In this episode of Minding Her Business, we chat with Anica Peter, an award-winning HR professional from London, Ontario, who’s on a mission to put the “human” back in Human Resources. From greeting members at GoodLife Fitness to becoming the first-ever HR Manager for the Municipality of Thames Centre, Anica has built her career on empathy, leadership, and authentic connection.
Anica shares her journey into HR, what it meant to be named one of London Inc’s 20 Under 40, and how she tackled the nerves of speaking at Disrupt HR. We dive into the challenges of balancing compassion with tough decisions, the unique aspects of HR in the public sector, and how she prioritizes mental health... for herself and others.
This episode is packed with real conversation and insights for anyone navigating people-first careers or simply looking to lead with heart.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
