I was interviewed by the awesome @amberlym for a piece in the @globeandmail on the roll back of remote work and how this will impact working mothers. The employment gains Canadian women made coming out of the pandemic are at risk of being lost. theglobeandmail.com/life/adv…
When companies force workers back to the office, working moms are left behind

Return-to-office orders are forgetting - or ignoring - the needs of working moms

If we want parenting parity, let’s start by giving equal credit where it’s deserved

Attendance was DOWN at the Calgary Stampede this year. I wonder if it's because people don't want to see horses and cows be abused and die in rodeo events? Stampede should go animal-free. ctvnews.ca/calgary/article/c…

As parents, we impart our values through the food we serve. But we should learn - and teach our kids, too - that tolerance and integrity can both sit at the table

Not to be a buzzkill, but moms shouldn’t need to drink wine to find real community

I was so steeped in ‘wine mom’ culture that I couldn’t see the truth: We are partaking in toxic, risky - and socially encouraged - behaviour to cope with the demands of modern motherhood

"What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us." Extraordinary, unprecedented statement by a prime minister of Canada, talking about a president of the United States. And entirely justified.

Trudeau: "I heard he talked about banking again this morning in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country, so American banks are alive and well and prospering in Canada. It's an example of not really being able to see what he wants ... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

The United States just voted alongside Russia against a Ukrainian amendment in the United Nations General Assembly, which called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. The United States is now actively supporting Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory.

Can good moms also be selfish people? My attempt: theglobeandmail.com/life/par…
I want to be a more self-centred mom. But is selfish motherhood even possible?

I want to be a more self-centred mom. But is selfish motherhood even possible?

The tropes of moms who lose their identity in motherhood are plentiful, and the societal reasons women are not supposed to put themselves first are purposeful

It’s a season of magic, yes - but also one of grief, gratitude and appreciation for the things we no longer have
