Can We Just...
Can We Just… Centers around conversations between friends, colleagues and amazing humans who care passionately about important conversations that may plant seeds for new perspectives. Vancouver-based Nicole Sjostedt takes on season 3 of the CWJ podcast and continues to build on what co-creators Nicole Sjostedt & Christina Tan and co- host on Season 2 Marlayna Pincott started. With a down to earth feel, this podcast dives into all sorts of discussions around everyday life experiences. We're no pros, no experts, but as a women in her 40s, who has lived a bit of life, there's "stuff" to talk about! Our individual experiences and all of the outstanding people I've had the pleasure of meeting along my journey, could add a lot of interesting POV's to the table. We dive deep, we are light with laughter and we keep it real.
