    "Who do you Think you Are?" (episode #47) - Nicolle Star
    Feb 26 2023

    In today's episode, Glenn and I had the delightful opportunity to hang out with spiritual coach, founder of Awaken and Rise Coaching, fellow ministerial classmate, and all ‘round lovely, joyful, and fun-loving soul, Nicolle Star. 

    Nicolle’s response to our question was simple: “I am Divine. I am Spirit, God. I am all of it.” She offered that we are all playing in this game of life as one. 

    We talked about seriousness vs. laughter, playfulness, and fun of being spiritual. We talked about revealing, not seeking for, who we truly are. We talked, connection, responsibility, ministry, integrity, and values. We talked judgement, knowing truth, intention, and awareness. 

    Nicolle also reminded us how much we can learn from kids; how boredom is an amazing opportunity to embrace the creativity we are; that there is no limit to the possibilities of creativity. 

    She also talked about her spiritual studies so far, with Dr. Erin Haskell and now Dr. James Mellon. About online vs. in-person community and intentionality. About creating something for herself. 

    Alan Watts, “Why do we attend church?,” the temple within, the Centre of Love, experiencing vs. being taught, and conscious conversations. This and so much more... 

    Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end! Today’s “prize” was, “Becoming” a poem from “Elemental Magic: Poetic Chapters of Wild Self Love” by Sara Rogers.

    "Who do you Think you Are?" (episode #46) - Angela Strank
    Feb 24 2023

    In today's episode, Glenn and I had the enriching opportunity to spend some time with transformation expert, intuitive healer, author, and speaker Angela Strank. 

    From her expression of graciousness for the land acknowledgement offered by Glenn, Angela emphasized what vital roles the land and its energy play in her life. 

    In answering our big, juicy question, she responded, “How do you answer that?! There are so many layers.” 

    Angela talked about small vs. big picture and about being “all of it.” She spoke of the magic and energy of richness, expansion and healing, and endless potential for expansion. She talked feelings, connectedness, and aliveness. 

    And things really got going when I asked Angela about horses. She talked about them being the love of her life. Her relationship with her horse, Elvis. Why the relationship between rider and horse is such a profound one, and how that relationship is a brilliant metaphor for surrender and trust. 

    We talked presence, choices, chakras, isolation, and energy, energy, energy. This and so much more... 

    Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end! Today’s “prize” was an excerpt from “Skin” from “What Comes From Spirit” by Richard Wagamese.

    "Who do you Think you Are?" (episode #45) - Amy Steinberg
    Feb 20 2023

    Warning - this episode contains explicit language. 

    In today's episode, Glenn and I had the amazing opportunity to hang out with soulful, spiritual, dynamic, hilarious, singer/songwriter and spiritual powerhouse Amy Steinberg. 

    Beginning with gratitude, Amy told us that she believes she’s a dynamic expression of the most High Love, and that she lives in and creates a kaleidoscopic world of art, music, family, travel, and life. 

    Amy talked about falling in love with her mom, about happiness as her ambition, and how her intention is to get clear on what she really wants. 

    We talked about creativity, and not having to wait for or get anywhere to experience our most amazing life. We talked ministerial studies, gave some shout-outs to our classmates and teacher Dr. James Mellon, about success, and beauty and discord. Rose-coloured glasses, empathy, spiritual bypass, Maria Nemeth, and the lineage of Science of Mind are just a few of the topics that bubbled up during our lively, engaging, conversation. This and so much more. . . 

    Amy also treated us to two of her original tunes: “Love’s Life” and “One Step.” 

    Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end! Today’s “prize” was from “Gratitude” from "Love Without Conditions: Reflections of the Christ Mind" by Paul Ferrini.

    "Who do you Think you Are?" (episode #42) - Frances Litman
    Apr 24 2022
    In today's episode, Glenn and I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time with creative problem solver, award-winning multi-media artist and photographer, nature champion, sustainability advocate, self-professed possibilitist, and TEDx speaker, Frances Litman. Frances' opening response of, "I ask myself that all the time" opened the door to an engaging, passionate conversation on positivity, consciousness, the power of nature, asking ourselves what we want, and becoming aware that we are always creating our future in the present moment. Frances talked about her teen years working at a local newspaper, and the transition from typewriters, newswire, and film to computers, internet, and digitization. Truth seeking, asking questions, interconnectivity, critical thinking, the creative process, perception, David Suzuki, looking through lenses, always choosing, the virtual life of today's youth, the empowerment of being in nature, solutions, narrative, First Nations wisdom, and the power of prayer and meditation are just some of the topics that bubbled up during our time together.

    "Who do you Think you Are?" (episode #41) - Donna Palmer
    Apr 23 2022
    In this episode, Glenn and I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with avid learner, passionate educator, questioner, energy enthusiast, particle and/or wave of God, and new friend, Donna Palmer. From the get go, Donna shared how curiosity, observing, searching, and asking questions is such a fulfilling way to approach life. We talked interconnectedness, and how life and ageing can often lead to labels, making things solid, and leave little from for questioning. We talked Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, Henry Nelson Weiman, evolution, polarization, and how important it is to discover things for yourself rather than depend on the media or others to tell you "like it is." Donna shared her thoughts about education and how what once worked no longer does. We discussed the concept of "fitting into little boxes," about people serving the organization rather than the organization serving the people, external drivers, limited resources, and "reserv(ing) the right to improve upon the best" we knew. Covid as a change agent, the evolution of news, fact vs. opinion, responsibility and choice, tuning into the vibration of the earth, trusting ourselves, and "putting it into a question" are just some of the topics that bubbled up during our time together.

    "Who do you Think you Are?" (episode #40) - Rev. Patricia Zogar
    Apr 17 2022
    Warning! This episode contains explicit language. In this episode, Glenn and I had the delightful opportunity to spend some time in conversation with the thoughtful, funny, insightful, one-time nurse, actor, aboriginal ally, addict supporter, actor, and ordained minister - among other things - Rev. Patricia Zogar. Rev. Patricia's very candid response of, "I don't have a clue" opened the door to a wonderful, contemplative, inspirational, and often humorous conversation about Consciousness, and how, in Rev. Patricia's mind, we are a blend of the memories of what we've done, the attention focused on "right now," and the aspirations for the future. She told us about her initial resistance to Christianity and the idea that people need to be saved from something (by Jesus); about not apologizing for who you are; and, about balancing personal vs. collective reality. We talked about EST/Landmark, affirmative prayer, how saying "thank you" turns God into a person, and how vital it is for inclusivity to be demonstrated rather than just talked about. We talked Jesus, Buddha, and paganism, and how important it is to see and connect with the beauty of nature. Rev. Patricia talked about how everything and nothing is important, and that, even after decades of being on her spiritual journey, she continues to go through dark nights of the soul. Accountability, discomfort, noticing, "All is well," sense of purpose, waiting to die, cancer, generational trauma, attention vs. intention, the mind/body connection, Christian Science vs. New Thought - these are just some of the topics that bubbled up during our time together.

    "Who do you Think you Are?" (episode #38) - Danielle Lebeau Petersen
    Mar 21 2022
    In this episode, Glenn and I had the absolutely lovely opportunity to spend some time with singer/songwriter, guitarist, deep thinker, Spice Girls fan, contemplatively curious thinker, and gem of a friend, Danielle Lebeau Petersen! Danielle told us from the start what a big, beautiful question she thinks "Who do you think you are?" is. Feeling lucky to be loved, she spoke of her love of lyric and her brain being peppered with lyric all the time. We talked music, songwriting, the vast pool of Consciousness that is forever flowing through us all, living in harmony, awareness, and grace. Danielle shared why she loves singing covers so much, speaking to the unifying power of connection that is sparked when singing someone's favourite song. We also talked about how covers can introduce us to another artist's music, that every version has something to offer, and how covers can mark the time in which they were released. She also took us on a bit of a history lesson, speaking to the dissemination of music over the ages and through different mediums. Somewhere in the midst of all that, Danielle treated us to her original tune, "Falling Rain." This, and so much more. . . ! Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end!

    "Who do you Think you Are?" (episode #37) - Stacey Burgess
    Mar 17 2022
    In this episode, Glenn and I had the delightful opportunity to catch up with award-winning chocolatier, founder and creative genius behind "Live on Chocolate", art school graduate, skincare developer, and good friend, Stacey Burgess. Curious maker, long-time vegan, entrepreneur, and champion of organic, fairly-traded ingredients, Stacey talked about how losing herself in her company has allowed her to discover who she is - beyond her work. We talked about awareness, the stairways above and below the pigeon-holed ideas we can often have of each other, stress, resilience, perseverance, and commitment and care that comes from within. Lesia and Stacey reminisced about their time spent at Lesia's former bakery, LPK's Culinary Groove, sharing their commitment to sustainability, and the imagination and creativity that comes out in what we do. Stacey also talked about her recent foray into skincare. She shared how much she loves and values blending various aromas and ingredients, bringing them together in ways that support people in overcoming shame and judgement about themselves because of how they see their skin, experiencing that shame and judgement fade away as their skin becomes more vibrant, allowing them to really see themselves, perhaps for the first time. We also talked inspiration, joy, perfume, anti-oxidants, beauty, love, and of course. . . chocolate! This, and so much more. . . ! Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end!
