This is the episode where I talk about memories. It was recorded Christmas 2021, but is just airing.-----------I am a collection of thoughts and memories and likes and dislikes. I am the things that have happened to me and the sum of everything I've ever done. I am the clothes I wear on my back. I am every place and every person and every object I have ever come across. I am a bag of bones stuck to a very large rock spinning a thousand miles an hour.Macaulay Culkin

On this episode, I offer my thoughts/suggestions on things to consider in 2022, for those who are not voluntarily single and who are hoping to find a special someone this year.I initially was going to tag it finding love, but love sometimes seems so abstract, especially when you can't put a face to it, so let's focus on finding a special someone, and see how those feelings evolve.All the best in life & love...'Kemjika

This is the conversation where we talk about parenting vis-à-vis shame & guilt.  The episode is much longer than any other I've posted so far, but I couldn't bring myself to cut it short.

On today's episode of the podcast, I have with me, Erin, my very first guest!!! We will be inviting you into a conversation that we bonded over. Our first phone call was supposed to revolve around genealogy and true crime (our shared loves!), but we ended up chatting for almost two hours about grief & loss! It was truly emotional and I'm very honoured to have her share so openly and vulnerably with me. I  wish you all had been flies on the wall for our first conversation which wasn't recorded. Well, you weren't, so this is what you get!Enjoy and don't forget to like, share and subscribe (in no particular order!).RecommendationDare to Lead by Brene Brownhttps://www.amazon.ca/Dare-Lead-Brave-Conversations-Hearts/dp/0399592520
