Let me tell you what emotional eating was for me. And then I'll tell you my 3-step process to fixing it.

There's no difference between seeking the bottom of the bottle and the bottom of a potato chip bag. Filling the void that way doesn't work. Let's course correct!!

Take a breath - what am I trying to escape from? What do I need to sit, cry, feel? There are healthier ways to solve problems other than sugar or liquid sugar (wine.)

Take a breath and listen in for a massive transformation around the secret you're carrying - emotional eating.

Step into a photograph with me. Let me tell you a story... a story that starts with a classic summer wave of heat, arches with a smudge of red clay and concludes with the memories of "all those old cactus stings."

To be “in the desert” was both a physical and a metaphorical initiation.

This story touches on the transformational tale of the initiation of finding sobriety. (The full initiation story can be heard by those attending Desert Medicine circles, held each summer in the South Okanagan.)

This story about a question I was asked during a session reveals one of the most important missing elements in our communities today - connections with ELDERS.

There's a big difference between worrying about something and being aware of your thoughts about it.

Reject societies' mainstream beliefs that aging is negative, faulty, or in need of slowing, stopping, preventing.

We need those ahead of us in the journey to give us solid, balanced, wise advice. We also need to know who to and who not to listen to. Discernment.

Wherever you are in your human and natural, beautiful aging journey, finding healthy & healed elders and people to talk to about your worries can focus the mind back on the most important thing in aging - doing it in a healthy way.

Elder Dianne in Courtenay shares teachings with me. I also share some of the wildest things people have said to me once they learn I'm Métis.

While I do not practice the woke ritual of word suppression + language changing (you can call me any name or anything you want) I still want to share this important perspective for those in Canada who meet Métis people.

11 mins of educational transformations await for you around ancestral healing and heritage.

Easy questions to spark awesome discussion with Michif people instead of continuing the suppression of 'the first peoples'. Communication and honesty is so important.

A personal ancestral reclaiming journey around your heritage allows you deep pride of your blood and to reclaim traditional medicine practices and world view including animism, community, relationships. We all come from medicine people - EVEN WHITE PEOPLE! (WHITE is also in the medicine wheel.)

My ancestors were forced to hide their heritage for safety.

I refuse to hide my heritage, or be told I haven't earned it, or I'm 'not enough.'

The world is at an interesting intersection where it has become accepted for individuals to interact with their devices..... and not with each other.

Listen to my 5 steps for overcoming this.

Healing this improved my mood, sleep, relationships, mental health and overall happiness :)

Lack of conversations erodes our relationships and with that, the capacity for empathy, listening, patience, introspection, creativity, honesty and productivity - ultimately, the social fabrics of our communities.

If your screen time or socials is 4 hours a more or day, listen to today's episode. We did not evolve to be staring at ascreen for most of our waking hours!

Snore. You probably already know the stuff I'm going to tell you about “brain health consequences" like attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); social isolation, impaired emotional andsocial intelligence, poorer cognitive/language and brain development, and disrupted sleep. In fact, I don't talk about it. I simply tell you how to overcome this. Why continue doing something that's harming you?

Enter the realm of addictions work with Raina on today's episode.

This episode explores the subtle differences between coaching, consulting and mentorship.

Having those in your life who are focused, driven, positive and connected is crucial in today's world. I attribute my happiness + success to my consistency with growth in my own mind: If I hadn't seen therapists, medicine men and women, coaches, guides and had formal mentors since I was 20, I would not be where I am.

It is absolutely crucial to have proper coaches and mentors in life if you want to fly.... and not just coast.

This episode closes by story-telling about what mentorship means to me: sharing my award-winning speech about mentorship that I presented to the Junior Chamber International group in Kelowna (Kelowna's premier young professionals group: grow personally and professionally while contributing positively to your community.)

Thank you for being here.

Vanlife. A hashtag. An aesthetic. Plaid, short shorts & coffee on the beach. A dream and a nightmare. I lived to tell the tale.

In this show I get real about my era of van life, sharing very real cautionary tales and insights around the health, cultural, emotional and practical aspects of vanlife.

In this show I get real and share about cleanliness, personal waste, breakdowns, fears, isolation, food challenges and bear spray.

I want to show the warts and the arrogance AND also show the genius. Because there's intelligence here too.

NO RENT|NO LANDLORDS|NO MORTGAGE - BRILLIANT!

BOONDOCKING|LAKE LIFE|BACK TO THE LAND - BRILLIANT!

This beautiful life deeply connected me to nature. When you live 'adjacent' to society instead of 'in' it, you can't help but awaken and live in a new way. You have new eyes. You walk through the world in a new way. Having soil underneath you first thing in the morning, making coffee by the fire and watching the sunrise really does happen.

and as this chapter closes I will probably crave that red clay streak on my leg for the rest of my life. But I can say this.

I've seen freedom from both sides now.

I've seen the clouds from both sides now.

*WARNING: there is one F-bomb.

The nuances of a cancer diagnosis are MANY. You have power on your cancer journey to make the decisions that feel right for you.

This is Devin's wildly inspiring story about his experience having colon cancer. In today's show, we explore themes such as:

-Having integrity as practitioners, and in the medical system

-Remaining curious and compassionate as the best way to help people heal

-How fear is used as a tool

-How feeling heard and giving consent are some of the most important aspects of this journey

Devin shares his prepared speech:

"The Importance of Maintaining Personal Integrity When Healing: Cancer saved my life, but the medical system might be trying to k*ll me"

Devin worked with many practitioners he is grateful for, including Katherine Willow, ND.

*WARNING: there is an F-bomb just before the 9-min mark.
