Pam Dunn’s presence fills the airwaves as does her humour, insight and experience as an educator, guiding teacher and facilitator with youth and their communities and with individuals of all ages, genders and cultures. I hope you can take time to listen to Pam Dunn’s inspiring words.

How can we keep staying curious and keep learning? Pam Dunn is the perfect person to hear from as we make our way along this path of learning and living and contributing intentionally. Thank you Pam Dunn for illuminating the path of continuous learning, self-awareness and contributing to make this place feel safer, more just, brighter and just all around better for ourselves and for a place to raise our youth.

We covered much ground in this 2nd conversation together on the podcast. It’s always a sincere pleasure connecting with Pam. Click here for our 1st conversation together.

Topics covered in this episode include:
Pam sharing a recent big birthday
What it’s like bringing mindfulness education in to schools these days (in the USA). Critical race theory evidently did come up in the conversation.
The privilege we each carry.
Equality and equity and the distinctions of both.
Raising our youth and the questions we should be asking them.
Listen for all of this and more.
And wherever you find your podcasts –Julie in Conversation. #applepodcasts #spotify

Feet on the ground amidst the lockdown measures in Montreal.

Julie Cusmariu — Mon, 11 Jan 2021 19:48:20 +0000

Feet on the ground.
Intention for my day. Most days, but today especially. How are my toes? My heels? My ankles? My knees, my thighs, hips and chest? How is my heart feeling? My jaw, is it tight ? What about my brow? My eyes? What about my shoulders, are they by my ears? And my neck is it tense? Is my mouth pursed or relaxed? What in me is feeling soft and relaxed? Any part of me? How are my arms and fingers and wrists? And what about you and all parts of you? The inside of you, the outside, the visible and the invisible? All of your senses and your 6th sense too? What is being conveyed in this moment to you? Are your feet on the ground?

My boys are back to school today after almost 4 weeks at home for the holidays and pandemic measures. It’s lockdown in Montréal and the whole province of Quebec including a curfew for a month. Elementary school however is back on today. I’m feeling a lot. A lot related to motherhood, the pandemic, motherhood in a pandemic and the state of the world, friends and neighbours south of the border, friends and neighbours overseas and of course the state of the planet.

So today I am especially noticing where my feet are. Consciously getting more grounded, in my body and out of the mental chatter. Consciously spending the time to feel, to know, to wonder, connect and to ground. Always a process. In and out. Head to toes. Deep breaths. In and out. Feeling and then frozen and feeling again. Reaching out, pulling back in. Knowing what I need changes everything and that can take time. Grateful to know and grateful when I can reach for it and receive.
What do you need today to take care of you? Thinking of you. You who I know and you who I do not yet know. Peace.

I am here for you. Check out how I can support you (as a Certified Life Coach based in Montreal, Canada, a Certified Mentor Coach and Intuitive Consultant) in being present to yourself, your needs, your desires and and the impact you want to make.

Cheers.

For the first time publicly, Asha Frost, Indigenous Medicine Woman, Mentor and Visionary read out loud, publicly, her blog post that went viral earlier this year. ‘ Dear White Woman who wants to be like me’. Asha Frost shared the impact of sharing her letter and what actually happened when she spoke her truth and not everyone liked it.

In Asha’s words, “I’m speaking my most vulnerable share of the year out loud, into a microphone. I haven’t practiced, I haven’t tried it out yet, I’m just asking my ancestors to surround me with the love and courage that they have planted into my cells. Speaking up, speaking louder, reclaiming my voice.”

Please listen and may you benefit and share with with those you know who will benefit too. Asha’s voice, is kind and powerful and healing and it is crucial that we listen. Thank you Asha and thank you listeners.
