Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we’re diving into the complicated feelings surrounding this time of year, and the holidays celebrated... From the joy of a delicious meal (all about the sides—no thanks, turkey!) to the reality of its historical roots in colonization and indigenous genocide, this episode holds space for it all.
We’ll explore:
- The importance of acknowledging indigenous history and how to take meaningful action.
- Resources and accounts to follow, including Native Land Digital, and why land acknowledgments matter.
- The practice of holding complexity—balancing conflicting emotions and building capacity for growth.
- How routines help us manage stress, why flexibility is key, and how to adjust when life shakes things up.
- A reminder to check in with yourself during the holiday season, embracing honesty over perfection.
Whether this season brings joy or challenges, this conversation offers insights, resources, and a reminder to care for your nervous system and show up with compassion for yourself and others.
Resources Mentioned:
- Native Land Digital: native-land.ca
- Accounts to follow: @decolonizemyself, @ancestorsfuture, @riseindigenous, and more.
Take a deep breath, grab your favorite side dish, and let’s navigate the season with intention.
