Radio H-E-A-L: Healing Radio with Raina Dawn

Step into a photograph with me. Let me tell you a story... a story that starts with a classic summer wave of heat, arches with a smudge of red clay and concludes with the memories of "all those old cactus stings."

Shared from a piece I wrote on what being Métis means to me. This piece was originally written by me in early 2020 after being told that I "wasn't supposed to be" open about being Métis. Being told that we aren't allowed to be who we are and to continue to hide it is EXACTLY the wound my Métis ancestors tried to pass down. But I ended that generational wound. I healed it. Stop fo...

Remember 2015? Everyone was talking about bacon, talking about, concerned about, distracted by, bacon. But as for whether or not we should eat it? Well, that depends who you ask. Is it spiritual to eat bacon? Is bacon inherently toxic? Ok so, here's the reality: whole foods are good, processed foods not great, and all foods...controversial..?! Yes!
