Reframeables
Do you feel alone in your own head when it comes to navigating life’s big and small problems? Do you find self-care language a little too self-focused but know you still need to do the work? Join us on Reframeables and eavesdrop your way into some new perspectives — we promise you'll feel less alone as you listen. We are Nat and Bec, two very different sisters who come together each week to reframe some of life's big and small stuff. Nat's a PhD whose favourite phrase is “let’s reframe that!” Bec's an artist who tends more toward “why me?” Through candid, vulnerable yet entertaining conversations with each other, as well as guests, we find a way to meet in the middle each week and offer you, our listeners, new perspectives along the way. From a painful divorce that still needs processing, to grief that sticks around, to the simple day-to-day problems of managing a grumpy teenager, to a dynamic interview with Giller winner Ian Williams or radio personality and co-star of the Jann Arden podcast Caitlin Green sharing her vulnerable story of loss: Join our intimate conversations with authors, actors, activists, and voices from the crowd — those who inspire us to think differently about the world so we can reframe living in it.

Rewind! Reframing Place-Based Memories
We’ve gone back to the beginning dear Reframeables! Back to where it all began — because sometimes you have to look back to move forward.
In this episode Nat and Bec introduce their “exceptional” details — who, what, where, including the frenemy relationship between their cats. Then they dive into some place-based memories that need reframing. For Nat it’s their childhood shed that Bec locked her in (she made Rebecca do it!); for Bec it’s the Starbucks at SickKids Hospital in Toronto where she spent a lot time during her daughter’s heart surgery.
They play the “do you remember when?” game throughout and come to the realization that starting small when it comes to reframing place-based memories is helpful. They might not be able to fix the whole place, but they can “attack” the memory room by room, turning them into waters they want to swim in.
