Kind of Bold

Camille

As a woman, maybe you’ve felt dismissed by your doctor, overlooked at home or at work, or like you’re somehow never doing enough. Maybe you’ve been called too sensitive, too emotional, too talkative, or told to get over it. Kind of Bold explores what happens when we stop assuming these are personal failings and start looking at the expectations, systems, and double standards that shape women’s lives. Through candid conversations with experts and women with lived experience, host Camille unpacks the things that affect how we live, work, love, parent, and move through the world - from women’s health and motherhood to identity, relationships, resilience, and everything in between. www.kindofboldpodcast.com www.instagram.com/kindofboldpodcast

    Wait, is this perimenopause? From fertility to wisdom

    Perimenopause is something every woman will experience, yet many of us know very little about it until we're living through it. In this episode of Kind of Bold, host Camille sits down with Dr. Melissa Reinke (chiropractor and Menopause Society certified practitioner) and Dr. Tanya Kelloway (acupuncturist and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner) from the Naturally Balanced Therapy Clinic in Calgary, Alberta. Together, they unpack what perimenopause really is, why it can start as early as 35, and the wide range of symptoms; from hot flashes and brain fog to rage, anxiety, and sleep disruption. Topics include: The difference between perimenopause and menopauseHow hormonal shifts affect mood, insulin sensitivity, and bone densityNutrition, movement, and sleep strategiesA deep dive into HRT: what's available, transdermal vs. oral estrogen, and debunking the outdated breast cancer studyHow traditional Chinese medicine views this transition through yin, yang, and cycles of sevenThe "grandmother hypothesis" and why women's value extends far beyond fertilityThis conversation reframes perimenopause not as the beginning of decline, but as a natural transition; one that brings greater self-awareness, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of what our bodies need.

    The women before us: Legacy beyond the tradwife fantasy

    Traditional womanhood is trending again - but what did life really look like for the women who came before us? In this episode, Camille sits down with award-winning Canadian author Lise Mayne to unpack the realities of pioneer life, the invisible labour women have always carried, and why the tradwife fantasy overlooks history. Together, they explore intergenerational legacy, aging, resilience, motherhood, and what we inherit from the women who came before us, and what we're finally ready to leave behind.  Books mentioned in this episode: Time Enough, by Lise Mayne: From the rugged shores of the Isle of Man to the untamed wilds of 19th-century Canada, Time Enough follows the unforgettable journey of a family bound by love, tested by loss, and strengthened by hope. Available on Amazon, Indigo, and Audible.Dear Editor and Friends: Letters from Rural Women of the North-West, 1900-1920, Wilfried Laurier University Press: How did women in the early twentieth century, newly arrived in North-West Canada, cope with their strange new lives — so very different from the lives they used to lead? How did they see themselves and their role in frontier life?Yesteryear, by Cairo Claire Burke: A traditional American woman, a “tradwife” influencer, suddenly awakens in the brutal reality of 1855—where she must unravel whether this living nightmare is an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far more sinister.
