It's our DOUBLE EPISODE, just in time for #CanadaDay2021, or, as we have vowed to treat it, #SettlersTakeAction day! Your hosts, authors Rebecca Juetten (Ch. 8 - Fear of Sticking One's Neck Out) and Kristen Thompson (Ch. 11 - Unmasking the Impostor Within) reflect on our OWN chapters about a year-plus since finally relinquishing control and handing the final drafts in! Do we feel the same as we did during the writing process? Has anything changed (cut to: Oh heck yes...the world has CH-CH-CH-CH-CHAAA-AANGED!!)? We grapple with some prickly, thorny, #whitesaviourcomplex and #anti-racism type topics, and most importantly, talk about #CanadaDay and #SettlersTakeAction and our pledge to contribute our time (and more) to make this country we love a much better place. What started off seeming like two rather divergent chapters actually have a common thread between them. Have a listen and see what we mean!
