We believe that every voice matters and is needed to create new opportunities, solutions, and positive change. We all come from different backgrounds and we need to utilize our different experiences as an opportunity to learn from others to fill our minds with new perspectives. This mindset needs to be incorporated into our workforce because the results are innovative ideas, diverse conversations, and creative solutions.
That’s why we are saying Cheers to Soul Sister Conversations.
Elaine Shannon and Dana Lloyd are the minds behind the Soul Sister Conversations - The Podcast. Their podcast has enabled new conversations and new thinking for all of us who have become avid listeners. They have produced 56 episodes with topics from “It's Cool To Be A Girl with Alaina Lockhart, former Member of Parliament” to “The Impact of Personal Development of on Your Life & Business with Elizabeth Rowe”. Their guests have been diverse coming from different backgrounds, gender, age, and cultural ethnicity’s. They have interviewed people near and far and it’s been a journey for everyone involved. As Elaine likes to say “they followed the breadcrumbs” to see where it would lead them, and we have ALL benefited from this.
What we love about Elaine and Dana is they love to have fun! Their joy of learning and interviewing shines through their podcast and it makes listening equally as enjoyable. Podcasts are an amazing tool to enable social change through storytelling and diverse conversations. Each voice matters and we’ve been learning that this is an important element to equity.

Elaine and Dana, we THANK YOU for your courage for starting Soul Sister Conversations - The Podcast, for putting yourselves out there and celebrating each of your guest’s unique and individual voices. We are GRATEFUL for the opportunity to laugh and learn with you! While Elaine is retiring from the Soul Sister Conversations - The Podcast, we’re excited that Dana will continue on.
