Meanderings with Trudy

Community and belonging… this is a story about heartbreak, and heart healing. Angie’s first US Thanksgiving here in Canada was not a smooth one and she missed home BIG. To meet her ache, she invited neighbours over and the tradition of pie-palouza came to be. It is a ritual she follows with her Big Stone House community to this day. This story is our way of wrapping up this fall season, weaving together the threads of our meanders to date. 

It takes courage to reach out to others, and to respond to a hand outstretched… what does that look like for you? That’s the invitation out of this pause to you – how do you connect to others, and how do you risk showing up? And how do we know when to shift to include something, or someone, new?  As we close, we tip our hand to what’s coming after our break.

Yes, we're taking a break for December and January, to relaunch in February, 2023. We hope you’ll enjoy your holiday season, and rejoin us for more in the New Year. As always, please subscribe, give us a review, share, and if you have comments, drop us a line at [email protected].

It’s not often that any of us get to see the inside of science and policy work but today’s episode with Robert Day is just such an opportunity. Robert has recently retired from his management responsibilities in the Government of Canada where he spent more than 20 years in fisheries and oceans management, which included a lot of environmental and climate change discussions, many with international dimensions. Now that he’s retired, he’s continued to keep his hand in international fisheries discussions and also moved the needle on other activities dear to his heart – activities that also make a positive difference in our world, such as organizing his community's Audubon Christmas Bird Count. I hope you enjoy this episode, it's helped me to see the wide range of possibilities for me as I also consider moving into semi-retirement.

Angie is all about storytelling, she always has been. On today’s PauseCast, we’re diverting from what we’d planned (funerals and permission) into storytelling and why that matters. This is a theme we keep coming back to because it’s in stories that we see ourselves, others, and other possibilities for us to be. As usual, we share of ourselves, so that you can see yourself more clearly. It’s in seeing clearly that we can find our way into joy, which is, of course, why these meanders matter so much to us. I hope you enjoy this episode, please share, review, and even subscribe.
