The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

How to Speak Canadian (Slang Edition) 2:39

Thinking of moving to Canada? Let me help you decode the wild world of Canadianisms—because trust me, “yeah, no” doesn’t mean what you think it means. In this video, I’ll explain a sentence so Canadian it might as well come with a double-double and a hockey fight. From “chirping” to “skookum,” learn how to talk like a true Canuck without embarrassing yourself at the rink. 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news 🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com ☕ Like my stuff?

Littlest Hobo: When Doing Good Is Enough 6:20

I grew up with The Littlest Hobo—a show every Canadian over 35 remembers. No big budget, no explosions—just relentless decency. In this video, I explore how this simple show about a dog became a blueprint for Canadian values: humility, kindness, and quiet strength. 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news 🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com ☕ Like my stuff?

Donald Trump keeps calling Canada’s military weak. I’m here to set the record straight—with the story of how Canadian troops liberated the Netherlands in WWII, and earned a nation’s eternal gratitude. From Princess Margriet’s birth on Canadian soil to the tulips blooming in Ottawa, this isn’t just history—it’s proof that strength isn’t measured by volume, but by values. 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news 🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com ☕ Like my stuff?

Clause for Concern 6:58

6 weeks ago6:58

6:58

The Notwithstanding Clause was Canada's constitutional compromise: intended as a rare exception, it's becoming dangerously routine. Pierre Poilievre's promise to invoke it raises troubling questions. Can fundamental rights be genuinely protected if politicians hold a permanent veto? 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news 🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com ☕ Like my stuff?

The Left Keeps Losing. And I Know Why. 4:50

4:50

I’m tired of pretending strategic voting is normal. In this video, I break down how vote splitting under first-past-the-post keeps wrecking elections—especially in Canada—and why picking the “lesser evil” candidate isn’t democracy. I explain how ranked choice voting, approval voting, and other reforms can stop this madness and finally let us vote for what we believe in without handing power to the party we hate. 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news 🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com ☕ Like my stuff?

When Democracy Drowns in Decibels 7:48

Sometimes, silence changes everything. This video explores two Canadian protests that used quiet, not chaos, to challenge power. From a lone Senate page with a stop sign to a Cree politician who said "No" with an eagle feather, we examine how stillness can shake institutions—and what Americans might learn from it. 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news 🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com ☕ Like my stuff?

Vimy Ridge: Where a Nation Was Revealed 6:38

108 years ago, Canadian soldiers climbed a fortified ridge in France and changed the course of a nation. They weren’t trained warriors — they were farmhands, miners, teenagers. At Vimy Ridge, they faced machine guns, barbed wire, and impossible odds. What happened next forged Canada's identity in blood and fire. 📰 Get my newsletter — https://farandwide.news 🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com ☕ Like my stuff?

Canadian politics is now officially a kids' show. Mark Carney is the Friendly Giant in a blazer. Poilievre is Rusty the Rooster with a grudge. Singh? Jerome the Giraffe—earnest, sidelined.
