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.

It’s the final episode of Season 1 of the Without Losing Your Cool Podcast and I couldn’t think of anyone better to help me close out this season other than my amazing husband Yannick Bisson.


I’ll admit it, I was a bit nervous to have him on the show! I ask him the questions you all want to know, and that he never gets asked in interviews.

020. Becoming Good Financial Role Models ft. Robin Taub

Growing up, I always found money to be something that was hard to get, that it goes as fast as it comes. Even when we started to make more money as the years went on, I still had that lingering belief of ‘what if it’s not enough.’


This is why today’s conversation is SO important, our kids need to learn how to reframe their own beliefs about money too! If you're a parent, this is for you. If you’re thinking about becoming a parent, this episode is for you. And if you are somebody like me, who, when you weren't a parent, you didn't learn about money at home, this episode is for you.
