Women Talk Calgary Presents: WHEN LIFE CHANGES EVERYTHING

www.womentalk.ca Calgary Presents:
WHEN LIFE CHANGES EVERYTHING
Some moments split life into two chapters…before and after.

A diagnosis.
A phone call.
A loss.
A truth you never saw coming.
And somehow… through heartbreak, fear, uncertainty, and change…women still find a way to rise.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of courage, healing, resilience, and the incredible strength of the human spirit.
This is a night for anyone who has ever faced the unexpected...and wondered how to keep moving forward.

TALKers


Cheryl Tessari

Two Years to Live… Then She Rewrote the Story
After surviving breast cancer, Cheryl was faced with another devastating diagnosis: Rapid Diffuse Scleroderma, and was told she had just two years to live.
Instead of surrendering to fear, Cheryl chose resilience, faith, and the power of the mind. Today, she shares her deeply personal journey through immense physical, emotional, and mental challenges while offering hope and tools to help others navigate adversity in their own lives.
A two-time breast cancer survivor, stem cell transplant recipient, licensed hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, and medium, Cheryl’s story is a powerful reminder that even in life’s darkest moments… hope still exists.


Bonnie Earl

ALS: The Teacher I Never Asked For
Bonnie Earl is a women’s empowerment coach, speaker, author, podcaster, and lifelong educator whose life changed forever through her husband’s ALS diagnosis.
What began as heartbreak became a profound journey of awakening, surrender, courage, and rediscovering purpose through adversity.
Through honesty, compassion, and wisdom, Bonnie inspires women to trust their inner strength and embrace life’s changes with grace. She is the author of ALS My Greatest Teacher: A Journey of Awakening, Loving, Surrendering and a contributing author to When Women Talk.
Of all her accomplishments, Bonnie is most proud to be a mom and nana.


Emcee: Brigitte Lessard
Brigitte Lessard is a storyteller, entrepreneur, and the founder of Women Talk and SPORTSBRAS.CA. For over 25 years, she’s been in the business of support… the kind you feel on your body, and the kind you feel in your life. She’s known for bringing heart, humour, and real-life truth to every room she walks into… and for making women feel seen, heard, and just a little bit unstoppable.
I don’t sell bras — I sell support.

I don’t host events — I support women’s voices.
Two businesses. ONE mission.

Because sometimes life changes everything…but so can one story.
One connection.
One room full of women who understand.

Come for the stories.
Stay for the sisterhood.
