Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Side of Motherhood that Most People Won't Speak About with Courtney Bognar from Rogue Healing
Q: What sparked your interest in pursuing perinatal mental health as a career path?
A personal miscarriage and the realization that honesty about pregnancy loss and mental health needed to be more widely discussed pushed me toward this field. I wanted to turn lived experience into a profession that helps others avoid the isolation I felt.
The Side of Motherhood that Most People Won't Speak About with Courtney Bognar from Rogue Healing
Q: Could you give my listeners a little intro? Who are you and what brought you to this work?
I am Courtney Bognar, a registered psychotherapist in Ontario, originally a teacher, who shifted into maternal mental health after experiencing perinatal challenges and recognizing gaps in support. I run Rogue Healing and work with families across Ontario, focusing on perinatal anxiety, mood disorders, and the wellbeing of both parents and children.
Breaking the Stigma Surrounding Addiction with Mark Barnes
Q: If you could change one thing about society's view of addiction, what would it be?
Treat addiction as a true mental health condition, not a character flaw or moral failing, and promote trauma-informed care and widespread access to harm-reduction tools like Naloxone.
Breaking the Stigma Surrounding Addiction with Mark Barnes
Q: What does an overdose look like and what should bystanders do?
An overdose commonly presents with unconsciousness, gurgling sounds, color changes to blue or gray, and shaking; if suspected, call 911 immediately and administer Naloxone if available while awaiting emergency responders.
Breaking the Stigma Surrounding Addiction with Mark Barnes
Q: Can you explain Naloxone and why it matters for families and communities?
Naloxone is an antidote for opioid overdoses, easily administered as a nasal spray, and it can buy critical time for help to arrive; making it accessible and reducing stigma around its use is essential for safety.
