First-time author Nancy Thode has written a biography of her mother, the writer Ann Head, whom Nancy describes as a woman “very much ahead of her time.” Ann Head supported her family through her writing, something very rare in the 1940s and 50s, and even in the 1960s. Her short stories were published widely by the magazines of the day, such as McCall’s and Colliers, and one of her novels, Mr. & Mrs. Bo Jones was made into a movie. She was a mentor to fellow writer Pat Conroy, who sang her praises in more ways than one. Yet many if not all of Ann Head’s books are out of print or difficult to find. Nancy hopes the biography of her mother called “Ahead of her Time: The Trailblazing Life and Literary Legacy of Ann Head” will reconnect the world with her mother’s work. She spoke to Lisa Champeau from her vacation home on Fripp Island, not far from her native Beaufort, where Ann was not just a working mom but a legend.

Send us a textMeet Christine Marsh, a force of nature who at 84 became a model and is now trailblazing on a path to becoming the key Global Influencer on "Living Life to the Full" for the over-50s and beyond by age 90! Wrapped in sunflower yellow and radiating unstoppable energy, Christine shares her extraordinary journey from being born in India during wartime, to International Business Change Facilitator, Speaker, and Author.Christine's story is one of perpetual reinvention and refusal to accept limitations. Born to a military father who had "ordered a son," she grew up being called "Bill"—yet rather than breaking her spirit, this fueled her determination. Unable to read conventionally until a teacher recognized she saw patterns rather than letters, Christine developed unique problem-solving abilities that would later define her career. At 50, when corporate life deemed her past her "sell-by date," she pivoted. At 81, following her husband's death, she faced a blank canvas and chose to "mature disgracefully" rather than retire quietly.Throughout our conversation, Christine shares wisdom that feels both timeless and urgently relevant: "Change is inevitable. Stress is manageable. Misery is optional." She illuminates her approach to facilitation with the metaphor of an orange negotiation exercise, showing how collaboration trumps competition. With the eye of a detective, she spots patterns others miss, embodying Leonardo da Vinci's principle that "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."What emerges is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. Christine's philosophy—"Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent"—has carried her through decades of breaking barriers. Her book "Flashpoint Transformation: Life's Choices" poses a question we all face: "Are you ready to jump or waiting to be pushed?" As she puts it with characteristic directness: "You only have the moment. You can't change the past, you can't determine the future. Please savour every single moment."Ready to rethink what's possible at any age? Christine's story might just be the spark that ignites your own transformation.

Send us a textWhat does it take to revolutionize a childcare system that hasn't changed in decades? In this candid conversation, Susan McGhee – the vibrant, self-described "thrawn" (delightfully stubborn) founder & CEO of Flexible Child Care Services Scotland – reveals how her innovative pay-by-the-hour childcare model is transforming family lives across Scotland.With 25% of Scottish children growing up in poverty, Susan recognized that traditional childcare structures were failing families with irregular work hours or financial constraints. Her solution? A genuinely flexible model allowing parents to book and pay for only the hours they need – saving families between £2,000-£5,000 annually while creating pathways back to employment, education, and economic independence.But this isn't just about childcare. Susan shares powerful stories of how small innovations – like a "take what you need, give what you can" coat rail – create dignity-centered support for families facing multiple challenges. As she puts it: "We don't want people to just get by. We want people to flourish." The impact is measurable: nearly £2 million kept in the pockets of Scotland's most vulnerable families last year alone.Through personal reflections on loss, resilience, and her own journey overcoming insecurities, Susan demonstrates the authentic leadership driving her organization's success. From surviving the pandemic weeks after launch to now employing nearly 200 people and supporting approximately 1,000 families, the five-year journey of FCSS reveals what's possible when we challenge outdated systems with bold, practical solutions.Ready to rethink how childcare could work in your community?

In this episode, we ride into the extraordinary life of John Ware, one of the most iconic and underrepresented figures in Canadian history. Born into slavery in the American South, Ware rose above the brutality of his beginnings to become a celebrated cowboy, rancher, and folk hero in 19th-century Alberta. We explore his journey from enslavement to freedom, his unmatched skills as a horseman, and his profound impact on Western Canada's ranching culture.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

Baljit Sangra's new documentary issues its central question in its title: Have You Heard Judi Singh? If you have to think about it, the answer is no, because once you've heard Judi Singh sing, you'll remember it – her clarity, her lyricism, the ease with which she scat and sang bebop and standards and original music – you'll remember that you've heard Judi Singh sing for the rest of your life. Originally from Edmonton, gifted jazz singer Judi Singh defied expectations as a Punjabi-Black artist stepping onto the stage in the late 1950s. Though her ethereal voice captivated musicians and audiences, the music industry failed to give her the recognition she deserved—an all-too-familiar story for women and artists of colour. In this lively and deeply felt documentary portrait, Judi's daughter Emily Hughes and Baljit retrace Judi's life and music through archival recordings, intimate recollections, and the bohemian spaces she once inhabited. Weaving together moments of brilliance, struggle, and resilience, the film reintroduces a forgotten artist to the spotlight she always deserved.More people will have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with Judi's voice and her remarkable story after Have You Heard Judi Singh? has its world premiere at the 2025 DOXA Documentary Film Festival. Filmmaker Baljit Sangra returns to the podcast to discuss Judi's artistry and legacy. Episode sponsor: Directors Guild Of Canada, BC District Council

Trailblazing women in craft beer discuss the impact of the Vibes Beer Project and how they became innovators in the brewing industry.In a hilarious and candid conversation, Solemn Oath Brewery Director of Hospitality & Operations Charolette Converse and ERIS Brewery & Cider House Co-Owner Michelle Foik discuss the Vibes Beer Project and how the craft beer landscape has changed for women over the years—and what's next. They explain how the Vibes Beer Project builds community for women, non-binary, and trans individuals in the industry (and why that matters) and share surprising facts about how many women are leaders in the craft beer industry in Chicago.After the beer break, they discuss future goals for Vibes before talking about their current release, "Vibes from the Heartland," which is a collaborative West Coast Pilsner brewed with hops including Citra, Simcoe, Cryo, and an experimental hop from Haas called HBC 1019. They also talk about ERIS Vibes from the Orchard, a hard cider with stone fruit and cherry, and explain how you can actually mix Vibes from the Heartland with Vibes from the Orchard to create a truly astonishing beverage.After the beer talk wraps up, Charolette and Michelle share how a project like Vibes helps brewers in general (not just women), the type of education, networking, and training they provide, where the money from Vibes actually goes, and stories about men who are extremely supportive of women entering the industry. Shortly thereafter, things go off the rails with a heavy dose of 80s movie nostalgia (especially Road House), a significant amount of “real talk,” and maybe even a camera or two completely dying.Vibes Beer Project is a celebration of the craft beer industry designed to educate, promote, and support the women in craft beer.
