April 28 2024-Crossing the Trans Canada Trail at 50 & Preparing Your Lawn The first person to cross the Trans Canada Trail: 500 DAYS IN THE WILD, a documentary by the award-winning filmmaker Dianne Whelan who spent six years crossing the entire 24,000 kilometre Trans Canada Trail, mostly alone. She began in St. John

Award-winning director and cinematographer Dianne Whelan does not choose easy topics. She's made docs about Mount Everest, and the Arctic, but this one, about being the first to tackle the whole Trans Canada Trail, takes the cake. Or in this case, the reheated oatmeal. Dianne has called her new documentary “500 Days in the Wild”, because that was the plan, to travel from St. John's NL. to Victoria B.C., 24 thousand miles in 500 days. Only it took 6 years. Dianne burnt the original schedule and gave in to a harrowing, grueling, and heart-warming adventure. She began the trek disheartened and disillusioned, her marriage was over, her beloved dog had died, and the world was getting scary. On the trip, she fell in love, learned how people can be extraordinarily kind, and she survived. She came close but was not mauled to death by a bear, her canoe did not get swamped. The doc has stunning shots from across Canada, but what sticks is her confirmation that we are not in charge. You can watch this episode on YouTube.

On the Saturday March 2, 2024 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we get to know Alex Mallari Jr. The actor is known for his performances in the television series “Dark Matter” and “Ginny & Georgia.” You've seen him in movies “The Adam Project,” with Ryan Reynolds and “Shotgun Wedding” with Jennifer Lopez. Today we'll talk about his latest Netflix movie, “Code 8 II” and working with Ryan Reynolds and Jenifer Lopez. We'll also meet Liz Locke. If you like cocktails and classic movies like I do, you'll want to check out her site CinemaSips.com and then check out her debut novel “Follow the Sun,” a portrait of the 1960s International Jet Set Era through the eyes of an aspiring singer-songwriter. Then, Dianne Whelan stops by. She is an award-winning director and cinematographer known for making films in extreme locations. She's made movies in the Canadian Arctic and Mount Everest's base camp but her latest, “500 Days in the Wild,” tested her in ways she had never experienced before. She filmed herself traversing the entire 24,000 kms of longest trail in the world, Canada's land and water trails from sea to sea to sea. It is an epic journey of discovery—hiking, biking, paddling, snowshoeing and skiing across the country—that provided challenges over the six year it took her to complete the journey, but at the end she emerged a bit wiser, and certainly more hopeful about the state of the world.

Dianne Whelan was at a turning point in her life. So she decided she would travel across Canada — by bike, canoe, snow shoe and foot — along the Trans Canada Trail. Whelan shares what she learned about herself and how her faith in the goodness of strangers was restored in a new documentary film, 500 Days in the Wild.

When Dianne Whelan needed to reset her life, the best option was to hit the trail. Chronicling her journey in 500 DAYS IN THE WILD, Whelan's ride took on a life of its own yet also changed her life in ways she could have never imagined. In this 1on1, we speak to Whelan about reconnecting with the web of life, submitting to the process and what's in her 'bundle'.

On this very special episode, Eric interviews Dianne Whelan of 500 Days in the Wild.500 Days in the Wild will be released on March 1, 2024.

Paula Gale speaks with Dianne Whelan about completing the Trans Canada Trail

Dianne Whelan is the first to admit she is not an ‘extreme’ or endurance athlete. She describes herself as “just an artist from Vancouver”. But there is no doubt the project she’s currently undertaking is pretty extreme. In 2015, she set out to travel the length of the Great Trail (or the Trans Canada Trail) which stretches from one side of Canada to the other and is the longest trail in the world. It’s a 24,000km / 15,000mi journey across Canada - including 7,000km of water - that she is travelling by foot, bike, canoe and snowshoe. Dianne initially thought it would take her about 500 days and so she named the project, and the documentary film she is simultaneously making in the process, ‘500 Days in the Wild’. 5 years later, she is about 3,000km from finishing her epic journey. And when she does so, she’ll become the first person to complete this epic traverse of Canada. What makes Dianne’s perspective unique (at least to this podcast) is that this journey is not about the challenge or the athletic achievement. Instead, she describes as an ecological pilgrimage to honour both the land and to pay respects to the First Nations people of Canada, to learn their stories and share their lessons.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Band of Rebels edition, we're doing things a bit differently. For the span of the next 6 weeks, I’ll be asking 18 Rebels the same question. “What advice would you give your 20-year-old-self?” The panel of Real Rebels for this episode are Kimberly McMullen from Girl in the Wild, Chloe Elgar physic medium from Chloe’s Countertop, and Dianne Whelan from 500 Days in the Wild. Each of their answers was taken from the end of their previous episodes when I ask them this question in the rapid-fire segment. The Band of Rebels series was designed to act as a platform for the voices of the RRP Community. So often we listen to a podcast and don't ever connect with fellow listeners. We also live in a world where we're judged by the number of followers we have. Often times we only end up hearing the wisdom and voices of those who have large social followings. This isn't to say those humans are lovely humans, I just feel it's important to branch out. Just because someone has 10 followers doesn't mean they don't know some good sh*t worth sharing. I firmly believe that we all have a deep inner-wisdom, regardless of the number of followers we have to our name. The Band of Rebels series puts the mic in the hands of people you might not otherwise hear from while simultaneously connects you lovely listeners with other listeners whose wisdom might just be the remedy you needed. Lots of love! Your Host - Katie B

on the journey of a lifetime in search of the answers to the questions “what have we forgotten?” and “What do we need to know?”. Her story unfolds along the longest trail in the world, the 24,000 km Trans Canada Trail, where she has already spent the last three years and estimates another two.Dianne has met so many incredible people and communities on her path so far that have taught her invaluable lessons about connection (to the land and each other), purpose, ceremony, trust, and so much more. However, perhaps the most incredible person she has faced on this journey of 500 Days in the Wild, is herself.

With this episode, I've got some real talk for you. If you've got a pulse, my guest Janne Robinson can probably find one way or another to inspire you or strike a chord within you.    Janne is the ultimate renaissance woman. She is a poet, author, entrepreneur, speaker, women's empowerment thought leader, and an avid surfer (which let's not lie, we love on this show).    Janne describes what she does as ‘empowering people to live their truths and be authentic.' How's that for a mission statement?   As a writer and modern day beat poet, Janne carries the torch of icons, like Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski, and Gloria Steinem. She has been published in various major literary outlets, and has had multiple pieces go viral, including a spoken word poetry film based on a poem she wrote  titled, “This Is For The Women Who Don't Give a Fuck.” That piece received a bunch of critical praise and was actually nominated for an award at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. She has since written book and built a fashionable clothing brand around that poem.    I found my conversation with Janne to be captivating, not only because I really dig her take on the world, but also because of her no bullshit approach to creating the life she really wants. I sincerely hope you'll get something out of it too.   Before we get into it, I want to take a second to dedicate this episode to all the strong ladies in my life, especially my mom, who is total old school and embodies all the amazing things strong women have to offer the world. Mom - this episode reminded me of you, and I want you to know that you inspire, motivate, and invigorate me and those around you more than you'll ever know. Honestly, if one day I can raise a daughter like you, I won't only be able to call parenthood a success, but I will also have been able to do it precisely because of you.    Enjoy!      Show Notes and Resources:   Janne's website   / Janne's Instagram   / Janne's company This Is For The Women   / Salty Souls   / Louise Hay (You Can Heal Your Life)   / Dianne Whelan   / Puro Surf   / Charles Bukowski   / Jack Kerouac   / Gloria Stienem   / Tyler Knott   / Kyle Cease   / Brene Brown   / Amanda Palmer   / Elizabeth Gilbert   / Summit (events)  

When Rob Hill was 23 he noticed something was wrong when he started experiencing abdominal pain, diarrhea and nausea. At the time he didn’t even have a GP, being a healthy young man, never having the occasion to need one. He was soon diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, a chronic autoimmune disorder with no known cure that affects the digestive tract. His body essentially attacked itself, triggering intense inflammation in his digestive organs, particularly his intestine, and at one point Rob dwindled to a skeletal 105 pounds and was unable to engage in daily activities let alone the sport he loved: climbing. Rob also runs the non-profit Intestinal Disease Education and Awareness Society (IDEAS). It conducts advocacy programs on behalf of all people living with intestinal diseases.
