The race to succeed Jagmeet Singh has begun, but most of the NDP's big names are steering clear. Post-election, vibes within the party have been bleak, mired with handwringing, infighting, and no clear guiding vision. One thing everyone seems to agree on is that any new leader needs to build a big tent. Bring back the labour vote. With Trump playing tariff bingo, there's a real opportunity to speak — and to listen — to workers. Are the leadership hopefuls ready to take it?Taylor Noakes joins Jesse Brown to discuss.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Jules Bugiel (Producer), Lucie Laumonier (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), tom sayers (Audio Editor), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Taylor NoakesFurther reading on our website.Canadaland Politics is recording a LIVE podcast and Q&A from Calgary on September 22nd, 2025 at 7:30PM MT hosted by Mount Royal University.

The Hudson's Bay Company is dead. While the Canadian media obsesses over the sale of The Bay's retail properties, thousands of historical artefacts and artworks — including the original copy of the Royal Charter — sit concealed in the cockles of the company's dustiest vault. Now, Canada's oldest retailer is hemming and hawing over donating these culturally-significant artefacts to Indigenous communities requesting them, or selling the artefacts for cold, hard cash… all-the-while refusing to share what's in their inventory.Taylor Noakes chats with Jesse about why the Bay's obfuscation of their collection is more important than a document — even one the king signed.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Jules Bugiel (Producer), Lucie Laumonier (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), tom sayers (Audio Editor), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Taylor NoakesThis episode uses generative AI for the following purposes: Voice cloning of Canadaland's editor and publisher Jesse Brown.NOTE: A previous version of this episode included a shorter version of Ruby Liu's email to Justice Peter Osborne.

He's back and ready to try and convince conservatives he's the right man for the job.But, in the media, the picture being painted is a little less clear.

In July, Mark Carney made it clear to public workers that there would be a tightening of the belt. Ministers were told to save 15% from their departmental budgets over the next three years. The deadline to do so is next week, August 28th. What that looks like in practice is pretty bleak. By 2028, it has been estimated that over 57,000 full-time equivalent workers will be laid off. Who will be laid off? And is this type of austerity bad governance?Meanwhile, in Ontario, Doug Ford is mandating a return to office for all workers, five days a week, come January 2026.

This special BONUS EPISODE, entitled Stronger Together, is the epilogue to our special nine-part series. It's a closing conversation where our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcomed Womaness co-founders, Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs, to explore the importance of community and connection in midlife, their thoughts + reflections on the series overall and why they were so passionate about supporting it.The conversation touches on how Womaness, a brand built for women by women, fosters community and trust, including a private Facebook Group called The After Party where over 9,000 women connect + share their insights and experiences about midlife. We also discuss the complex paradigm of women supporting women and why that sometimes feels difficult - both in life and in business.We also take a valuable look back on the series, leaving listeners with valuable insights from key episodes and share more on what's ahead for The Midlife Truth Project.About Our Guests:Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs met over 20 years ago. They became good friends early in their careers, creative collaborators, and honest sounding boards for each other. During a catchup a few years ago, Sally shared she'd been experiencing a variety of symptoms—aches and pains, vaginal dryness, and dry skin—and was surprised to learn that these were all related to menopause. After reaching out to friends and colleagues, they realized that this scenario was all too common. There was no clear education, support, or modern products for this time in a woman's life.So they did something about it. Leveraging their combined skills and experiences, they created Womaness, the leading women's wellness brand, to modernize aging for women and to help them navigate their changing bodies with innovative products and solutions, essential information, and unlimited inspiration.Connect with Our Hosts and Conversation Partner!Womanesshttps://womaness.com/Instagram @mywomanessFacebook @mywomanessJulie Flakstadhttps://julieflakstad.com/ Instagram @julieflakstad Facebook @thejulieflakstadDr. Taz BhatiaYouTube: @DrTazMDInstagram: @drtazmdWebsite: doctortaz.comOrder The Hormone Shift book HEREPractice - Centre Spring MD: https://centrespringmd.com/ Thanks so much for tuning in!

This is episode (9) of our special nine-part series entitled Connect The Dots. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcome serial entrepreneur, visionary and dedicated philanthropist Sara Blakely. As the founder of Spanx, a now billion-dollar global brand that revolutionized women's apparel and, more recently, Sneex, the world's first high-heel sneaker, Sara shares her midlife journey as a time of transformation and growth. She highlights the importance of mindset, intuition, and carving out moments for self-connection, all of which have guided her major decisions in life, including selling Spanx. She also gives valuable advice + insight on how to embrace fear and stay connected to one's "why" - especially in midlife.Here are some key themes + takeaways …Midlife as a "Chrysalis":  Rather than seeing midlife as a crisis, Sara sees it as a transformative period of shedding, growth and inner reflection, where ego-driven motivations give way to purpose-driven ones driven more by spirit.The Power of Visualization: Sara shares her approach on visualization where she focuses on creating mental space for her mind to wander, daydream and allowing ideas to surface naturally.Connecting with Intuition: From an early age, Sara explains how she learned to connect with herself, embrace intuition and manifest what she wants. She talks openly about her ongoing process of becoming intentional and clear about key decisions as well as asking the universe for specific signs to guide her.Overcoming Fear: “The only way to overcome your fear, is to do it,” Sara says, explaining that continues to be committed to saying YES to challenging situations that could be embarrassing. Embarrassing situations become funny, vulnerable stories, she explains, and these experiences make us more resilient and allow us to embrace our imperfections.Struggling with Perimenopause: Sara opens up about her own vulnerable experience and confusion dealing with perimenopause including extreme hormone fluctuations, sleep struggles, massive weight fluctuations and severe emotional lows. Philanthropy and Purpose-Driven Work: Passionately dedicated to empowering women, she talks about her personal, and at times playful, approach to philanthropy, including lending out her wedding dress to women during COVID, creating a "wedding dress sisterhood."About Our Guest, Sara BlakelySara Blakely is a serial entrepreneur and the visionary founder of Spanx, a brand that revolutionized women's shapewear by turning her personal frustration with traditional hosiery into an innovative solution. Beyond her business, Blakely is committed to empowering women globally through her Sara Blakely Foundation, and became the first female billionaire to join the Giving Pledge, promising to donate at least half her wealth to charity. Today, she continues to inspire as an investor on Shark Tank, a frequent speaker, and a champion for women achieving their dreams, all while aiming to create the world's most comfortable high-heel shoe, Sneex.Connect with Our Hosts and Conversation Partner!Sara BlakelySpanx  Sneex Sara Blakely FoundationSpeakingModern Elder Academy   Instagram: @sarablakely Julie Flakstadhttps://julieflakstad.com/ Instagram @julieflakstadFacebook @thejulieflakstadDr. Taz BhatiaYouTube: @DrTazMDInstagram: @drtazmdWebsite: doctortaz.comOrder The Hormone Shift book HEREPractice - Centre Spring MD: https://centrespringmd.com/ Tune in next Wednesday, 11/20, when we drop our bonus episode to this special (9) part series, called “Stronger Together” with Womaness co-founders, Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs.

This is episode (8) of our special nine-part series entitled It's Not Too Late. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Gabby Reece - volleyball legend, inspirational health and fitness leader, podcast host, corporate speaker, New York Times bestselling author, wife, and mother. In this conversation, Gabby shares her own personal experience navigating midlife and her perspective and advice on fostering a positive mindset, prioritizing self-care + the power of taking personal inventory. Together we discuss why it's "never too late" for anything; new pursuits, fitness, relationships and instead how to lean into curiosity and play with flexibility and grace.Here are some key themes + takeaways …Midlife + Adolescence: similar to adolescence, we can either buy into what society tells us that we should be thinking and feeling in midlife, or we can avoid the noise and take charge of what we can control.We're not invisible, it's simply nature: at the end of the day, humans are animals. As we reach midlife, we're not emitting signals to make people look at us, because we're NOT having babies anymore. That doesn't mean we're invisible. Midlife is nature's way of freeing us up, so we can move on and add value in different ways.Preserve your inner ‘girl': as we age, remember to have fun, not just on Saturday nights but also on everyday afternoons. Lety's “sharpen the blade of being ‘naughty' and be more playful, have more levity and take ourselves less seriously.The distinction between curiosity and searching: recognize that the answer is not “out there” for us to search for, it's ‘within' us. Ultimately there really aren't any ‘answers' anyway. Curiosity is about waking up everyday with your beliefs but being willing to question them, listen to other ideas and learn new concepts.As long as you're ALIVE, be ALIVE: don't fall into the trap of ‘you're either young or old'. Instead, lean into the fact that you're either ALIVE or DEAD, and as long as you're alive, BE ALIVE. We're all here to connect and contribute something for as long as we're alive.Life is school: we're learning - let go of all the expectations and live.All you need is 90 days: Create a plan for movement + nutrition. There is nothing more painful than not moving. You can change anything if you give it 90 daysAbout Our Guest, Gabby ReeceGabby Reece is a former professional volleyball player, fitness icon, model, and entrepreneur known for her powerful presence both on and off the court. With a career that began in sports and extended into wellness advocacy, she has inspired countless individuals to pursue active, healthy lifestyles. Beyond her athletic achievements, Reece is a successful businesswoman, author, and podcast host who champions the importance of mental resilience, self-care, and balance.

This is episode (7) of our special nine-part series entitled Plan Ahead. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Jean Chatzky - CEO and Founder of HerMoney, journalist, author, and former financial editor of NBC's Today Show. The conversation addresses both the practical and emotional aspects of financial planning, especially for women in their 40s and 50s. Chatzky shares insights into why financial planning is inherently challenging, particularly due to human behavioral tendencies, and emphasizes the importance of understanding personal "money types" to overcome financial roadblocks.Here are some of the themes we discuss …What ‘planning ahead' means in our 40s + 50s: Jean offers perspective on why we're not necessarily wired to plan ahead ahead, how planning ahead has evolved, and what we should be thinking about today.Emotional and Behavioral Aspects of Money Management The episode underscores that money management isn't just numbers—it's tied deeply to emotions and behaviors, and understanding this connection can help individuals make better, less reactive financial decisions.Understanding Personal “Money Types” She explains that one of the first steps to planning ahead is to better understand your relationship with money and finances. Jean recommends taking a money personality quiz (see link below) to provide insight on why you are the way you are, and, if you're in a relationship, how your partner is wired too.Building an Emergency Fund Jean highlights the importance of a dedicated emergency fund (aka the “oh shit” fund) for life's unexpected expenses, including tips on how much we should have saved for unforeseen circumstances.Empowering Women in Financial Decision Making The conversation explores how many women in midlife feel unprepared to handle or even talk about personal finances, the need to insert oneself in financial conversations, and advice on how to take a more active role in managing day-to-day finances.Setting Realistic Financial Goals Jean offers valuable benchmarks for savings and retirement, insight on how to talk more openly with your partner/spouse about your future goals, and broader perspective on how to avoid FOMO relative to what one can and can't afford.About Our Guest, Jean ChatzkyJean Chatzky, CEO and co-founder of HerMoney is the former financial editor of NBC's Today Show, a coach on the PBS show Opportunity Knocks, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, the financial ambassador for AARP and the host of the HerMoney podcast. Through decades of reporting on personal finance, she learned that a) the jargon-filled speak of the financial industry was created (largely by men) to sell you stuff you don't need, and b) if you eliminate the jargon there is absolutely no rocket science to money. She knows that a full, successful financial life is within every woman's grasp — and with the HerMoney team, she's on a mission to help you get it.Connect with Our Hosts and Conversation Partner!Jean ChatzkyHerMoney Podcast Books Speaking Website: https://jeanchatzky.com/ Instagram: @jeanchatzky  Resources notedwww.investingfixx.com Money Type: Money Personality QuizJulie Flakstadhttps://julieflakstad.com/ Instagram @julieflakstad Facebook @thejulieflakstadDr. Taz BhatiaYouTube: @DrTazMDInstagram: @drtazmdWebsite: doctortaz.comOrder The Hormone Shift book HEREPractice - Centre Spring MD: https://centrespringmd.com/ Tune in next Wednesday, 11/6, when we drop our next episode in this special (9) part series, called “It's Not Too Late” with former professional volleyball player, entrepreneur and podcast host, Gabby Reece.
