Lucas Root had the distinct opportunity to sit down with Sandi Boucher, an expert in Indigenous recruitment/retention and Canadian Reconciliation. As they talked about community building, their conversation illuminated how meaningful connections can be crafted from adversity - a truly inspiring message for us all!

Sandi Boucher's insightful story speaks to the importance of having a supportive community. Sandi and Lucas discussed how a village alone is not enough to constitute a true community - one must also be responsible for recognizing that community within the village and contributing something back.

She showed how she achieved greater authenticity and security through the power of supportive people. Genuineness, she concluded, is special in its uncommonness - it attracts us to those who carry it with them, and Sandi noted that only when she consciously sought out encouraging people did her journey really begin. 

Her words offer important lessons on the significance of shared understanding and uplifting support from our communities.

Other subjects we covered on the show:

• Sandi shared her experience with her community, where she felt accepted no matter how long it had been since she visited last, as well as, feeling safe to be herself within the community.
• We also discussed the five elements of community, and how these elements allow individuals to connect with each other.
• Lastly, Sandi emphasizes the importance of finding your own supportive community in order for self-growth.
