November is Diabetes Awareness Month and Reba Redmond, a diabetes and mental health advocate from London, Ontario shares some of the realities around living with Type 1 diabetes and shatters a few myths as well. Aly Pain is back to discuss the issue of your teens privacy and their use of social media. At the heart of the issue is trust building. Aly explains how to start the conversation early, and how to get back on track later in the teen years. The holidays are just around the corner and if you’re feeling a little unmotivated with holiday baking, Corinna Odorico from Breville Canada joins me to share some sweet ways to still take part in a cookie swap this year and some other very creative ways to use your stand mixer. She also shares details on a hot gift to put under the tree for yourself this year. Anne Brodie has entertainment that moves from from dark and melancholy with shows like Black Narcissus and The Sound of Metal to light and fluffy with holiday makeovers on Netflix and a new movie with Dolly Parton who is cast as an angel which somehow feels fitting for the woman we all love to love. Pandemic Pets have been a huge part of 2020 and the need for companionship is high. People everywhere are seeking a pet to call their own, but as we lockdown indoors with them some people will start to suffer allergic reactions, particularly to cat.
