Wildflower Project

I always find it fascinating to hear someone tell their story, to explain how they got to where they are and then when their passion starts to speak you know they are meant to do something big! 

Owner and makeup artist Nancy Dutiaume of Made Beauty Co. is definitely passionate.  She's passionate not only about makeup and the artistry involved, but also bringing out the beauty from within!  The beauty that we maybe aren't seeing for ourselves but perhaps needs a little coaxing out with a tool she uses called "confidence".  It's through confidence that beauty radiates and Nancy is on a mission to hand that tool to every woman she meets!

Nancy offers workshops on clean beauty, makeup tips and tricks and of course her and her team of mobile artists are available for any event that you might require a full glamover!

In addition to this, Nancy is one of the hosts of a new podcast that recently launched called "Version 5" , a podcast about five women changing the narrative within our communities through love.

What a joy it was to sit and chat with energy healer Samantha Sawatzky of Divine Light Therapies.  Sam has such a warm glow about her, a lightness, and I would go as far to say an "angelic" aura about her!

It's no surprise to hear her story of being innocently led to a calling of healing others.  Samantha's approach is one that looks at the whole person; the mental, physical, emotional, & spiritual.  Offering services that include crystals, sound therapy, toning, essential oils, shamanic healing, Reiki and energy healing.

Karen Litinsky & Maureen Brouwer of Paradise Of Reality know bodies, know pain and maybe even more importantly, they also know there is much more going on behind the scenes!

Come have a listen in as we chat about understanding there is wisdom in pain, the ego mind and how collectively, Paradise Of Reality can assist in healing more than just our physical pain.

 Come have a listen as Sherry, Pam & Alison have a conversation about a growing concern called “Ageism”

If you are unaware of this term, Ageism is a type of discrimination or prejudgment against aging or elderly people and their capabilities.

This type of discrimination can be especially evident in the workplace. Many adults try to re-enter the workforce after either being home raising a family, or perhaps even wanting to change careers.  They can be met with judgment of their competency or viewed as having had their time!

The attitudes and stereotypes about aging are formed I believe on our personal experiences and interactions with aging people.  If you had great experiences with aging family members it will definitely be easier than those that have simply formed opinions based on what others believe.

With a little examination of our thoughts and beliefs around aging, we can perhaps try to be aware of when we allow the prejudgment to take over and help minimize the belief.

 Nathalie Daudet of The Fertility Awareness Project is pretty passionate about all things related to cycles, menstrual cycles that is! She became so fascinated with it that she dove in to learn all she could in hopes of teaching others.

Nathalie is a certified fertility awareness educator with FEMM (Fertility Education & Medical Management) and a social worker.

Women’s health is her specialty and she loves talking about it in hopes of empowering women.  She encourages women to get to know their bodies for the sake of their health and to better understand what is going on at any given time during their monthly cycle.

We talk about cervical mucus, basal body temperature, becoming your own health advocate and understanding that there are options to synthetic hormones for birth control.

Nathalie offers a few different ways to connect if you want to learn more, through events and workshops and online.  Check out her website for more information and start taking control!

In this epsiode, we were missing our co-host Alison for our usual round table talk, so Sherry & Pam decided to kinda interview each other!

We each came up with some questions to ask each other, some serious, some simple and some that made us think a little.  As usual, we end up always having a chuckle about something but mostly we just really enjoy our time connecting with each other.

We really do want to connect with our listeners too!  So please leave us a comment, suggestion, etc., and we promise to get back to you!

Alison Ritchie of Grand Voyage Herbals and Sacred Pregnancy is the ultimate nurturer.  Spending time with this beautiful woman is like being wrapped in the warmest of embrace.  She simply oozes authentic love for the earth, for the beauty in the world, for the magic in herbs and for the birth of life.

Lisa Scrivens is on a mission to help as many people as she can by connecting them to spirit and better understand the journey we all take.

From a young age Lisa could see and sense spirit.  She grew up with a mother and grandmother that also shared this gift and recognized it for what it was. She attempted to push this aside as she was embarrassed at the possibility of being made fun of.  It wasn't until her grandmother that had since passed away came to her and told her it was her time to use this gift, that she decided to honour her and begin to utilize with the intention of helping people.

Finding comfort after a loved one has passed is what most come looking to Lisa for, as do those that fear the unknown and need to appease their own anxious fears.  For our co-host Alison who lost her daughter tragically (see episode 9 for her story), Lisa became her lifeline and gave her the only possible comfort when she connected and knew her daughter was ok.

Unbeknownst to many, Lisa freely offers her services to palliative care patients. This is something that has really become an important part of her strong desire to give back.  It was while giving in service that Lisa discovered yet another gift she instinctively felt led by.  You will have to tune in to hear exactly what that gift is, when Lisa shares this publicly for the very first time! 

We hope you will enjoy this special episode and find comfort you might be needing.

 We all know the benefits being in nature offers us.  Even just visualizing a warm sunny day, can evoke a feeling of warmth, of nurturing or of peace within.  Why then do we not go there first for healing, for stress release, or reconnecting and grounding.

We have this beautiful gift of nature that we don't necessarily utilize for our healing.  Amelia MacDougal is the founder of Seeds Of Love Creations and is passionate about guiding us all to reconnect, to allow ourselves to be open and instinctively led to finding our medicine in nature.

Everyone has a story, and we're grateful that our Wildflower co-host Alison is so courageous to share a part of hers with all of us. Losing her only biological daughter Amy tragically five years ago, and then trying to figure out who she could now be in this world, was, is, and will forever be part of her journey. 

Some of you may remember or recognize Amy as one of Generation Green's original staff members.  We feel as if Amy somehow has been part of bringing this Wildflower Project to be and will be forever grateful for having had her a part of our lives.
