Working Mom Running for Mayor!

Send us Fan Mail **WORKING MOM RUNNING FOR MAYOR!** What does it take to be a working mother, balance family responsibilities, and run for Mayor of Toronto? In this episode of the **Finding Wendy Podcast**, I sit down with **Sarah McVie**, a candidate for Mayor of Toronto, for an engaging and candid conversation about her life, her motivation for entering politics, and her vision for the future of our city. We discuss the challenges facing Toronto, the importance of accountability at City Hall, and why residents deserve a stronger voice in decisions that affect their communities. As a retired professional orchestral musician who spent 20 years performing in Europe and another 20 years in Canada, I was particularly interested in discussing Toronto's arts and cultural landscape. We explore the financial challenges facing musicians and arts organizations, the city's changing demographics, and how Toronto can better support its creative communities while engaging new and diverse audiences. **In this episode, we explore:** - Sarah's journey as a working mother and mayoral candidate. - Why she decided to enter municipal politics. - Accountability, leadership, and responsible management of city resources. - The challenges facing Toronto's neighbourhoods and communities. - The future of Toronto's arts, culture, and live music scene. - Building a more inclusive, accessible, and vibrant city. Whether you're interested in Toronto politics, the arts, or simply hearing the personal stories behind the people who want to shape our future, I hope you'll enjoy this conversation. **Finding Wendy is about discovering the stories, experiences, and people who make life interesting.** Subscribe to the Finding Wendy Podcast for more candid conversations about life, culture, creativity, and the people making a difference. **Learn more about Sarah McVie:** https://mayormcvie.ca #FindingWendyPodcast #SarahMcVie #TorontoMayor #TorontoPolitics #TorontoElection #WorkingMom #WomenInLeadership #TorontoArts #TorontoCulture #PodcastInterview ☕️ **Support the Podcast — Buy Me a Coffee!** If you’ve been inspired, informed, or simply kept company by the *Finding Wendy Podcast* (aka *Wellness & Willpower*), consider showing your support by **buying me a coffee**!
