In this episode, we recap our favourite moments from Season 4 and let you know what to expect in Season 5.

Like any regular episode, we start with our Check-ins. Then we move into the Cause For Applause segment - Victoria is pleased about feeling stronger as she recently hired a new personal trainer. Shadoe is happy about reaching out to her former hair stylist after years of cutting her own hair!


What makes a kick-off episode different?
Instead of sharing regrets we share the lessons we've learned along the way of this podcast experiment.  We are so honoured that our guests from last season shared incredible stories,  including 

• ALEX (opened up about advocating for the help and healing she needed) 
• LOUISE (being a mop trying to clean an ocean) 
• SAM (trusting the people around us) 
• NADIA (sensitivity is a gift)  
• JYOTI/GEET (deleted her book)

As always, our conversation went on a few tangets, including: 

• Oversharing as a mask for true vulnerability 
• Capability vs. Capacity
• Tampons are taboo but bandages are normal
• Purpose of the podcast
• Why we "Choose the Bear"

We also review the feedback and questions received about the #metoo episode - some of it was surprising; and, showcased why it is still necessary to keep the conversation going. 


Then, the episode ends with 3 Breaths, Refreshed for Season 5.
