Mary, along with her daughter Paige, is the owner and creative force behind <a data-mce-href="http://www.thebarnherschel.ca/" href="http://www.thebarnherschel.ca/">"The Barn,"</a> a unique venue nestled in the heart of the prairies. This beautiful property has become a haven for wellness journeys, special celebrations, and cherished memories.Mary recounts a day that began routinely but quickly turned into a tragedy, as her 7-year-old son Wade was rushed to a hospital over an hour and a half away. In this heartfelt episode, Mary describes the shock and emotional turmoil of watching her son lose his life just days later. She also shares the profound impact of deciding to donate Wade’s organs, a choice that not only saved lives but also aided her own healing journey. Mary speaks candidly about the difficult months and years that followed, detailing how she coped with her grief and supported her teenage daughter through "Survivor Syndrome." She also opens up about the challenges of living with a loved one battling addiction, as her husband turned to drugs and alcohol to numb his pain. Mary’s life was plunged into chaos and uncertainty as she struggled to help him break free from these addictions. Be inspired by Mary’s resilience and determination as she recounts how, after becoming a widow in her fifties, she and Paige accomplished what many would deem impossible. Together, they transformed a 100-year-old barn into a versatile space that hosts everything from weddings to Halloween mazes to extravagant Mother’s Day High Teas. Their vision, a supportive community, and their ingenuity in repurposing discarded materials have all contributed to creating something truly remarkable. <a data-mce-href="https://soundcloud.com/debbie_mcculloch/older-bolder-ep-16-little-barn-on-the-prairie-with-mary-sawatzky?si=1cbb44dc094545fab2ca57309546bb55&amp;utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=social_sharing" href="https://soundcloud.com/debbie_mcculloch/older-bolder-ep-16-little-barn-on-the-prairie-with-mary-sawatzky?si=1cbb44dc094545fab2ca57309546bb55&amp;utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=social_sharing">Mary’s story</a> is a powerful reminder that nothing is impossible if we believe in ourselves and persist through life’s challenges.

We're joined by the multi-talented <a data-mce-href="https://margietaylor.com/" href="https://margietaylor.com/">Margie Taylor</a>, a name synonymous with creativity and eloquence. Margie, who has graced the airwaves for three decades as a radio host, newscaster, and producer, invites us into the rhythmic cadence of her life's journey, spanning the breadth of Canada and crossing the Atlantic in pursuit of her broadcasting dreams.In an era when the voice of a woman reading the news was a fresh sound, Margie not only embraced this role but flourished, interviewing a myriad of guests and evolving alongside the dynamic landscape of radio journalism. Her career is a tapestry woven with vibrant threads of change, challenge, and charisma.Beyond the microphone, Margie reveals a compelling draw towards the written word that she could no longer ignore. The transition from spoken to written stories led her to become a celebrated author. She shares the poignant tale of penning a novel rooted in the tragic death of a friend—a mystery from the seventies that beckoned her to explore and expose the truth decades later. This journey through fact and memory showcases her meticulous research and the emotional depth of revisiting a somber past.Margie opens up about the personal peaks and valleys that have shaped her narrative—from the profound impact of her mother's battle with multiple sclerosis and early demise, to her vibrant stints in theatre, and her impactful role in education, teaching English to new Canadians. Her story is one of humour, wisdom, and profound insight, particularly into life's later decades.Join us as Margie Taylor delves into her life of creativity, courage, and unwavering commitment, and offers a window into the soul of a woman who has lived boldly and inspired many._____Recorded in Saskatoon &amp; Rosetown, Saskatchewan Show producer: <a data-mce-href="https://podcastblast.cc/" href="https://podcastblast.cc/">Christina Cherneskey Communications</a> Theme music: ES_By the Neon Sign Music selections for this show: ES_Seven Suspicious Signs - Ludvig Moulin, ES_If So - Anna Landstrom, ES_Gratitude Loop - HATAMITSUNAMI, ES_Guilty Pleasure - Duke Herrington, ES_Paris with You (Instrumental Version) - Adelyn Paik, ES_Close Talker - Ritchie Everett, ES_Let's Decide - Vendla Voice over: Christina Cherneskey Original artwork: Jackie Peterson Artwork developed for digital media pages: Christina Cherneskey
