| 6/29/26 | ![]() Bobbi French on Women, Rage, and Writing What's Real | Bobbi French is a Newfoundland-born author and former psychiatrist whose novels The Good Women of Safe Harbour and The Brink of Something Beautiful centre on women's friendships, women's survival, and the kind of female solidarity that doesn't make the news but keeps people alive. She joined What She Said to talk about her newest book, her white-hot fury at gender-based violence, why she left psychiatry to write fiction, and what it means to put ordinary women at the centre of a story and call it literature. This conversation goes well beyond books.LINKS Listen to more episodes:https://www.soundoff.network/show/what-she-said/episodes/ This episode's guest: https://bobbifrench.com/ Find this episode's book/work: https://www.indigo.ca/search?q=bobbi%20french Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatshesaidtalk/ Follow us on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@candace_said Girl Trips: https://girltrips.ca/roper-on-the-river/ Learn more about your ad choices.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() The Thrift Store That Builds Houses, with Sara Cooper | Most people think the ReStore is for contractors picking up spare lumber. Sara Cooper is here to tell you it is a full department store where your ten dollar lamp helps a family buy a home. Sara is the CEO of Habitat for Humanity Ottawa, and this conversation goes well beyond thrifting. We talk about the circular economy, reuse culture, and why affordable homeownership is an upstream solution to a housing crisis that is pushing ordinary Canadians to the edge. Including a woman and her young son who were living in an uninsulated trailer on her sister's property before Habitat stepped in.I do not have the cover art yet as I'm waiting for her headshot but will drop it in here ASAP Learn more about your ad choices.
