What does it take to win rights, and perhaps more importantly, what does it take to protect and preserve them?

In this episode, Heather Harris speaks with former Member of Parliament and author Peggy Nash. Together, they explore how intrepid women within the labour movement have driven progress through collective action, workplace advocacy, and political change.

From historic wins to today’s challenges, this conversation examines how feminism, workers’ rights, and economic justice continue to shape one another and why that progress can never be taken for granted.

At a time when hard-won rights feel increasingly fragile, this episode is a powerful reminder that change happens when people come together and that protecting these hard-won rights requires the same collective strength.

Key themes: feminism, labour movement, gender equality, women’s rights, collective action, workers’ rights, economic justice, social change, Canadian politics

In a culture driven by immediacy, what does it look like to create something that unfolds over a century?

In this episode, Heather speaks with Anne Beate Hovind, public art curator and producer of The Future Library, a remarkable long-term cultural project in Oslo.

Each year, an author contributes a manuscript that will remain unread until 2114, when a forest planted for the project will be harvested to print the works.

But the Future Library is about far more than books.

This episode explores the deeper ideas behind projects that span generations, the role of ritual in sustaining long-term commitments, the responsibility of stewardship across time, and how thinking beyond our own lifetimes can shift the way we approach creativity, leadership, and legacy.

It’s a conversation about patience in an impatient age, about building cultural bridges between generations, and about the quiet courage required to invest in a future we may never personally see.

In this episode, we explore the concept of the Divine Feminine with Allison McDonald Ace, holistic health practitioner, yoga instructor and author. We examine it as an ancient archetype as well as a living psychological and cultural force; one that is rooted in intuition, embodiment, creativity, and cyclical wisdom.

But why does it matter now?

Modern societies have valued dominance, speed, and control but what is lost when feminine attributes are disregarded?

This conversation is about restoring balance individually and collectively. In a time of ecological strain, political polarization, and cultural fatigue, could the return of the sacred feminine offer a more relational, regenerative way forward?

Spiritual yet grounded, ancient yet urgently contemporary, this episode invites listeners to reconsider what power really means and how we may each embody it.
