About Our Guest
Toni is a 20-year-old, male-identifying, openly transgender funeral student currently going through an accredited Canadian mortuary Program. He works part-time at an independent retirement living complex as a housekeeper and friend and volunteers with Dying With Dignity Canada. Toni believes that it’s never too early in life to start talking about your own death and about the deaths of others. And how all genders need to be involved in the conversations.

Episode 47 – Overcoming Bullying
The trauma of racial bullying can continue affecting people of colour for a long time. Jade Pattenden, who was born in Scotland and then moved to Canada at a young age, has used advice and techniques that she read in self-help books to overcome the trauma of bullying and even find empathy towards those who bullied her.
In this episode, we chat with Jade about moving forward after bullying and discovering that what you were bullied for can be your biggest asset.

Stevie never expected to have a sexual awakening in her mid-forties, especially one that involved men in their 20’s.

However, things didn’t quite go as planned and before she knew it, she had a whole bunch of young men knocking at her door.
