Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Jeannie MacDonald discuss the following: Scarring is one of the biggest concerns patients have after surgery — can you walk us through how scars actually form, and why some people end up with more noticeable scars than others? You developed the Scar Kit, which is based on silicone gel technology — can you tell us what it is, why silicone is considered the gold standard in scar care, and how you recommend patients use it after surgery? Beyond the Scar Kit, what other treatments do you offer for scar management — things like micro-needling, IPL, or scar revision surgery — and how do you decide which approach is right for each patient? There are so many different types of scars — hypertrophic scars, keloids, contractures — how do you approach each one differently, and are some types harder to treat than others? For patients who are unhappy with an older scar from a previous surgery somewhere else, is it too late to do something about it, and what realistic improvements can they expect from scar revision or the Scar Kit? A board-certified plastic surgeon with a deep understanding of how the body heals, Dr. Jeannie MacDonald has taken her expertise in scar management a step further by developing her own Scar Kit for patients navigating recovery after surgery. Based at MacDonald Plastic Surgery in New Westminster, BC, she brings both clinical precision and genuine care to one of the most common concerns patients face after any procedure.

Her new book is Leaving the Shore: Experiencing Poetry as Prayer. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Colette Lafia discuss the following: Your book is titled Leaving the Shore. What does that phrase mean to you, and how did it become the title of the book? When did you first realize that creativity was more than self-expression, that it was sacred? Was there a moment when you understood creativity as part of your spiritual calling? Many of your poems begin with very simple, everyday moments—sharing a meal, sipping your morning tea, noticing the world around you. How do those ordinary experiences become doorways to recognizing the sacred presence at the heart of our lives? How have you seen poetry become a doorway for people to discover their own spiritual experience? You draw on many older contemplative traditions, yet you’ve made them very accessible for contemporary readers. What draws you to those traditions, and what do they offer people today? You’ve been sharing your poetry in both online and in-person gatherings. What have you discovered through those experiences, and what are people taking away from them? For someone who says, “I’m not a poetry person,” how can this book still speak to them? If readers take only one thing away from Leaving the Shore, what do you hope begins to change in the way they experience their everyday lives? Colette Lafia is an award-winning writer, retreat leader, and spiritual director living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has spent decades guiding individuals into deeper contemplative practice through workshops, retreats, and one-on-one spiritual direction. A former school librarian and regular presenter for Spiritual Directors International, she brings a rare blend of poetic sensibility, contemplative depth, and accessible warmth to her work.
