Reclaim The Pink Within podcast is a space where women’s stories take center stage. In each episode, I sit down with one guest to explore who she was before becoming a mother, her transition through motherhood, how her identity shifted, the challenges she faced, and what helped her navigate the change. Together, we talk about her ongoing struggles and triumphs, allowing the conversation to unfold naturally. The goal is to create a collective narrative — a tapestry of stories woven together through honesty, vulnerability, and connection. Through shared experiences, we hope to remind women of their worth, celebrate their resilience, and encourage them to rediscover their vibrant, powerful selves. This podcast is about reclaiming identity, reconnecting with who we are beyond the roles we play, and rebuilding the village we’ve lost. One story, one conversation, one woman at a time.
About The Host:
Dr. Christelle Oliver-Dussault is a family physician with a clinical focus on aesthetic medicine, women’s health, and psycho-education. Her work is grounded in a holistic, whole-person approach that integrates medical science with a deep appreciation of the mind–body connection. Alongside her clinical practice, she is deeply committed to medical education and mentors the next generation of family physicians through her work with the Department of Family Medicine at the University of British Columbia.
She is the founder of Reclaim The Pink Within, a community created to support women through life’s most profound transitions. This project was born from personal experience. After becoming a mother, Dr. Oliver-Dussault became aware of a quiet but profound shift in her sense of self, one she had long observed in her patients, yet only fully understood once she lived it herself. What had once been a clinical observation became a deeply personal insight, shaping the lens through which she now supports and guides other women.

Transcripts
Speaker:
Welcome to the get yout Pink Back Project podcast. I'm your host,
Speaker:
Dr. Christel Oliver-Dusseau. And if you're here because
Speaker:
you feel like you've lost a part of yourself, you're not alone.
Speaker:
This project was born from that quiet ache,
Speaker:
the moments when you feel stretched thin, unseen,
Speaker:
overwhelmed by the invisible load, or simply disconnected
Speaker:
from the woman you used to be. And for so many of
Speaker:
us, that loss happens quite slowly,
Speaker:
silently, in the care of everyone else.
Speaker:
The name of this podcast comes from nature, from
Speaker:
flamingos who lose their pink while raising their young because they
Speaker:
give so much of themselves. And once they begin
Speaker:
nourishing themselves again, their color returns. The pink
Speaker:
comes back. That image stayed with me. It
Speaker:
mirrors our lives so closely. We don't
Speaker:
fade because we're weak. We fade because we're
Speaker:
devoted. Because we deserve to be nourished, too.
Speaker:
This podcast is a space to explore that journey
Speaker:
back to ourselves. It's space
Speaker:
grounded in honesty, connection, compassion,
Speaker:
creativity, empowerment.
Speaker:
And the courage to grow. You'll hear stories from
Speaker:
everyday extraordinary women who've walked through identity
Speaker:
shifts, mattress sense burnout, reinvention,
Speaker:
joy and healing. Their voices,
Speaker:
unfiltered and real, will remind you that your story isn't
Speaker:
an outlier. It's part of a larger truth we're finally
Speaker:
naming out loud. There will be conversations with
Speaker:
experts and quiet soul episodes with me where we explore
Speaker:
the tools and ideas that help you reconnect with who you are becoming.
Speaker:
My hope is that this podcast feels like sitting across from a friend,
Speaker:
someone who sees you, hears you, and
Speaker:
reminds you that you're not alone. You're not lost.
