In Her Own Words

“It is not only ‘body’ or ‘embodiment’ practices, it is sense perception. It is incredibly simple and very nuanced at the same time. And I have yet to have a client say they have completely mastered any of the skills. It is an ongoing practice that attunes you to your power.”

Thanks to a listener who asked me to try and explain inflation, I provide what I hope is a new perspective on what many of us find confounding. What is inflation? Why are the prices are virtually everything increasing stretching most of us to the limit of our income? Are wages keeping pace with inflation or falling behind? What impacts did the Covid 19 pandemic have on inflation and have government income support programs contributed to price inflation? What is the relationship between the massive increase in federal debt money (total federal government increased by 70% issued since 2019 reaching a staggering $1,274 billion by the end of 2022)? How much of our costs of living are hidden interest charges on debts that have exploded? Why aren't these interest costs discussed in our discussion of inflation? Why are housing prices so irrationally out of balance with disposable income? I will post some comments and graphs/data on my Linkedin profile to augment my comments. Thanks for listening!

Jennifer England joins me today from her home in Whitehorse, Yukon. Jennifer, who is originally from Edmonton, is a leadership coach with a mastery in helping others discover their genuine 'being.'

Jennifer started her intellectual journey studying feminist geography and working with some of the most wounded of Canadians in Vancouver's east-side.

At 26, she took an executive position in the public service in Yukon , where she led a growing gender equality department, collaborating across the country to amplify policy change on housing, finance, health care, and education.

She thrived in working across sectors to support the influence and power of self-governing First Nations and non-profits. She leaned into Response Based Practice, which centered the dignity, resilience and resistance of people to inequality in their lives. 

After 15 years in this field, something else was calling her.  She felt the desire to align my growing passion for personal development (the inner life) at the convergence of social change and leadership.

Increasingly sought after for support, advice and coaching by emerging leaders, she began to explore transformational approaches to social change with Robert and Judith Gass. Soon after, she discovered the work of Joanne Hunt and Laura Divine at Integral Coaching Canada and Otto Scharmer, at the Presencing Institute.

During this time, she spent time studying from wisdom teachers like Cynthia Bourgeault and Thomas Keating. After 18 months of intensive study and practice, she received my Master level coaching certification from Integral Coaching Canada.

Throughout her journey, she has been an integral part of systems change making at many scales and angles. 

She has experienced exhaustion and heart-broken discouragement of slow change and the groundswell of  inspiration from community activists who make a difference.

Her mission is to support the growth of awake and aligned leaders who want to give generously, lead from a place of deep alignment, and contribute to a thriving, loving and regenerative world.

Tor Fjelldal (part 1) joins me today from Entrance Ranch near Jasper National Park in Alberta. Tor is a Norwegian by birth who has had a rich and varied life that began with life-changing health conditions as a young boy growing up in a little town south of Oslo, Norway. His life path led him to Alberta where he has spent time at his Norwegian uncle Rocky's Entrance Ranch located on the Athabasca River just north of Hinton, Alberta.

There Tor encountered many Native wisdom keepers and traditions, including the spiritual teachings of Chief Jimmy O'Chiese (a direct descendant of the Odawa Anishnabe (Objiwa) Chief Pontiac (1714-1769), one of the key contributors to the Royal Proclamation of 1763  with King George III of Great Britain.

Tor is one of those special human beings that crosses one's path with such a variety of gifts and talents. Tor is a natural entrepreneur and inventor as well as a very spiritual person who has been immersed in indigenous or Native spirituality and ceremony.

Today we spoke about a variety of subjects that include his insights into his Norwegian homeland which regularly rated one of the happiest countries in the world and one of the richest in terms of GDP and a sovereign wealth fund. Norwegians, despite having enviable financial wealth, are struggling more with depression, suicide and growing rates of poverty. Tor has delved into alternative blockchain cryptocurrency systems; a subject of mutual interest. We also talk about what we can learn from First Nations elders and their spiritual wisdom applied to many of today's major challenges.

Tor gives us hope that we are indeed capable of greater things when we are in tune with the natural flow of nature and life.
