For more than two decades, FashionTelevision had people all over the world obsessed with host Jeanne Beker's compelling interviews with top designers and supermodels, her intel about what goes on behind-the-scenes at runway shows around the world, and what was in and out of style. Before that, her interviews with the hottest musicians on The NewMusic made for some of the most talked about TV moments, from Iggy Pop to Keith Richards, Paul McCartney and Madonna. Both shows were ground-breaking in the 1980s and '90s. In her new memoir, "Heart on My Sleeve," Beker talks about her early influences, highlights some of her more memorable interviews, and poignantly discusses her recent experience with cancer.

On this episode of Finding Your Bliss, Celebrity Interviewer and Bliss Coach Judy Librach is joined by beloved fashion and style icon Jeanne Beker. Jeanne Beker was the host of the hit show Fashion Television, which aired in over 130 countries for twenty-seven years and was one of the most successful shows in Canadian TV history. Prior to that, she hosted the groundbreaking show The NewMusic and was a founding member of MuchMusic. A seasoned newspaper and magazine columnist, Jeanne was editor-in-chief of FQ and SIR magazines from 2003 to 2009. Currently, she is a frequent keynote speaker and style editor for TSC, where she hosts her eponymous show Style Matters. Jeanne has received honorary doctorates from St. Mary's University and OCAD University. She was named to the Order of Canada in 2013, inducted into the American Marketing Association's Hall of Legends in 2015, and received a star on Canada's Walk of Fame in 2016. Jeanne lives in Toronto, Canada. In her latest outstanding accomplishment, Jeanne Beker delivers an uplifting and inspiring memoir, that walks us through a wardrobe of memory, one article of clothing at a time. Her latest book, “Heart on My Sleeve: Stories From a Life Well Worn” is her sixth book and her best to date! Jeanne walks us through her recollections of specific pieces of clothing and jewelry, precious items that have made an indelible impact on her. She invites readers to think more deeply about how what we wear—whether it's a thrift-store find or high-end couture—acts as a touchstone to our most treasured recollections, reminding us of who we once were or of loved ones we hold dear. With Jeanne as our style guide, in her book, we get up close and personal with a star-studded cast, including Paul McCartney, Madonna, Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Moss, Oscar de la Renta, Beyonce?, and Keith Richards. But equally important, Jeanne introduces us to the family members and loved ones who form her closest entourage—including her wise Yiddish mother and her industrious father, both Holocaust survivors; her childhood neighbour Mrs. Jaskolka, a style maven ahead of her time; her two trailblazing daughters; and her many warm and exuberant friends who have seen her through the best and worst of times. Jeanne proves that a life lived with style and substance is always in fashion. Bold, colourful, and authentic, this is Jeanne Beker at her very best and brightest. This was a delightful interview! I can't wait to share it with you all.

Fashion journalist Jeanne Beker has been in the public eye for more than 50 years, most notably as a globetrotting reporter interviewing some of the world's highest-profile designers and models, as well as entertainers the likes of Paul McCartney and Bob Hope. But for the last year, Beker, now 71, has turned the camera on her own story—as a breast cancer patient. She's been extremely public about her diagnosis, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and surgery. And now, she's advocating for better (and earlier) screening for women with dense breasts. Two weeks ago, Beker completed her year of cancer treatments at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. But that challenge hasn't stopped her from starting to write a new book, hosting her Style Matters television show and making countless appearances at fundraisers for breast cancer and other good causes.
