Bonus Episode: Navigating Politics with Love & Courage with Catana Malinowski

Hello my Lovelies!

In this special bonus episode, I sat down with my dear friend, Catana Malinowski—artist life strategist, two-time international bestselling author, speaker, activist, and host of the podcast Champion for the People. We had a heartfelt and courageous conversation about navigating the political landscape and rising tension in our world today—with love, compassion, and clarity.

We explored how to stand up for what we believe in and protect democracy without losing our humanity. Catana shared powerful reflections, like the question she often poses: “What kind of country do you want, and who do you want to be?”We talked about media manipulation, the importance of using neutral language, and why emotional intelligence in leadership matters so deeply to me. This episode isn’t about sides—it’s about being curious, staying compassionate, and having real conversations that make space for healing and change.

I also shared a moment that moved me from the recent G7 Summit here in Canada, where Indigenous leader Steven Crowchild’s powerful words reminded me of the importance of visibility, integrity, and diplomacy in the face of deep emotion.

"When it came to that one individual, I almost didn't stay. I was filled with rage," Crowchild said. "I was going to go home because I didn't want to bring any negativity to my people. However, I did consult with close people and advisors, and based on feedback, I stayed, considering that visibility is key and diplomacy is important."

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to engage, let this be a gentle encouragement: pause, breathe, hug yourself. It's going to be okay. Find others who want to grow, connect, and do better. That’s how we begin to change the world—together.
