1.5 Million Canadian Kids Don’t Have a Doctor: Here’s the App Changing That

What happens when 1.5 million Canadian kids have no familydoctor and the emergency room is the only option? In this episode, Danielle sits down with Adam Saperia, CEOat KixCare — Canada's 24/7 virtual care platform built for kids and teens, from newborns to age 18. Adam breaks down the gaps in pediatric healthcare in Canada, how KixCare resolves 92% of cases without a single ER visit, and why working moms are disproportionately carrying the weight of a system that wasn't built for them. They also get into the parts of children's health that many benefits plans miss: mental health care, neurodivergence assessments, eating disorder support, and early intervention, plus why getting this right isn't just good for families, it's good for business.

Fertility in Canada: What’s Broken and What Can Change

Infertility affects 1 in 6 people, yet it’s still one of the most misunderstood, stigmatized, and quietly endured journeys. In this episode of Beyond the Plan, Danielle Constantine sits down with Jessica Chalk, Founder & CEO of myStoria, and Carly Malo, Head of Concierge for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what fertility care really looks like in Canada. Together, they unpack: * Why so many people don’t realize something is “wrong” until years into their journey * How self-advocacy can change outcomes, and why patients are forced to become experts * The emotional toll of infertility, pregnancy loss, and disenfranchised grief * Why fertility isn't just a women’s issue, and how men are often left without support * What employers get wrong (and right) about fertility benefits, spending accounts, and retention This episode goes deep on the realities of navigating a fragmented healthcare system, the power of education and tracking, and how platforms like myStoria are helping patients reclaim agency in one of the most vulnerable chapters of their lives. If you’re navigating fertility challenges, supporting a partner, managing benefits, or rethinking how workplaces show up for employees as humans this conversation is for you.
