"How do I know if I'm in an emotionally abusive relationship?" asks a YouTube listener. In this episode, Dr. Kerry explains why even asking this question is an important sign of possible trouble. Dr Kerry will outline what emotional abuse actually looks like (hint: it's not about one-off incidents—it's about patterns) and why you might feel like you're shrinking or walking on eggshells. Abusive relationships turn people into a functional object instead of letting them shine as a fully autonomous and complex person.

My Music with Graham Coath — Featuring Mary McAvoyIn this soulful and wide-ranging episode of My Music, host Graham Coath heads across the Atlantic to chat with Mary McAvoy, a singer-songwriter from Providence, Rhode Island, whose voice blends classic soul, blues, and pop into something timelessly human.Together they explore how community, creativity, and the sea itself inspire her work — from her early love of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion to her blues-infused originals that channel both comfort and catharsis. Mary talks openly about growing up in a musical household, the reality of life after appearing on The Voice USA, and what success really means when fame isn't the goal.There's humour, heart, and even a guest appearance from Mary's dachshund-beagle mix (who clearly approves of good music). The conversation dives into everything from Ella Fitzgerald to quantum physics, from the soul of live performance to why women in music are rewriting the rules of age and success.
In this episode, Jaffe & Razor discuss the B's 3-2 OT win over Ottawa.
