Juliana founded the project “Prince.sse Si Je Veux” to help parents and teachers educate and encourage children between 5 and 12 years old to make their own choices by freeing them from gender stereotypes. You may be surprised to see how ingrained sexism is in our everyday life, and how, despite all our efforts, we as parents may be reenforcing such gender-related clichés – very innocently and subconsciously. It is very important to become aware of this since the way we raise our children often directly impacts their adult life.

In this second and final part, Juliana gives interesting tips and resources (youth literature recommendations) to help you raise awareness and deconstruct the gender stereotypes at home, with your children! We’ll also talk about her definition of feminism (which is inclusive of males!), equality and the potential issues behind well-intended gallantry.

Do you find you’re aware of the gender stereotypes in your daily life or country? Do you find that you’re consciously making efforts to avoid them? How do you do this? Share your experience!

This episode may deeply change your perception of life and death. Open your mind to infinite possibilities and infinite hope as you open your ears to listen to Anne-Hélène Gramignano’s testimonial. Anne-Hélène found very early on that she had the inherited gift of seeing and hearing people who had passed away. She now is dedicating a good chunk of her life helping people in grief by passing messages from their loved ones in the afterlife: Anne-Hélène is a medium with an important message for you.

Her autobiography has met a success she had not anticipated:  it became the #1 bestseller in New Caledonia where she now resides, made #1 on Amazon Canada and has already been translated in several languages.

As you will also find out, our interview took a very unexpected turn and left me very emotional and changed ever since. I honestly did NOT believe in the afterlife, but I did believe in Anne-Hélène’s authenticity. And then something happened. Something that I have the incredible blessing to have on a recording for me to keep and always remember (and cherish)…

assassiner = to murder, to kill

This is the first part of my conversation with Guillaume Doerig, a very friendly French man (who’s not only French, but a citizen of the world!) living in Chile.

This episode focuses on his multicultural and multilingual upbringing – Guillaume will give his best advice on how to learn a foreign language – and his passion for bird watching. He’s even started a YouTube channel aimed at listing the birds of the world in video. (See links below).

The full video interview is also available on YouTube.

I want to apologise because there won’t be an episode coming out on September 1st as I ran out of interviews!! Getting in touch with potential new guests can be a (painfully) long process; so many people I reached out to haven’t replied to me (did they even see my email?), and I’ve had a few “Yesses” which turned into “Noes”, especially as people are quite overwhelmed in the current context and don’t always have room in their mind and schedule for me…

There will however be a new episode on September 15th. I’m still working on the interview. (If you haven’t done so already, turn on the notifications on your Podcast App so you know when an episode is out.) Thanks for your patience!

If you can put me in touch with a passionate, interesting native French speaker, I welcome your suggestions with pleasure!
