Talk Time With Sean and Shawna
Talk Time With Sean and Shawna

We debut tomorrow! Be sure to catch the first Talk Time With Sean & Shawna on St. Albert Today, thanks to Great West Media. We'll have the latest buzz in what's trending on social media, pop culture AND guidance on how to live a healthy life - emotionally, physically and financially. In our first "Living Well" panel we focus on why many people this early in the year are dealing with a "triple whammy" of financial hardships and why that's leading to some big time stress eating. (Sean Burke) says he can relate as you'll see in this video. https://www.mountainviewtoday.ca/talk-time-with-sean-and-shawna Sean Burke Shawna Randolph Emily Mardell Kelley Keehn #TalkTimeSeanShawna #TTSeanandShawna #TTSeanShawna #yegmedia #authors #onlineTV #engaging #albertamedia #influencers #talkshow #dieticians #popculture #yeginfluencers #yeg #upbeat #lifestyle #finance #yyc #business #techsafety #greatwestnews #healthyeating #uplifting #psychologists
