We are Humans
This week Michael and Nazia stop by and we talk about an end to genocide and war. We talk about love, humanity, and a need for us to love one another regardless of whatever we may believe in. The answer remains to be love. Thank you Nazia and Michael for joining us and engaging in a talk about recognizing our humanity and making decisions from a place of love.

2023 Wrap Up
This week, Michelle and Darcy sit down with me and we take a look back over 2023. We talk about how difficult it can be to keep pushing forward when the world appears like it's imploding. When our fellow humans commit genocide on women, children, whole families, and bloodlines across the ocean and call it war. 2023 saw the whole world grieving.

Joey's Story
This week's guest, Joey, shares his unbelievable journey with us. In this episode we discuss adult themes that may not be suitable for all ages. Joey's openness about the life he's lived and how he came to be living in Calgary, Alberta Canada is commendable. Without giving away too much, I'll say that my pops was always right, love is the most transformative power there is. Love can bring the light from a long buried darkness even after people tried to extinguish the light as a child. Thank you Joey, we appreciate your courage, strength and hope.

Free Palestine - Stop the Stack YYC
This episode is a special episode in which Darcy and I show our support of freeing Palestine! Stopping the continued genocide of Indigenous people across planet Earth including Palestinians. Stopping the stack against Taylor and Adora because its an obvious smear campaign attack on both of these powerful humans... Who's next on the watch list? You, me, maybe all of us if we get out of line....and a couple of other pertinent ideas along the way. In hopes of a future where all children are considered equal and there are no more excuses for murdering them anywhere on this green rock.
