Alex and Shane return from their two week holiday, and discuss their time at a family cottage (bickering with parents, over drinking, eating too many chips...), and the importance of “puttering” to save the marriage. 

 

First Nations advocate, actress, model, and former Mrs. Universe, Ashley Callingbull candidly shares her experience growing up on an Indigenous reserve, enduring years of sexual abuse, overcoming trauma, racism in the pageantry circuit, and systemic inequalities that Canada’s Indigenous populations experience. 

 

Author (“When Charley Met Emma”) and disability advocate Amy Webb (This Little Miggy) helps listeners navigate how to discuss disabilities with their able-bodied children, the journey she experienced as a mother to a child with limb differences, and how society reacts to and treats the disabled population.  

 

Alex and Shane answer a mailbag of listener questions about their growing family, their thoughts on the pandemic, birth control and favourite apps.
