SEGMENT 1 — Jannah Haas | Pelvic Floor Health: Common Doesn't Mean Normal

Physical therapist and Haas Health founder Jannah Haas explains how stress can affect the pelvic floor, jaw, neck and shoulders. She discusses symptoms people may dismiss as part of aging, why pelvic floor muscles can be both tight and weak, and why more Kegels are not always the answer. The conversation offers hope that assessment, appropriate treatment and nervous-system regulation can make a difference.

SEGMENT 3 — Kelsey Loney | The Forgotten Women of World War II

Historian Kelsey Loney shares how her grandmother's wartime journey from Saskatchewan to British Columbia inspired her research into the Women's Land Army. Women travelled to help fill farm-labour shortages, often working long days to support the war effort. This segment also looks at the contributions of children and the often-unrecognized work of women on farms.



SEGMENT 4 — Kelsey Loney | Remembrance Day: The Stories We Must Never Forget



Kelsey reflects on what returning home after the Second World War meant for veterans and their families: joyous reunions alongside grief, change and difficult stories that were not always shared. She discusses why Remembrance Day continues to matter for veterans of different generations, and how wearing a poppy, attending a service or remembering quietly can honour their service.
