Today, we'll talk about the amazing event that happened on December 2, 2022 – Driving While Indigenous. This was an event where people were able to share success concepts, inspire and be inspired by our own Indigenous success stories. 

Contrary to other people’s beliefs, words are more powerful than we think. This episode proves this to be true as Jill shares how affirmations led her to become the woman she is today. 

Do you believe in perfect timing? I believe that everything happens for us exactly when it should, and it doesn’t hurt to follow the signs, either. Jade Turner’s story proves this to be true.

In today’s episode, we are joined by Ted Williams to share his story about self-actualization and listening to your intuition or that little voice.

Today’s episode is filled with stories of alignment and following whatever is set for you without any questions. To talk more about this, we are joined by Tchadas Leo. 

In today’s episode, we are joined by the iconic duo, The Resilience. Lisa Muswagon and her husband Hellnback (Karmen Omeasoo) make up the powerhouse musical duo known as The Resilience. The Resilience is a new sound of hip hop with an Indigenous flavour. Their style consists of Hellnback's fire flow of timeless lyrics while Lisa finds the beat of the sound, adding a fresh new wave to the scene. With respect to the understanding of the cultural component, The Resilience strives to ensure their ancestors are honoured in music by sharing the narratives and stories of the intergenerational impacts of the Residential School. Their content can be utilized as teaching tools and music for our upcoming generation. 

Today we’re joined by Greg Personius. He is a budding musician, comedian, emcee and event coordinator. He is a member of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation and a proud father to daughter Roselyn. 

If you didn’t know, I am the author of the book “The Tale of Tiger Lily.” So, for today I will take you through my process behind writing this idea that I had when I was in my 20s, but didn’t start writing till my 30’s, then finally  put into fruition after 7 years. 

Today’s episode is very timely and a lesson we all need sooner rather than later. It’s all about not letting other people’s opinions have power over you.
