Belinda and Tanya dive into double standards for women in leadership, emotional intelligence, mental health, and how parents’ behavior online impacts their kids.They also explore how real-life connection — volunteering, joining local groups, having coffee with a neighbour — can build resilience in our community and help bring kindness back into everyday dialogue.If you care about Okotoks, community, or kinder conversations, this episode is for you. 💙Mayor Tanya Thorn of Okotoks - https://www.okotoks.ca/your-government/your-council/town-councilHear Right Canada – Okotoks: where better hearing starts with listening. 🌐 hearrightcanada.ca#HearMeOutWithBelinda #Okotoks #WomenInLeadership #Cyberbullying #MentalHealthMatters #CommunityConnection #KindnessOnline #HearRightCanada
