Over my summer vacation I found myself reflecting on the mental toll that my work (and life) sometimes takes. While seeking out great, uplifting stories to share with you, I am constantly bombarded with stressful stories and negative energies that can be especially draining. Fortunately, through years of self-work, I’ve learned to recognize when to hit the reset button—changing the algorithm of my life, so to speak. This practice has led me to actively seek out joy and reconnect with what gives me purpose. This week’s show is an extension of that journey, a gift focused on helping us all find our centre and infuse our lives with joy.
A Pathway to Resilience and Joy
The past few years have tested our resilience in ways we never anticipated. From the relentless pace of troubling news to financial struggles and the isolating impact of the pandemic, finding joy has often seemed just out of reach. This week, Dr. Susan Biali Haas, a medical doctor, wellness expert, and the author of “The Resilient Life,” joins me to discuss these challenges. She offers vital insights into how we can rebuild our resilience and rediscover happiness in our lives. Dr. Susan’s expertise is a beacon for anyone feeling the weight of recent years, illuminating a pathway back to strength and happiness.
Lightening the Mood with Entertainment
In the second half of the show, Anne Brodie brings us her latest entertainment finds to lighten our spirits. She reviews the compelling reboot of the 1972 film “Caligula,” and shares her thoughts on the new films “Good One” and “The Good Half,” as well as the HBO Original “Chimp Crazy.” Anne also discusses “My Penguin Friend,” a true story that promises to touch our hearts with its sincerity and warmth.
Exploring the World Underwater with Your Family
Lastly, we meet Claire Zlobin, founder of Life With a Baby and Drop Of Golden Sun. Claire shares her experiences and expertise on family-friendly adventures, specifically teaching kids to scuba dive. She highlights some of the best snorkeling and diving spots that are perfect for families, offering a glimpse into the underwater world that many of us dream about.
Join us as we explore these enriching topics on this week’s episode of What She Said. Whether you’re looking for ways to build resilience, seeking a bit of escapism through film, or planning your next family adventure, today’s discussions are designed to uplift and inspire.
