Without Losing Your Cool with Shantelle Bisson
Without Losing Your Cool Unfiltered is a lifestyle show where you'll feel seen and heard. It is that gentle reminder that you are not alone on this beautiful complex, wonderful journey called life.
And I, Shantelle Bisson am your host for this adventure: I'm a 55 year old serial entrepreneur, a three time author, mother to three adult daughters and married for more than three decades. Good things come in threes.
My motto is: "Life is messy, but we don't have to be." Every WLYC Unfiltered podcast episode explores this truth: That anything is possible when we build a strong community around ourselves. And when we also remember, to live life, and find the silver lining and humour in the stuff that we take too seriously.

048. Unapologetic Authenticity: Monika Schnarre's Journey of Empowerment and Reinvention
In this episode, the legendary model-turned-entrepreneur, Monika Schnarre joins Shantelle on the latest episode of Without Losing Your Cool. Join us as Monika shares pivotal moments that shaped her into the empowered woman she is today. Monika takes us back to the beginnings of her modelling career, recounting the challenges and triumphs that propelled her forward. We delve into the art of reinventing oneself and embracing change, a skill she has mastered throughout her diverse career. In 1986, at age 14, Monika Schnarre won the Ford Models "Supermodel of the World" contest, becoming the youngest model to ever win. In 2007, Schnarre became a volunteer Ambassador for Habitat for Humanity Toronto's Women Build program. After returning to Toronto in 2007 and living between there and Muskoka for years, Schnarre now enjoys a slower paced life in Collingwood with her young son. As of 2022 Schnarre is working as a real estate advisor for Engel & Völkers.
Discover the heartwarming tale of how Monika met her husband after a difficult breakup, and how love and resilience played a significant role in her life. She opens up about her incredible journey to conceive her son naturally, overcoming the emotional roller coaster of failed IVF attempts. Throughout her modelling career, vulnerability was both a challenge and a catalyst for growth. Monika shares her experiences of traveling alone as a young model and navigating her relationship with her siblings, offering valuable insights into personal development. Monika also reveals the pressures she faced as a young model, including the industry's standards on weight. We explore her courageous decision to pursue other creative projects beyond modelling, including her shift into acting, her role on Y&R and real estate career.
