n this episode, I talk about the importance of knowing our values and being open to others having differing values. I'm also not willing to compromise my standards of who I let into my life, and how this can be challenging depending on where I go or who is in my life. I am the leader of my own life, of my inner system and I believe each of us ought to embody a leadership role in our community. What that looks like varies depending on our values, skillset and capacity to represent our values.
Other subtopics that arise:
- Commenting on Political Facebook posts
- Knowing when to "forgive Gollum"
- Lex Fridman's recent podcast with Douglas Murray
- "Being the boring person" at the party
- How in society we reward the predators/abusers
Song in the intro- "Light of the Mountain" by Brandon Tilt
I acknowledge that I learn, grow and heal on the unceded ancestral lands of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm , the Katzie, the Stó:lō and the Tseil-Watuth First Nations. These lands were never abandoned nor surrendered by those with the ancestral rights to steward and protect these lands.
I honor and respect the elders, the children, the land stewards, the land protectors, the medicine keepers, and the men and women of all Indigenous nations.
Huy ch q’u (thank you) to those who support the indigenous communities and actively decolonize their minds and spirits.
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin, All my relations.
