This episode is a quick download of information given to me by a friend who translated a small, inspiring German book called Erfolgreich Wünschen (which means Sucessfully Wishing). The book is written by Pierre Franckh. In the book he gives many examples of his own successful wishes and explains the rules for successfully wishing. He shares that his life drastically changed when he found a little...

She isn't scared to try something...

I asked Greg if he wanted to be on my podcast, and being the super creative soul that he is, he said YES... but! Why don't we do something different and I interview you. I love getting out of my comfort zone, and so agreed to his proposal and this episode is a 50/50 split of us interviewing each other. We explore a little of my past, what Canada must have been like for the early immigrants, we dis...

It was my pleasure to talk to Jason Petrunik and get to know him a little better. He is a former radio announcer of 17 years and I was attracted to speak with him because I caught wind of him online and he was speaking courageously about how none of what is going on in the world makes any sense.  I wanted to know how he got started with his own Podcasts and why he felt like he needed to speak...

This is a long, candid conversation between two strangers.  My guest Michael Berg shares with me how he sees the world, and lets me share with him how I see it.

It was my pleasure to speak with Sara Nicholson about Fairy Creek and reflect how each of us can do our small part. It feels the movement out of Fairy Creek is awakening in MANY of us, this calling. To move from our hearts. To listen to our intuition and stand up for these Ancient Trees. These Sacred Lands. To stand with the Land. If we all do our small part. Even if that is just sitting with our...

It is uncomfortable to feel all the pain that has been caused by our colonial past. It is hard for us to face it is still happening today. It was my honor to speak with this brave soul about her experience as a First Nation in Canada today.  The forests around her are being cut down for profit. If we want to heal from what we did, if we want to give back what we took... start by listening. At...

It was my honor to talk with Shari about her life and stories and the wisdom her Grandmother's passed on. Listen to this episode and just listen. What would that mean for us as settlers, as non locals, to give back all that we have taken? Do we have the courage to really face what is coming to the surface in Canada? Can we sit with the truth of our history long enough to let it really sink in? I t...

It was a bit of a challenge to find someone who would talk to me at this logger's rally, but eventually Ron Tucker had the courage to speak.  I think if we listen to each other we begin to understand where the other is coming from. The more we share information the clearer the picture becomes. I hope through these open discussions understanding grows and we find ways to work with each other t...

It was my pleasure to talk with Brock Harrison this weekend at a logger's rally in response to the Ferry Creek blockades. He came to the conversation with an open heart and open mind. We agreed it would be amazing and effective if everyone involved could sit at a round table and have their voice heard. I believe coming together instead of focusing on the division is where the solution to this issu...
