    Dawn's Story

    This week's guest, Dawn, stopped by and shared her journey from a life where alcohol became medicine to cope with deep pain, anxiety, and depression.

    Police: A Rape Culture?

    Police: A Rape Culture?

    This week's guest comes from a police department in Canada. I will give a pre-warning, warning that this episode might be incredibly triggering for anyone. We talk openly and frankly about the experiences we have had in our different capacities. I had no idea the depths of sexism/misogyny, Islamophobia, and homophobia in law enforcement culture until I was clear of it for a few months. Able to process the damage properly. With the executive branches of law enforcement failing to protect their officers so dramatically, specifically, and systematically. They do this with blatant disregard for the public, for the member, and for the members families. How could any of us know...thank you for having the courage to stand up and say something. I'm disgusted that the title of this episode is incredibly suitable for this conversation.

    Danielle's Story

    This week's guest, Danielle, drops in to talk about accessing mental health and addiction services in Calgary, Alberta. She is incredibly open and honest about her recent journey within the system. We talk openly about our mental illnesses and share some soothing strategies/ideas for when mental health is pushed to the limits. This is one of those episodes that may be deeply triggering for people. This is an added warning, children should not necessarily listen. Thank you for your openness, courage and vulnerability Danielle. We are lucky to have you in our world.

    Beau's Story

    This week's guest, Beau stops by and shares their incredible journey through this life. The path was wrought with suffering through the hate of others in many ways. He brings a deep passion for justice and human rights with him wherever he goes. I heard them speak at an end Genocide/Free Palestine rally in Calgary. I am going to let the episode speak for itself as I could not do it justice... Thank you Beau!

    Wesam's Story

    Wesam's Story

    This week's guest, Wesam, an activist with Justice For Palestine stops by to talk about organizating and running weekly protests in an attempt to end genocide and find peace I Palestine. We talk about how deeply islamaphobia runs within western style culture. We talk about how islamaphobia is another means for western culture to continue its war on Indigenous, Black People and People of Colour. We talk about some of the systems in place within these countries that were intentionally designed to keep certain humans from achieving liberation and freedom. The fact that these systems are in place all across the planet. Thank you Wesam, you're out there in the face of such hate and yet, you continue to show your love for all humans.

    The Brothers

    The Brothers

    This week our guests are none other than my brothers, Greg and Nathan. The three of us sat down to talk about losing our pops and how life has changed for each of us in some ways as we approach the one year anniversary of his passing. I love my brothers and honestly, what resonates the most from this is how Darcy heard our conversation. He heard different parts of pop's personality coming out in the three of us. He distinctly heard dad in how each of our personalities try to make sense of this insane, shifting world in which we find ourselves. This conversation brought up a lot of stuff for each of us and I'll only speak for myself in saying, it was triggering in a lot of ways. Thanks bro's, love you both
