Thank you, Giuliana, Gray, Simona 🦋, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.
On this heartwarming (and mouth-watering) episode of Stories, Soulwork & Substack, hosts John Rinaldo and KaZ In The World celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving — a holiday that’s all about gratitude, harvest, and a little maple syrup on everything. 🇨🇦
What started as a chat about turkey vs. salmon turns into a rich conversation about food traditions, dual citizenship, and the beauty of Canadian fall — from smoked salmon feasts in BC to moose crossings in Jasper. The pair explore gratitude not as a cliché, but as a daily practice — through stories of kindness, paying it forward, and the simple human moments that remind us how connected we really are.
Expect laughter, history lessons (yes, Canada had Thanksgiving first!), and heartfelt reflections that’ll make you pause before your next bite of pumpkin pie.
🍁 Highlights include:
* The true origins of Canadian Thanksgiving (and why it’s in October)
* West Coast salmon traditions and Indigenous cooking rituals
* Warm stories of family, giving, and gratitude
* The art of saying “thank you” — and meaning it
* A candid chat about writing, creativity, and community on Substack
Because gratitude really does sound better with a Canadian accent, eh?
