Real Talk with Michelle Budiwski

While our live stream Weekly Round Up with Colin and Michelle had some technical difficulties (OK - I had some difficulties), it didn't stop Colin Sundaynight and I from jumping on a call and recording our conversation to share with you!
It wasn't live but it is raw, unedited and as usual, entertaining!
From what I would do if I had a time machine, DR. Oz being placed in charge of the US Medicare, why Pollievre wasn't prepared for Carney Oprah Winfrey, Don Cherry and Ed the Sock this week's round up had a little bit of everything!
These are the real conversations happening in households all across our country right now... Raw, Engaging authentic lived experiences.
Join in the conversation and let us hear you thoughts!
And don't forget to follow Real Talk AIR and tune in to our show Sunday nights on Amherst Island Radio 101.3 FM

The Canada-US trade war is heating up, and many of us are rethinking where we spend our money. Shopping local, buying Canadian, and avoiding certain US-based corporations sounds great in theory—but let’s be real, no one is going to get it 100% right. And that’s okay.
In this episode of REAL TALK, we’re diving into:
- How to shift our buying habits without guilt or pressure.
- Why progress matters more than perfection—because shaming people doesn’t help.
- The difference between ethical boycotts and harmful hostility—protesting Elon Musk is one thing, but vandalizing Teslas or attacking people who own his products? That’s not the move.
This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about making conscious choices without turning on each other. Let’s focus on progress, grace, and community as we navigate this together.
Listen now! And tell us—are you changing your buying habits? What challenges are you facing? Drop a comment!

Originally recorded on October 19, 2020 as Michelle celebrates twenty years free of opioids and narcotics, she shares her message of hope for those struggling with metal health and addiction.

The relationships we have with others are directly impacted by our relationship with ourselves. We cannot begin to truly love others until we love ourselves. Sit back, relax and let me guide you into a space of self love and acceptance.

We all have a voice inside of our heads, you know the one... sometimes it encourages us to expand our experiences, take chances and live with pure joy.
Unfortunately it also (far too often) stops us in our tracks with the BUTs... but what if, but what about?
BUT BUT BUT It's time to shut your BUT and take control of your life, living it to the fullest!
Recorded in 2020!!!

By definition, mothers, mother. We take care of everyone and often forget to take care of ourselves.
