The Curious One

Hello Friends! Today we have some thing a bit different on the podcast. If you have been listening for a while you would know that I often keep my conversations within the self-development, spirituality, or even entrepreneurial space, but today I am excited to share I have my very first musician on the podcast! 

Brandon Mullen, also known as Fayence Dream, began his journey into music in the summer of 2009. 

During our conversation we covered:

• where the name Fayence Dream came from 
• what inspired him to begin playing the guitar
• how Brandon was able to find his own unique style of music
• what the catalyst was for him to begin eating a healthier diet / where that passion began
• his time running a health bar with his father 
  • where did this all start
  • what did he learn from this experience
• what he learned having a step parent pass away at such a young age
• what the song writing process looks like for Brandon
• how he produces his music independently 
• Brandon shed light onto some of the realities of the music industry and what it means to own your own music

And so much more!

I truly believe that people enter your life for a reason, and I must say Barbie is one of those people… Barbie is a Maternal Empowerment Coach as well as a Restorative Justice Advocate. 

The Government of Canada defines restorative justice as, “an approach to justice that focuses on addressing the harm caused by crime while holding the offender responsible for their actions, by providing an opportunity for the parties directly affected by the crime – victims, offenders and communities – to identify and address their needs in the aftermath of a crime….

Restorative justice is based on an understanding that crime is a violation of people and relationships. The principles of restorative justice are based on respect, compassion and inclusivity. Restorative justice encourages meaningful engagement and accountability and provides an opportunity for healing, reparation and reintegration.”

Barbie’s journey began in the summer of 2016 when her youngest daughter was raped. During this time Barbie realized in order to be able to help her daughter heal, she had to first heal herself. 

Over the course of the next few years, and a lot of work, Barbie and her daughter fought for Restorative Justice. In this conversation Barbie shares about their journey and the success and healing they have had from this experience.

Barbie has a powerful story that truly effected me on a deeper level - it is an honour to be able to share it with you on this platform.

During our conversation we chatted about:

• Barbie shares about her journey to becoming an empowerment coach
• the need for a wise woman archetype within our society 
• society’s views of aging and the implications it has 
• advice for stepping into our Divine Feminine 
• Toxic Femininity & viewing other women as competition
• the biggest challenges she faced with Restorative Justice
• how to have forgiveness when you have been hurt so deeply / healing through love
• the effect the patriarchy has had on both men & women 
• how to let go of limiting narratives I no longer align with
• Restorative Justice - what is it and her experience with it

Plus so much more!

• How to have the courage to ask the hard questions and leading these conversations with curiosity 
• Eugene and I both shared about our journey with vulnerability 
• I asked Eugene what his relationship with masculinity has looked like throughout his life
• The impacts social media can have on our mental health
