September is for fresh starts – and that can mean stepping into top jobs. From tights that don’t rip (@SheertexLabs) to global finance (@Mastercard ), leaders like Sophie Boulanger, @Ailish_Campbell & Mary Falconer are shaping what’s next.
We are thrilled to announce that Canada’s Ambassador to the United States, @KirstenHillmanA, will receive the 2025 The Honest Talk Leadership Award, in recognition of her exceptional contributions to advancing gender equality and empowering women. Congratulations, Ambassador!
What happens when you go from “plus-one” to “party of one”? Too often, single women are quietly left off the dinner party list – a reminder that the “Couples Club” still exists. New from @Dianne_Rinehart on The Honest Talk! thehonesttalk.ca/honest-thought…
Leadership isn’t about comfort – it’s about showing up, breaking barriers, and creating change. Lieutenant-General Lise Bourgon has done all of that and more in her groundbreaking career with the @CanadianForces. Check out our full podcast interview: thehonesttalk.ca/podcasts/lieut…
“I’ve been in this body for 30 years… shouldn’t I understand it by now?” Today, our editor shares how she realized her own health still feels like a mystery – and connects it to a much bigger issue: the lack of tools and education women are given when it comes to their bodies.
Rapid growth is exciting – but it can be a financial minefield. In our Q&A, Rebecca Pang, Regional VP at @RBC, shares how founders can navigate cash flow challenges, use debt strategically & avoid the missteps that stall growth. thehonesttalk.ca/impact/strateg…
This month, we’re rounding up the things our team can’t stop raving about, from the everyday essentials to the unexpected delights we didn’t know we needed. ⬇️ thehonesttalk.ca/life/what-our-…

As the debate around hybrid work heats back up in #Ontario, it’s clear the outcome will have ripple effects across the workforce. But, as we’ve covered on The Honest Talk, studies show one group may be especially affected by the decisions ahead: Women. thehonesttalk.ca/impact/hybrid-…
From record-breaking swims to sold-out hockey arenas, Canadian women athletes are redefining what’s possible – and changing the game for the next generation. Now, even @Barbie is getting in on the celebration: @Mattel has released @thepwhlofficial dolls! thehonesttalk.ca/culture/girls-…
For most of her 20s, Hailey Hechtman tied her self-worth to her reflection, chasing an ever-shifting idea of “perfection.” In a powerful essay, the Executive Director of @unsinkable shares how she moved from fixation to self-compassion – and found healing by telling her story.
New on The Honest Talk podcast: @christyclarkbc joins us to talk leadership, resilience, motherhood – and mixing a top-tier cocktail! As B.C.’s first woman elected Premier, she shares what it took to lead, speak truth, and raise a son in the public eye.
From offices to online spaces, women are still being underestimated, mistreated & overlooked. At The Women's Summit, we revealed findings from the What Women Want survey – and the message was clear. thehonesttalk.ca/impact/the-pow…
After years of chasing waves around the world, Mikka Zeisig found her surf revival in the last place she expected – the Ottawa River. ⬇️
Melodie Reynolds didn’t just want to start a beauty brand – she wanted to start a movement. After walking away from the industry, she built Elate, a Canadian makeup brand rooted in sustainability, transparency, and intention.⤵️ thehonesttalk.ca/impact/melodie…
We're sharing the items that have earned a spot in our shopping carts this month! From summer drinks to skincare, take a look at what we've been buying this July. ⤵️
If you grew up feeling the effects of “bikini body” headlines and “who wore it worse” pages – you’re not alone. A new @Dove survey shows just how deeply early 2000s body culture impacted millennial women, and why it still lingers today. ⤵️ thehonesttalk.ca/culture/75-of-…
We’re stepping into the sultry, smoky world of jazz in this episode of The Honest Talk podcast – and who better to guide us than the incomparable Holly Cole? thehonesttalk.ca/podcasts/canad…
