Show Notes
On the special Valentine’s Day edition of The Richard Crouse Show on Saturday February 14, 2026 we’ll meet Heather Hendrie, the editor of a brand new (hilarious) anthology of non-fiction stories about sex and relationships entitled “Pillow Talk - An Awfully Hilarious Anthology!” Heather is a nature-based therapist and clinical counsellor based in Whistler, British Columbia and she founded the Awfully Hilarious Project to end shame, uplift women’s health and destigmatize mental health. Her two previous Awfully Hilarious anthologies, “Stories We Never Tell” (2023) and “Period Pieces” (2024) were both Canadian Book Club Awards winners.
Then we meet Shelley Saywell. As an acclaimed Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker known for tackling tough global issues like human rights, conflict, and women's stories in war zones, her new memoir “If Only Love: A Memoir of Second Chances” marks a deeply personal shift—exploring first love, long separation, a miraculous reunion via email after 30 years, profound joy, devastating grief, and the enduring power of love amid her high-stakes career.
