Join us for leadership stories from female founders, trailblazers in women leadership and entrepreneurs sharing their success stories.
Leadership isn’t just about titles—it’s about making a lasting impact.
When the headlines no longer dictate your day, how do you write your next chapter?
Today I talk with Lisa Drew. For more than three decades, Lisa’s voice was the one that greeted Waterloo Region every morning, shaping the way thousands of people started their day. She was there when the biggest stories broke, she was there when the world shifted overnight, and she was there to let us know if schools and roads were open or closed on a snowy day.
From her start on 570 CHYM’s news and traffic team to her 16-year partnership with Glenn Pelletier as co-anchor of All News Mornings, Lisa became a trusted voice in the community.
And then, she retired or fake retired, as Lisa calls it. Not because she had to…but because she was ready for something new.
Lisa Drew, the award-winning journalist, became Lisa Drew, the flower farmer.
She stepped away from radio and into entrepreneurship, turning a lifelong passion for flowers into Cherry Hill Blooms, a thriving floral business. Lisa shares what it’s like to go from the fast-paced world of media to the quiet patience of growing something new. We talk about shifting identities, taking on the challenge of reinvention, and the role of mentorship, especially for women in business.
