The lessons I’ve learned this year.

2023/06/30

I'd no idea when I released Episode 1 of Hear You Go that I'd release another 23 episodes! Thank you to each one of you who has listened to the episodes and come back for more. I'm going to be taking some time off this summer and will release two summer episodes instead of four, so as we come to the end of Season One (OMG!), I thought I'd share some of the lessons I've learned. You’ll hear about taking action and being consistent, about the feedback I got, about my love-hate relationship with

E23: What in the World are Grandmates and Mommunes?

Hear You Go ·

2023/06/20

Today's episode explores the different ways people are choosing to live, and by that I mean where they live and who they live with. In a sense, it's also about the communities we build. At a time when the cost of buying or renting a home is very expensive, and when many people are suffering from loneliness, should we consider other living arrangements? Let's explore some new trends and alternative ways that people are choosing to live together. You’ll hear about grandparents and their adult

E22: Put a little AWE in your life.

Hear You Go ·

2023/05/30

Hear You Go podcasts are AWESOME, aren't they? We use the adjective "awesome" a lot these days, maybe too much. It comes from the noun awe. What is awe and why should we try to put more awe in our lives? Should we wait for awe, or can we go out and find it? We'll explore these questions, and learn more about awe in today's episode. The study of awe is new, but the more we learn about it, the more scientists and psychologists are discovering that awe has many benefits. It has benefits for

What’s wrong with empathy?

Hear You Go ·

2023/05/16

Who doesn’t want to be empathetic? Isn't it a good thing to be kind and generous? Don't we all aspire to be more empathetic? Imagine my surprise when I came across a video that argued against empathy! One of the teachers in my Pronunciation for Teachers Course had a similar reaction to mine: she too was surprised by the argument that empathy might not always be a good thing. So let’s explore this argument today, an argument that is actually quite persuasive. (Here's the link if you want to watch

World Book Day

2023/04/18

Books: They might be my favourite thing to talk about. Is there really a day to celebrate books? Yes, there is, and it's coming up on April 23rd. In order to celebrate this day, I thought we'd talk about reading, why it's important, and if it matters whether we read paper books or digital books. So if you like books, stay with me for the next 15 minutes, and then I'd love to hear from YOU about why reading matters to you. Why do you read? What kind of books do you read? Do you read fiction or

It’s about time I talked about accents.

Hear You Go ·

2023/04/04

Sorry. Mum. Pasta. These are three words I don't pronounce in the same way as my friends in New Jersey, but my Canadian friends say them like I do. These two groups of friends have different accents. Accents can be a controversial topic, and by that I mean they're related to the issue of native-speakerism. I do not believe that "native" English speakers are better language teachers, not at all, and I don't believe that accents are a problem. In fact, I think accents are fascinating. What do you

E17: The Sugar Maple Tree

Hear You Go ·

2023/03/21

If you open a book about trees or google "maple trees", you will see that there are many varieties of this tree. In fact, there are over 100 different species of maple around the world, and in Canada, we have about 10 of those species. What's the most important one? The most famous one? For us in Canada, I'd say yes, it's the sugar maple, the one that gives us that delicious liquid gold we call maple syrup. How does it do that? Listen to find out. I worry though that our ability to enjoy this

Fearless Girl. Do you know about her? She's about 4 feet tall and 250 pounds. She's a tiny sculpture who made a huge splash in March of the year 2017. I adore her, and fully endorse and support the message she sends about the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of young women. Of course, I do! I'm a woman and the mother of a daughter. I'm a feminist because who doesn't support the equal rights of all people?! I'm worried about the current trend to roll back, to take away, the human rights of women in

2023/02/21

Peace by Chocolate is a movie that tells the story of a Syrian family who found community, and re-built their lives and business in Canada. It's a beautiful movie that shows how difficult it is to leave your home country and start all over again. My friend Emma, and a group of her friends in Toronto, sponsored a family from Syria in 2017, and she joins me to share that experience and tell us about how the family is doing today. We recorded this episode before the horrific earthquake in Syria

Roses and chocolates? My Instagram feed is full of ads showing beautiful bouquets of flowers, and delicate, tasty chocolates and desserts. Pink and red everywhere. I like flowers and chocolates, but I don't really like Valentine's Day. So let's avoid it, and talk about "love languages" instead. Have you heard of "love languages"? I hadn't until I read a funny news story about them a year ago. I've included the link to it below, as well as a quiz you can take to figure out your love

Dr. Seuss liked kids and treated them with respect. Kids are people, just small people. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is 33 years old, and it was created to make sure that governments around the world treat children as people with human rights. In this episode, I'll share a little history about the convention, and why it was and is necessary, as well as some good news that I hope will inspire us to keep working and make life better for all kids.
