Ah, the 90s. A time of butterfly clips, chokers, and iconic girl bands that shaped our preteen karaoke dreams. Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child, TLC, Britney, Christina—they weren’t just artists; they were cultural forces who told us we could “have it all.” But what does “having it all” actually mean when you’re constantly told to be confident, independent—and, oh, don’t forget, sexy

This week, we’re spotlighting the crazy-but-true realities for women journalists—spoiler: it’s not all glitz and glamour. From online harassment to the ever-present glass ceiling, the barriers are real, but so is the bravery of women breaking them down. We had the pleasure of talking to Sabeen Ahmad, a weather and community anchor with CTV and in-game host for the SK Roughriders. Right here in our hometown, Sabeen’s working to reshape this industry—bold, unapologetic, and not backing down.

Like our neighbours down south, we’re also gearing up for provincial, municipal, and school board elections in our city. So, it’s the perfect time to shine a light on the unique challenges women face in politics. And who better to talk with than Regina’s first-ever female mayor, Sandra Masters?! She shares her experiences and insights as a woman in politics, and her story reminds us of what’s possible when women break barriers and pave the way for others.

Halloween is creeping up, and in true Scaries fashion, we’re here to talk about one of our favourite holidays. Seriously, what’s Halloween without some good scaries? But today, we’re going beyond candy and costumes—we’re digging into how this spooky season has shaped women’s lives throughout history. It’s a little spooky, a little empowering, and, yes, a bit sassy. So grab your pumpkin spice latte, and let’s get into it!

With special guest Cadmus Delorme, join us as we reflect on the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation (September 30) and the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (October 4). It's crucial to face the uncomfortable truth: our country still has a long way to go. These days aren’t just dates on a calendar—they are calls to action for all of us to wake up and realize the systemic harm Indigenous communities continue to endure.

It’s back-to-school season, and whether you’re a student or a parent, this time of year brings excitement—and sometimes dread. In our season 2 premiere of The Scaries, we dive deep into the complexities of returning to school, focusing on the unique challenges that girls face today.

In the season finale of season one (HOLY MOLY! WE MADE IT!), we dive deep into the rich and often misunderstood concept of the Two-Spirit identity within Indigenous cultures. Joining us is the incredible Lori Campbell, a Two-Spirit Montreal Lake Cree Nation member who shares her wealth of knowledge and personal experiences. This episode is a powerful exploration of the cultural significance, challenges, and triumphs of Two-Spirit individuals.

Today, we're tackling a topic close to our hearts: the balancing act of work and motherhood. If you’re a mom who works (or a working mom, because, let’s be real, all moms work HARD), this episode is for you. So, buckle up as we explore how motherhood impacts our careers and mental health. We are also thrilled to welcome Wura Dasylva, a corporate commercial lawyer and mom, to share her strategies for balancing a demanding career, motherhood, and community involvement. Her advice? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Today, we're unpacking the real-life scaries and statistics surrounding mental health challenges that new mothers have faced for ages. We're thrilled to have a special guest and specialist in perinatal mental health to help us understand the severity of these issues and what we can do about it.

Today, we're diving deep into the complex world of motherhood. With Mother's Day just around the corner, and as moms and daughters ourselves, we couldn't think of a better time to shed light on this simultaneously challenging and rewarding role.

In this special episode, we join forces with the YWCA of Regina and the All Nations Hope Network to shed light on Missing Persons Week, adopting this year's theme of "Stories not statistics." It's a time to move beyond mere numbers, recognizing that each missing person represents a cherished individual, deeply missed by their loved ones. This episode serves as a tribute to their humanity.

This week, we unravel the unsettling reality that women, especially in equity-deserving and equity-seeking communities, bear the brunt of climate change's wrath. It's not just about melting ice caps and stranded polar bears; it's about how women are disproportionately affected by floods, droughts, and other climate-related disasters, often facing heightened risks and fewer resources to cope.

This week, we're pulling back the curtain on the daunting world of mental health stigma, particularly its insidious impact on women. As we navigate the intricate web of societal expectations and gender norms, we uncover the harsh truth: women often bear the brunt of discrimination and barriers when seeking mental health support. But fear not because we're armed with knowledge and resilience!

This week, we're exploring the vital role of matriarchs in Indigenous communities. With Lori Campbell, a respected Two-Spirit Montreal Lake Cree Nation member and a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Toronto, we dive into the world of Indigenous women's leadership.

PART TWO WITH THE MOMS! If you know us, you know we’re passionate about intergenerational leadership. But what exactly does that mean? It's about meaningful engagement across generations, recognizing the valuable perspectives and experiences each generation brings to the table. This week, we explore this concept further and look at how leadership transcends job titles, authority, and power, guided by the wisdom and experiences of our built-in mentors and leaders—our moms, Gwen and Marlene.

This week, we’re exploring mentorship and its profound impact on women's empowerment. With the help of a few special guests, we'll examine mentorship's importance in challenging gender disparities, fostering leadership skills, and creating a more equitable society. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of mentorship through the lens of two remarkable women—our own moms, Gwen and Marlene.

We're back with another episode shining a spotlight on Hollywood's representation—or lack thereof—of women on and off the screen. As we all know, the film industry plays a pivotal role in shaping societal norms and perceptions. From reflecting cultural values to influencing public opinion, movies hold immense power. However, despite its influence, Hollywood has long struggled with gender equality, both in front of and behind the camera.

Ready to talk about representation in hedge funds, investment banking, and equity?!

Skylar and Talitha dive deep into the daunting world of impostor syndrome, joined by Dr. Negar Golbar, PharmD, shedding light on its prevalence and impact.
