What happens when you know something is wrong with your body, but no one seems to be listening?

In this week's conversation, award-winning journalist and host of (MIS)Treated, Nam Kiwanuka, shares her personal experience navigating fibroids, chronic anemia, lengthy wait times for care, and the reality of advocating for herself in a system that often dismisses women's concerns.

We talk about the gaps in women's health research, why so many conditions go undiagnosed for years, and what women can do to better advocate for themselves and their families.

One message from this conversation stayed with me:
Manage your health like you manage your credit.

It's practical advice, but it's also a reminder that our health deserves attention, questions, and follow-through.

If you've ever felt unheard, dismissed, or frustrated while trying to get answers, this episode is for you.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

PSA: Get off your phone and get outside if you can. 🇨🇦☀️

It’s a long weekend in Canada, and while many are enjoying sunshine, family time, road trips, and rest, some communities across the country are dealing with difficult weather conditions and disruptions right now.

So if you’re able to safely enjoy the outdoors today, take the moment. Go for the walk. Sit in the sun. Be present with the people around you.

To everyone working this long weekend, health care workers, first responders, retail staff, hospitality workers, transportation staff, and everyone else keeping things running, we appreciate you.

Sometimes the small moments matter most.

What do you do when the thing you worked for does not go the way you hoped?

Olympian Cynthia Appiah joins Stephanie Mitton for a powerful conversation about rebuilding after disappointment, reclaiming agency, and learning that starting over does not mean starting from nothing.

After nearly walking away from bobsleigh following the 2018 Olympics, Cynthia chose to become a pilot and rebuild her career on her own terms. In this episode, we talk about resilience, women’s sport, identity beyond achievement, leadership, Jeopardy!, and the motto that has carried her through difficult seasons:

“Every storm eventually runs out of rain.”

This one is full of wisdom for women navigating pressure, change, or a season of asking “what now?”
