Sports, gender, and…pickleball? With Sara Weiss
We’ve spoken a fair amount on Mind Full the last few months about many aspects of gender diversity. Unfortunately, the misinformation and hatred directed at transgender and gender diverse people in both the public and political spheres continues to escalate.
Today, we wanted to speak with someone directly affected by this vitriol. Sara Weiss was targeted for her participation in the US Open pickleball tournament, and joins Eric to discuss the facts, the fiction, and the impact this has had on her directly.

Corporal Punishment and the law with Dr. Joan Durrant
The CPA recently sent a letter of support for Bill S-251, Nova Scotia Senator Stan Kutcher’s bill that would repeal Section 43 of the Criminal Code of Canada. It would make it illegal to hit children for any reason. This has been a very long, very arduous process and effort.
Dr. Joan Durrant has been campaigning for this for more than 30 years, while dozens of other countries around the world have listened to the science and the evidence and have adopted this policy. She joins us on the CPA podcast Mind Full to talk about the science, the outcomes, and the need to ban corporal punishment in Canada once and for all.
The Mind-Body Way with Dr. Julie Beaulac and Casey Berglund
Embodiment is a recognition of the way your mind and body are connected – paying attention to the signals your body sends you can help a great deal. Dr. Julie Beaulac, Casey Berglund, and Courtney Amo have written a book on the subject, specifically for leaders and bringing embodiment to a leadership role. Dr. Beaulac and Casey sit down with Mind Full to tell us about it.
