Seasoned & Smiling: Finding Strength, Humour, and Joy with Angie Sandow
2025-11-20 13:30 - 14:30 | Wasaga Beach Public Library, 544 River Road West, Wasaga Beach, ON, L9Z 2P1, Canada
What happens when life keeps telling you what you can’t do — and you decide to do it anyway?

In Seasoned & Smiling, author, musician, and inspirational humourist Angie Sandow takes audiences on an unforgettable journey through challenge, change, and laughter.
Drawing from her powerful memoir From Chemo to Throttle, Angie shares how grit, determination, and a healthy sense of humour helped her overcome life’s obstacles — from being born with a limb difference and facing workplace bias to navigating breast cancer and redefining what strength truly looks like.
Now, Angie is turning her attention to another familiar label: “you’re getting old.” With her trademark wit and honesty, she challenges the notion that aging makes us irrelevant. Instead, she celebrates it as a time of rediscovery, purpose, and joy — a stage of life where wisdom, confidence, and a touch of nerve inspire us to live on our own terms.
Through stories that are heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply human, Angie reminds us that resilience and humour don’t fade with age — they grow stronger. Audiences will leave feeling uplifted, ready to laugh a little louder, and inspired to keep moving forward, proving that no matter the road, there’s always fuel in the tank for another adventure.
Signed copies of Angie’s memoir From Chemo to Throttle will be available for purchase.

Laugh, learn and listen. Step away from life’s noise through nature.

Raven Murphy—speaker, seasoned nature guide, and author of Shut Up and Listen—invites audiences to rediscover how nature can ease stress, spark clarity, and restore perspective. With her candid, funny, and heartfelt style, Raven blends storytelling with hands-on experiences that make every talk feel more like an adventure than a lecture—proving mindfulness doesn’t require gurus, yoga mats, or candles, just fresh air and an open mind.
Drawing on insights from her book—like “Nature’s Your Therapist—No Waiting Room Required” and “Branching Out in Style”—Raven shows how ordinary encounters outdoors carry extraordinary wisdom. Expect an engaging, campfire-style session that leaves you recharged, inspired, and ready to see both nature and yourself in a whole new way.
Signed copies of Raven’s books will be available for purchase following the event.
About the AuthorRaven Murphy is a speaker, author, and nature guide who helps people slow down, laugh more, and reconnect with the outdoors. She’s the author of Shut Up and Listen: A No-BS Guide to Unlocking Nature’s Wisdom and its companion, The Winter Edition: Snow, Slush, and Sanity—books that mix humour and insight to make nature feel accessible to everyone.
Known for her candid and relatable approach, Raven shows that you don’t need to be an expert hiker or meditation master to benefit from nature’s calm. As she says, “When you give nature your attention, it gives you back calm, clarity, confidence, and a sense of belonging you can’t find anywhere else.”
When she’s not writing or speaking, Raven leads immersive walks, crafts nature-inspired music and meditations, and proves that nature has plenty to teach—if you’re ready to Shut Up and Listen. She makes her home on the shores of Georgian Bay, where nature remains her constant companion and greatest teacher.www.ravenspeaks.ca
