I was raised by my grandaunt after my mother passed away at 37 from cervical cancer - my father kept the 3 oldest children as they were in school and the two youngest - stayed in the same community of Mabou - but because we were pre-schoolers (I was 3 and my brother 2), our father couldn't afford care in those days - so we ended up staying at those homes while still in school.  I believe this shaped me into who I am today.   In that home, I was exposed to so much music and laughter - steeped in the Gaelic traditions (like story telling, stepdancing, but sadly not the language although I do understand some of it).  One of my "sisters" in that family is Minnie MacMaster (Natalie MacMaster's Mom).  We chat every day.  She was the one who taught me stepdancing and we danced our first concert together in Mabou when I was 4 years old.  I taught stepdancing for more than 30 years and travelled around the world teaching this Cape Breton tradition. I am a mother to 7 children and a grandmother to 12.  My husband Cecil and I will be married 52 years this fall.  We live in Port Hood, Cape Breton since we married.  Because of the pandemic, I began the cooking show as a one-off but finding the need out there that people needed 'company' - at least once a week - I decided to keep on going and did this for the past 3 years.  Since January 2023 - I've reduced the shows to once a month (or maybe 2) just to keep it going.  It's grown to quite a few followers.

Although she's worked in a variety of sectors including oil and gas, telecommunications and community economic development, nearly half of her career has been in brokering commercial real estate deals in the Greater Saint John area.

Stephanie specializes in the leasing of vacant office space and assisting tenants in finding their dream workspace. That being said, over the past 15 years, she's worked with clients on virtually all aspects of buying and selling commercial real estate in addition to the leasing of industrial and retail space. Her approach to marketing her listings using social networking and other mediums has contributed to her success and has been a key element in building her personal brand. Stephanie's strengths lie in her communications and organization skills. Her professional approach has won her an extensive and loyal client base allowing much of her new business to come from personal referrals. When not brokering commercial real estate deals, you will find Stephanie and her husband Rob cycling the highways and byways of Charlotte County, New Brunswick.

Bill Randall has been immersed in story his entire life. He grew up the son of a pastor, his father being a natural storyteller. Bill, too became a minister in the early part of his career practicing what he now calls narrative care, listening to people's stories. As a retired professor and gerontologist at St. Thomas University, he wants us to understand the power of our stories we age. Today we chat about how our strength lies in our stories and how to be a better listener. We talk about aging and spirituality including how he reconciled religion with spirituality. -- About Dr. William Randall -- William L. (Bill) Randall is a retired Professor of Gerontology at St. Thomas University (STU) on  Canada's Atlantic coast. Brought up in rural New Brunswick, he holds an A.B. from Harvard College, a Th.M. from Princeton Theological Seminary, and M.Div. and Ed.D. degrees from the University of Toronto.
