  • Caregivers: A very personal journey

    Caregivers: A very personal journey
    Nov 4 2025
    Caregiving is a subject that touches all of us at one time or another, but we don't often focus in on the realities of it, so let's open up a frank conversation around caregiving, with Kelly MacDonald and his guests. Amy Coupal, CEO of the Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO), gives us the concerning statistic’s around lack of supports for caregivers, and where to find helpful resources. Susan Palijan and Carla Velastegui, two individuals with their own caregiving journeys, offer us vulnerable perspectives into their experiences and what they've learned along the way. Whether it's children looking after aging parents, neighbours checking in on the elderly in their community, or hired support for people with disabilities, life brings us together through caregiving, and here's a chance to hear the stories of the people taking care of us.

    The Pressure of High Performance: Canada's First Women's Blind Soccer Team at the 2025 Worlds
    Oct 31 2025

    Canada’s first National Women’s Blind Soccer Team headed to Kochi, India for the 2025 IBSA Women's Blind Football World Championships, marking a memorable and surreal moment for the sport on this side of the world, and for everyone who helped build it from the ground up. We hear the sounds and stories captured over 13 days of travel, competition, and team-building. Going from grassroots to inernational competition took this group undeniable strength and sacrifice on and off the field, and we find out how it all came together for Team Canada.

  • Scarlette’s Palette: Rethinking Accessibility in Makeup

    Scarlette’s Palette: Rethinking Accessibility in Makeup
    Oct 30 2025

    Makeup is often seen as a language of self-expression but what happens when that world isn’t built for you? For World Sight Day, the Shine Foundation teamed up with Indigenous-owned Cheekbone Beauty to create Scarlette’s Palette, the first-ever tactile makeup palette designed for blind and low-vision users.

    Nisreen Abdel-Majid learns how a 14-year-old girl’s dream became a movement for inclusive design. In this roundtable conversation with Shine Foundation CEO Tiffany Houston, Cheekbone Beauty founder Jenn Harper, and Scarlette herself, we ask, what can accessible beauty feel like, and how can we get there one product at a time?
