Without Losing
Your Cool

The Unfiltered Podcast

With Shantelle Bisson

Without Losing Your Cool Unfiltered is a lifestyle show where you'll feel seen and heard. It is that gentle reminder that you are not alone on this beautiful complex, wonderful journey called life.

And I, Shantelle Bisson am your host for this adventure: I'm a 55 year old serial entrepreneur, a three time author, mother to three adult daughters and married for more than three decades. Good things come in threes.

My motto is: "Life is messy, but we don't have to be." Every WLYC Unfiltered podcast episode explores this truth: That anything is possible when we build a strong community around ourselves. And when we also remember, to live life, and find the silver lining and humour in the stuff that we take too seriously.
