Segment 1 – Desire Beats Discipline

Summer is the perfect time to step away from our screens—but what actually helps us make lasting change? Jenn is joined by Regina naturopath Dr. Node, who explains why habits built on desire, not guilt or willpower, are far more likely to stick. It's a fresh way to think about creating a healthier life.

Segment 2 – Two Stories About Small Choices

Jenn shares two stories that prove small actions can change everything. One comes from a garden, where just ten minutes a day produced surprising results. The other is inspired by the blockbuster film The Odyssey and an ancient Greek principle called xenia—the idea that treating strangers with kindness isn't just good for them, it's good for us, too.

Segment 3 – When Community Carries You

Tammy MacDonald shares the heartbreaking story of her daughter being stabbed and the long road that followed. In the middle of unimaginable grief, she discovered the extraordinary power of community, showing how the people around us can help carry us through life's darkest moments.

Segment 4 – Turning Pain Into Purpose

Rather than letting tragedy define her family, Tammy is working to create meaningful change through new laws. She explains her efforts to strengthen accountability when drugs contribute to violent crime and shares why hope, courage, and community remain at the heart of her mission.
