Fearless Practice
Integrating Land Tax and Reparations in Your Practice | Ep 166

Fearless Practice

Something has been bubbling up in me after watching a skit from Canada's Baroness von Sketch show a couple of years ago. In this sketch, they highlight how land acknowledgment without material giving can often feel performative or incomplete. So I decided to make a change in my own Canadian private practice. I have started donating a percentage of our monthly gross income to the Mi'kmaw Native Friendship Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In this episode, I'm sharing what “land tax” and “reparations” actually mean, why you may consider incorporating them into your private practice, and how you can start doing this in your practice or business. This may not be the whole answer, but it can be a meaningful step forward. In this episode:  Putting my money where my mouth is  What “land tax” and “reparations” actually mean  Why you should consider donating  How I make the donations in my private practice  Putting my money where my mouth is It's one thing to say we care about something—but in a capitalist society, the reality is that money carries immense power. The good news is, we can choose to direct that power toward justice by being intentional about where and how we spend, invest, and give. The issues of land reparations have always been close to my heart, and I am glad that I have started to practice this value instead of only talking about it.  What “land tax” and “reparations” actually mean Reparations refer to intentionally giving back or redistributing resources, often financial, to communities that have been harmed or dispossessed. In Canada's case, indigenous communities.  Reparations are also not just symbolic, they are material, consistent acts of accountability due to past colonization, land theft, and systemic harm.  Similarly, but distinct, land tax is a grassroots concept. It is not a government-enforced tax. Businesses and people can voluntarily donate money to indigenous communities, acknowledging that they are benefiting from living and working on indigenous land.  Why you should consider donating  Many people feel on the fence about contributing to something like land tax or reparations efforts because they believe that since they didn't personally steal the land, they shouldn't have to make amends for it. To be honest, this is something I've thought about too. But even then, I knew the way things were didn't sit right with me. Here's why you may want to consider paying land tax and reparations too:  1 - You are benefiting from stolen land  ‘Even if you didn't take the land yourself, you are living and working on it. Land that was never sold or surrendered. That benefit: housing, business, income, stability, comes from a colonial system that displaced indigenous peoples.' - Jules Smith  2 - It's about responsibility, not guilt  Land tax isn't about “feeling bad” or being blamed. It's about recognizing that we all have a role in repairing harm — especially if we benefit from systems that were built through dispossession. 3 - It supports indigenous-led solutions  ‘Your contribution helps fund community programs, housing, food security, cultural revitalisation, and other essential work - led by indigenous people for indigenous people!' - Jules Smith 4 - It's a form of reparative justice because it is one small step in a larger process of reconciliation It's one small, material step in a larger process of reconciliation. Words and land acknowledgments are important, but they don't change material conditions. Consistent giving is a way to restore some measure of balance. How I make the donations in my private practice  Each month, I head into my Jane App account and pull my monthly gross income report, which is created before business expenses are taken out.  I calculate the percentage I have committed to donating, and then I e-transfer that amount directly to a donation center I have chosen to partner with. It is that simple!  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Ep 165: Jenny Jonker: Building a Canadian Group Practice with Purpose | EP 165  Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Get some help and freebies on your website with WordPress!  Mentioned link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlG17C19nYo  Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn

Just as incredible, however, is the art of Brian Williams, who portrayed Magnamund for over ten years, from books 9 through 28. Today August and Jonathan honor Williams by examining the incredible evolution of his art as well as the transition from Chalk to Williams. Joining them is artist Justin Wyatt, known for his work on the anthology and upcoming Legends finale, and who brings years of professional training and experience to the examination of Williams style.

Interview by Angela CroudaceAmerican heavyweights Baroness are headed to Tasmania this month for the famously atmospheric and provocative Dark Mofo festival — and for the band, it was precisely that mystique that made them say yes."It was a pretty interesting offer to fly 20 to 30 hours around the globe to play one show," they laughed. "But the vibe of the festival fits us."It won't be their first time in Australia, but it will mark their long-awaited return to the island state. Reflecting on a previous visit to Tasmania in 2012, vocalist John Dyer Baizley recalled a surreal show where the audience had reportedly been dosed with LSD — "It was weird. But fun."Their set promises to be just as memorable this time around, featuring new material and even some deep cuts that haven't been played in over a decade. "We're excited. It's very likely we'll play some songs we've never played in Tasmania — or anywhere in a long time."Known for their evolving sound and richly illustrated album art, Baroness have always pushed sonic and visual boundaries. "We've given ourselves not just the right, but the obligation to push forward," they explained. "We build on what we've done, but we don't stand still."The band's iconic colour-themed albums were a deliberate early concept, though they've since moved on from it. As for the relationship between their music and artwork? "Typically, the artwork is a reflection of the music — and sometimes the lyrics. Though for newer albums like Stone, the music came first."Baroness are also mindful of the personal cost and discipline it takes to endure as musicians. Staying grounded and creatively fuelled comes down to "frustration" — and exercise. "To perform the way we want to, we have to align mind, body and spirit," they said. "We work out a lot more than people think. "On stage, they thrive on energy exchange. "We're not just playing songs — we're playing the audience. The show depends on them."Despite their openness, the band values maintaining some mystery. "In the era of oversharing, we think it's important for artists to preserve something for the listener to discover on their own." Don't expect them to give too much away in the way of behind-the-scenes tour vlogs, as seems to be the trend with artists these days; the band believes in leaving a little mystery to their fans.Be sure to catch Baroness as they bring their signature intensity and introspective edge to Dark Mofo this June — a performance perfectly at home in the festival's dark and immersive atmosphere.For more information on Dark Mofo follow this link: https://darkmofo.net.au/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

In the first BBC interview since launching a consultation on updating their Code of Practice in light of the judgment, Baroness Falkner explains who they want to hear from and why.Five years after the murder of George Floyd, a black man, by a white police officer in Minneapolis, a new BBC documentary is reflecting on the wave of Black Lives Matter protests that followed, including in the UK. Backlash: The Murder of George Floyd tells the story through the eyes of some of those who found themselves on the frontline during the spring and summer of 2020, including Khady Gueye, who made headlines after a local protest she planned in the Forest of Dean was initially cancelled. She joins Nuala, along with author, producer and speaker Nova Reid, to reflect on the impact the events of that time have had on their lives, and what has changed since then. Nuala is also joined by Sarah Pochin, the first female MP for the Reform UK Party. The Runcorn and Helsby by-election was won by just six votes - the closest result in modern history. A former Conservative Councillor and mayor for Cheshire East, Sarah was a magistrate for 20 years.

In this episode, she speaks to Lord McFall of Alcluith about why she campaigns on a range of topics.‘People carry on eating salmon, even though the way they're produced in salmon farms is absolutely horrifying. It is the lice. The fish in the farm suffer, quite often die in their pens because the lice have eaten so far into their flesh. Wild Atlantic salmon going past these fish farms can get poisoned by the toxic stuff, all the antibiotics and so on, coming off the farm fish.' Baroness Jones describes how members initially questioned the Green link to various issues when she first joined the Lords but how that has now changed. She explains ‘I had to explain to people everything is about the environment. If you build the wrong houses in the wrong place, then it's a disaster for future flooding, and so on.'Baroness Jones also shares how she came to the Lords after training as an archaeologist and later serving as a London Assembly Member and Deputy Mayor.See more from the series https://www.parliament.uk/business/lords/house-of-lords-podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

Baroness Catherine Ashton, formerly the European Union's lead for foreign and security strategy, discusses challenges, opportunities and tips for collaborative strategy-making. As the EU's first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Baroness Ashton was at the heart of international strategy making between 2009 and 2014 working on some of the world's most intractable problems. She was appointed by the UN Security Council to lead the P5+1 negotiations for a nuclear deal with Iran and was in post when Russia first invaded Ukraine, seizing Crimea and parts of the Donbas in 2014. She also led peace negotiations in the Western Balkans between Serbia and Kosovo, for which she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. In this episode, she reflects on strategy-making in an international and supranational context, the challenges facing Europe today and how ‘false binaries' – such as those that posit the EU and NATO as being in opposition – stifle effective strategy elaboration. She argues that strategy makers need preparedness of thought and action, the ability to ground their ambition both in reality but also in individual and organisational values, as well as the will to ask, and respond to, the key question of any adaptive strategy, ‘And then what?'. In an illustrious career, The Rt Hon The Baroness Catherine Ashton of Upholland LG GCMG PC was a minister, Leader of the House of Lords, the UK's first female Commissioner in the European Union and the High Representative and First Vice President for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in the Barroso Commission establishing the European External Action Service as a major actor in international affairs.

The Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking has issued a "wake-up call" to the world to act on what they deem "one of the most pervasive human rights issues of our time." The report makes several recommendations specifically for women and girls who make up 54% of the estimated 50 million people trapped in slavery around the world. They are more frequently targeted for forced marriage, sexual exploitation, and domestic labour. Nearly one in four victims are children. To discuss the topic Nuala McGovern was joined by the former Prime Minister, Baroness Theresa May and Nasreen Sheikh, who is a survivor of modern slavery.The Irish writer Edna O'Brien died last year at the age of 93. The last person to be granted an interview with her was the documentary maker Sinéad O'Shea.

The report makes several recommendations specifically for women and girls who make up 54% of the estimated 50 million people trapped in slavery around the world. They are more frequently targeted for forced marriage, sexual exploitation, and domestic labour. Nearly one in four victims are children. To discuss the topic Nuala McGovern is joined by the former Prime Minister, Baroness Theresa May and Nasreen Sheikh, who is a survivor of modern slavery.As the Six Nations passes the half way mark we speak to fans from each of the four nations to discuss their teams.

The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
Baroness Joanna Shields, Founder of the WeProtect Global Alliance, on Tackling Online Child Exploitation and Building a Safer Digital World for the Next Generation

In this powerful and urgent conversation, Baroness Joanna Shields offers a compelling account of her work founding and leading the WeProtect Global Alliance—a coalition of over 100 governments and 320 organisations uniting to combat the growing threat of online child sexual abuse and exploitation. A former tech executive and government minister, she bridges sectors to drive systemic change, confronting one of the most complex challenges of our time. She reflects on the Alliance's origins a decade ago, when the international community was still reluctant to acknowledge the prevalence of online predators and child exploitation. Since then, WeProtect has pushed the issue onto the global policy agenda, created a model national response framework, and developed comprehensive threat assessments that inform governments worldwide. Yet despite progress, the scale and severity of online harms remain staggering, and Baroness Shields warns of a worsening crisis if action stalls. At the heart of the problem lies a lack of cohesive age assurance infrastructure across the internet. Unlike in the physical world—where age restrictions govern access to alcohol, voting, or driving—digital spaces remain largely unregulated. This regulatory vacuum leaves children vulnerable to harmful content and predatory behaviour. She argues that responsibility cannot rest solely on parents, who are often overwhelmed and ill-equipped to navigate the evolving digital landscape. Instead, the tech industry must lead with shared standards, particularly through the adoption of a universal, privacy-respecting age signal that follows a child across platforms. The conversation explores the tension between safety and free expression. In this context, Baroness Shields sees age assurance as a pragmatic solution that empowers families and safeguards children without compromising the broader architecture of the open internet. Artificial intelligence emerges as both a promising tool and a dangerous vector. AI can be deployed to detect grooming behaviour and prevent exploitation. But it also enables new forms of abuse—like AI-generated sexual imagery and manipulative chatbots targeting minors.  Throughout the episode, Baroness Shields remains clear-eyed about the challenge but anchored in optimism. She believes in the transformative potential of technology—if it is shaped by common sense, accountability, and a commitment to protecting the most vulnerable. Her call is for an alliance of the willing—governments, tech leaders, civil society—to coalesce around a shared digital future where children are empowered to thrive, not endangered by design.

Louis XIV, King of France from 1638 to 1715, ruled over the court at Versailles with the sheer magnetism of his personality. All were desperate to be in the light of the sun king. His image was paramount to maintaining his place at the center of the Universe. The 5'4” monarch wore high heels and voluminous wigs. And he made sure the world knew he was a virile man with plenty of mistresses. While at least 20 women came and went from his majesty's bed, he was emotionally devoted to 3 women in succession; Louise de La Vallière, Madame de Montespan and finally Madame de Maintenon whom he secretly married after the death of his Queen.

Brenda Hale, Baroness Hale of Richmond, is a former judge who served as the first female president of the Supreme Court. In 2019 she announced the court's judgement that the prorogation of Parliament was ‘unlawful, void and of no effect'. The twinkling spider brooch she wore that day caused a sensation and set social media aflame.
