From toxins in tampons, to the constant battles that those with endometriosis fight, it can be challenging to advocate for ourselves within systems and within a society that has not and does not prioritize women’s health. Yet, in spite of this, we always know that we can count on other women. The Women’s Health Coalition is an organization that is “advancing a movement to speak openly, learn, and engage, to address barriers, gaps, and biases in menstrual, reproductive, and sexual health.” We ...

This is it! For our final episode, we're honoured to continue our conversation with Carmen Wyton, chair and founder of the Women's Health Coalition to talk about HPV and breast health. HPV Report Clinical Resources from WHC Join the coalition, become a member Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod

Being a learner can be fun, especially when it comes to sex! We talk to Ashley Barclay from Volupta Sex Coaching about sex as an integral part to our overall well-being, why communication is central to good sex, and what myths simply aren’t true!

Looking after ourselves is often viewed as an add-on, a reward, or hope for the future. It’s rare that we tune into the information our bodies are giving us until we’re starving, exhausted, or sick. And simply forget about honouring your spirit or tuning into what your souls need until vacation! Nora Weston-Stuart has created an online space that focuses on holistic wellness for teachers, but much of what she explores is relevant to every person moving through the world. Follow us on In...

More and more women are finding themselves in doctor’s offices and fertility clinics trying to do the one thing they did everything to avoid in their teens and 20s: getting pregnant. Thankfully, many are sharing their stories of the wait times, the frustration, but also of the immense joy. And we’re so grateful to hear a story of one woman taking the fertility path on her own.

As Millennials, we love to search for labels and systems to help us understand ourselves, but this can sometimes create a maze of lingo with no ‘aha’ in sight. We have our counselors and therapists on call, but find that we’re stuck in the same narratives and leave feeling frustrated. So what if we were able to integrate our tools and systems and feel more empowered in the process? We are joined by Jaime McClintock, life and purpose coach with Kindred Roots Therapy to understand more about hu...

We would argue that our relationship with our hair stylist is just as important as our significant others - sorry guys. And although we haven’t been through couple’s counseling, we know there’s some shit we’ve got to work through. We’ve done enough personal growth and reflection to know that our generation’s co-dependence and habitual people-pleasing could get in the way of our best hair and we can’t go back to the trauma of box dye and highlight caps.

Alyssa and Megan take a trip down memory lane when it comes to their relationships to alcohol. Although a lot has changed, there’s still an ongoing internal and external dialogue about the role that substances have in their lives. Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod

We are often in awe of the people in our lives who are mothers. It seems like so much has changed in the way that people are parenting, but one thing hasn’t, and it’s how much that it changes people’s lives. We asked our mom friends what they have space for and what they don’t. What can be flexible and what’s non-negotiable? We’re so grateful for their candor and their time.

It's a first for Millennial 911 - a SOLO episode. Alyssa shares an epiphany she had this past summer about how good it felt to ask for help, and asks the question: "Why don't I do this more often?" She invites a few close friends to share their experiences with asking for help and taps into the strength it takes to go there. Need help and don't know where to start? Visit Access Mental Health (Alberta Health Services) to find information or a service that's right for you. Follow us on I...

When it comes to our money, we’re either in a state of denial or panic. We only live once, and deserve to enjoy our hard earned money when we can, but at the same time, we fear that we won’t have enough funds saved to enjoy retirement. Should we be adopting the same savings plans as our parents or taking on a new approach? Help! Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod

Are millennials caring less about politics at a time when we should care more than ever? No one wants to admit apathy, but the current state of affairs, out of touch officials, and disconnected career politicians make it harder than ever to fulfill our democratic duties. Even though this feels true, it also doesn’t feel okay. How can we reignite our trust and the torch from the generations before us? Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod

As aging millennials, we’re caught between combating any physical sign we’re getting older and radically accepting the reality of where we are in life. With more financial freedom we can access products or procedures that might help maintain our youthful looks, but there’s also a heightened awareness about what we’re putting in and on our bodies. We simply cannot win. We’ve called in a first responder to help us get over our hangups and do whatever the hell we want with our faces. Follow Nat...

Maybe it’s perfectionism or maybe it’s Maybelline, but there’s a nagging feeling that the cis and straight community are getting it wrong with allyship when it comes to drag. Has respect for drag caught up with our access to it? Are we doing it right?! Do the masses deserve this magic or are we going to wreck it?! Our first responder this week is Addi Pose and she shares her journey and experiences as a drag artist. Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod

We came back to where the concept for Millennial 911 all began, the Elbow River. And set our intentions for how we want to move into season two. Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod

For our summer mini episodes we’re giving our first responders a break, and instead, putting a bandaid on a current emergency: why aren’t we talking about poop more? We grew up hearing that “girls don’t poop”, but like, we do, and we’re trying to be good at it. Alyssa thinks she’s cracked the code and Megan is doing her best to figure it out.

For our summer mini episodes we’re giving our first responders a break, and instead, putting a bandaid on a current emergency: what if we don’t want to hate-on the younger generations? We’re bravely breaking the tradition of claiming that whatever generation you belong to is superior and giving Gen Z some well-deserved compliments. Instead of another “kids these days” rant, here is an ode to why we love their style, boundaries, and attitude. Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod

For our summer mini episodes we’re giving our first responders a break, and instead, putting a bandaid on a current emergency: should we be forcing ourselves to be social out of fear that we’re becoming reclusive? We weigh the pros and cons of being alone, while comparing our social lives and how we’ve grown to be more comfortable with giving ourselves what we need. Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod

For our summer mini episodes we’re giving our first responders a break, and instead, putting a bandaid on a current emergency: if we want to live long and stay healthy, is getting angry the answer? Inspired by reactions to Ariana Madix on Vanderpump Rules season 11, and coloured by our own experiences, we explore why we might feel vilified instead of celebrated for expressing ourselves.

While it might be a wrap on season 1, it doesn't mean we're slowing down! In this episode, we open up the trusty notes app and get into what we've got planned for season 2. We'll be back with episodes this summer, and until then, head over to our Instagram and let us know what you think about these emergencies or ones you'd like us to tackle — we'd love to hear it!
