Indigenous media creators often end up in this trope of educating their audiences. It can be exhausting rehashing intergenerational trauma, reconciliation, and calls to action. More and more Indigenous creatives are looking for the space to just exist and advocate for joy, and Adeline Bird is one of them. In this episode, she joins Matriarch Movement to discuss the things that are top of mind for storytellers: where is there room for representation in the media landscape, who really “owns” the Indigenous stories, and how will all of this impact the future of Indigeneity in media? More About Adeline Bird: Adeline Bird is an Afro-Anishnabe author, filmmaker, and producer. She grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, but is a proud member of Treaty #4 Rolling River First Nations. She has produced segments for daytime television hit shows such as CTV's The Social & Etalk. Adeline is a graduate of the National Screen Institute's CBC New Indigenous Voices program, where she made her directorial debut with the short film Nappy Hair and Eagle Feather, now featured on CBC Gem. Adeline was one of the 2018 ImagiNative-APTN pitch winners, and part of the 2019 cohort of Telefilm Canada's Talent To Watch. https://indigenousfashionarts.com/profiles/adeline/ https://www.instagram.com/adeline.bird/ Thanks for checking out this episode of the Matriarch Movement podcast!

It used to be that podcast downloads were the main data point podcasters would use to track their growth. The thinking was, get X amount of downloads per month and sponsors will jump at you with wallets full of cash. While that may have been the way back in the day, today's success metrics looks a lot different when it comes to podcast success. In this special live recording of In & Around Podcasting from PodSummit YYC 2024 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Danny is joined by Kattie Laur and Tim Truax to talk about how you can take advantage of them, and reframe your thinking and discussion around monetization and sponsorship.Takeaways: The podcasting industry is evolving, and metrics should extend beyond just downloads. Engaged listeners are more valuable than sheer download numbers when seeking sponsorships. Indie podcasters should focus on local sponsorships to create meaningful monetization opportunities. Understanding your audience's engagement can help shape your content and sponsorship strategies. Value for value models allow listeners to support creators without traditional sponsorships. Experimenting with different ad formats can improve listener retention and engagement rates.

Leslie Hampton's work as a fashion designer has been making waves across the fashion industry. She's dressed A-listers like Lily Gladstone, and been named Forbes 30 Under 30 and Vogue's No. 1 Canadian designer.

More about Lesley Hampton: Lesley Hampton is an Anishinaabe artist and fashion designer focused on mental wellness and body neutrality in fashion through the lens of the Indigenous worldview. Lesley is a member of Temagami First Nation, and she identifies as an adult 'Third Culture Kid' with her formative years spent in Canada's Arctic and Atlantic, Australia, England, Indonesia, and New Caledonia.

Advocating for Indigenous youth means you need to be tapped into a lot of different sources. For Kairyn Potts, that means not only being ultra internet-savvy, but also having a personal connection to the system that impacts Indigenous youth on a massive scale: the foster care system. Kairyn is passionate about advocating for young people, and has gained an incredible following on social media for the careful and clever content that he creates around Indigenous issues. Kai is also the co-founder of Neechi Clan, an Indigenous gaming community of over 600 members that is connecting Indigenous young people while advocating for support from big names in the gaming world, like EA. In this episode, Shayla Stonechild has a very transparent conversation with Kairyn to find out more about what it means to meet Indigenous youth where they're at, how addiction is impacting them, and what two spirit representations means for decolonization.

What does it mean to bring Indigeneity into colonial spaces, especially into the government? Michelle Friesen, City Councilor for the City of Whitehorse, knows a thing or two about it. In October 2021 she was elected as the first Indigenous woman to serve on Whitehorse City Council – the first Indigenous person to sit in City Council in 30 years. Early this year, Michelle and her son, Theo, were in the media after she faced complaints by fellow city council members to stop bringing her son to meetings, an act that is rooted in her Indigeneity. Michelle joins Shayla to look at the cultural and historical context of Matriarchy and motherhood in places of decision making and how she views her role, and the role of Matriarchs-in-the-making, in colonial governing institutions.

On this week's edition of "Producers Interviewing Producers," we've got Kattie Laur, a podcast producer from the Toronto area. But she's more than just that. In fact, the main subject of this episode is her newsletter, Pod The North.Pod The North is designed around the idea of creating a community for Canadian podcasters, since in all her years of working with audio, she noticed there wasn't really a space or a resource for us Canucks to come together and talk about podcast stuff. So what could she do, but create one herself? She also works freelance for Canadaland, as well as AM640 radio in Toronto.We speak with Kattie about all these things, before getting into a hefty discussion about Bill C-11 and whether or not we think it'll actually lead to a positive change in the Canadian media space (Spoiler alert: we're doubtful).For more of Kattie, check out her website or follow her on Twitter or LinkedIn. And if you haven't already, definitely join the Pod The North newsletter on Substack.

For a long time it's been non-Indigenous people telling Indigenous stories, and that means that stereotypes and a lack of humanity and empathy has been perpetuated in the media for years. Award-winning Indigenous podcaster and journalist, Connie Walker, joins the Matriarch Movement podcast to discuss her approach to trauma-informed storytelling, and what it was like to uncover the truth behind her family's history in Canada's residential school system. We unpack the power in giving Indigenous people the agency and the opportunity to tell their own stories, why we're so inspired by the younger generation, and what a meaningful future could look like for native journalists.

Where do Indigenous youth find the space to be revolutionary? Riley Yesno has explored the many facets of Indigenous resurgence throughout most of her life, and has been advocating for “reconciliation” since she was 15 years old. Her time on the Prime Minister's Youth council was troubling – proudly hailing herself as a “shit disturber” – but that time still inspired her interest in native politics. Today she's working on her PhD, studying Indigenous youth and reconciliation and hosts the podcast, REDsurgence. We discuss the state of Indigenous youth revolutions from in-person community, to organizing and representation in the digital age, and Land Back and what it really means for Indigenous futurism.

What happens when Indigenous fashion is on the global stage? In February 2023, Sage Paul took seven Indigenous designers to Milan Fashion Week as a part of a three-year partnership between Indigenous Fashion Arts and White Milano, a tradeshow for international womenswear. Sage Paul is the Founding Executive and Artistic Director at Indigenous Fashion Arts, and in this episode I talk to her about her goal of increasing the visibility of Indigenous artists and the impact of partnerships like the one with White Milano. We also unpack some of the important themes that come up in the Indigenous fashion space in North America like family and sovereignty, but also our complex relationships to fur and the Hudson's Bay Company, and how those themes impact Indigenous fashion.

TRU Beauty Confessions is a part of the EcoParent Podcast Network: https://www.ecoparent.ca/podcasts About the Episode:Trista explores what it was like to come to terms with a part of her appearance that is not considered the beauty standard, while actively participating in the entertainment industry. She talks about what it was like to try to hide this part of herself, and what happened when she finally took the cover off her big secret. She helps others understand the steps she took that could be applied to any ‘big secret' that we try hiding to move from shame and fear to owning it. We discuss what it meant to truly feel beautiful, what happened inside her body, and how others responded to her. This is a powerful episode that can empower the listener to take what they may view as a shortcoming and make it their beauty superpower! Guest Bio:Trista is a Canadian singer songwriter and film artist. She is currently promoting her new debut single called SMILE. Her music video is coming soon with an EP this year. She has been singing for as long as she can remember and performing ever since her mom forced her to enter a singing contest at the Santa Claus parade when she was nine. Long story short...she won! Trista discusses losing all the hair on her body when she was 10 years old due to an autoimmune disorder called alopecia. This led to her writing, directing and starring in a film called FOXY. It is a documentation of her experience with alopecia and through the filmmaking process learning to celebrate what I thought was her biggest flaw. It was later broadcasted on national TV. Though in a constant battle with my ADD, she is currently pursuing music.

She explains what a healthy skin routine looks like, how to find the right products and insure you aren't destroying your skin barrier. She goes on to also look at what is happening internally when acne is an issue, how to tell if your acne is hormonal, and what to do if it is. She covers realistic diet strategies to help maintain a healthy relationship to food but also understand how to increase nutrient dense foods and to decrease known acne triggers. She also talks about how she helps women dealing with post-pill acne and why the pill doesn't fix—and can even cause—acne. “Things will get better!” she says to teens struggling with acne. “Acne has been my greatest teacher. It has encouraged me to find the best version of myself.” If your teenager wants more, but doesn't want to listen to this whole episode, then my teenager simplifies the episode in her “Teen Splain”.

Raising Greener Teens is a part of the EcoParent Podcast Network: https://www.ecoparent.ca/podcastsAbout the Episode:Social Media is changing the teenage brain and interfering with the work a teenager must do to prepare for their future selves, but teens are also more dependent on social media than ever. What can a parent (and teen) do? In this episode Hayley Newell explains how the teenage years are the time for individuation where teens go from relying on an outside authority to an internal authority. To do this, dopamine forces them to feel more at this time to light the emotional spark and help them overcome the fear and reservation needed for them to “launch”. Social media interferes with this dopamine response and encourages passivity, it puts your teenager (and you) into situations ruled by mob mentality, and their social interactions are being controlled by an outside influence that makes money from grabbing their attention. Hayley guides us in thinking about how to question and survive social media, cancel culture, and our own relationship with our phones. Then my teenager simplifies it all in her “Teen Splain”. Guest Bio & Links:Hayley Newell is a registered therapeutic counselor and regular educator and podcast guest on issues related to the brain and nervous system. “Go to the source. Ask teenagers about their experiences. What are the challenges and the needs?” she says. To help you learn more she encourages everyone to read the book the The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults.

TRU Beauty Confessions is a part of the EcoParent Podcast Network: https://www.ecoparent.ca/podcasts About the Episode:In launching this dig into the beauty narrative, we felt it would be necessary as a starting place to get clarity of who we may be speaking to in our wider community. We sat with women from varying backgrounds, ages and lifestyles. We will be unpacking the truths involving our relationship with beauty and the way this impacts how we treat ourselves and others, the way we see ourselves, and feel in our bodies.We realized there can be no Green Beauty movement without understanding that true beauty is much more than skin deep. This is not a cliché but an intellectual understanding that beauty is a vibration or a frequency, it is something that we are able to ‘feel.' This feeling of ‘beautiful' is what unlocks our individual magic and prowess in our everyday lives. We will explore the four pillars of beauty, encompassing our physical, mental, emotional, and energetic selves. Our physical beauty pillar includes the ways by which we support our bodies with exercise, food, water and products, along with our physical appearance. Our mental beauty pillar includes the knowledge we have about our bodies and why they appear as they do at various stages in life and/or circumstances. Our emotional beauty pillar explores the way we feel about ourselves based on psychological, cognitive, societal, and/or hormonal influences. The energetic beauty pillar focuses on our vibration or frequency that we are emitting through reflection, self-love, self-care, spiritual practice, meditation, or anything that brings us into a closer relationship with our energetic body.When these beauty pillars are not in balance, then how we feel about ourselves has little to do with how we look. Although we can be bombarded with images of what is beautiful, the conditioned shame and guilt that accompanies this fed narrative only works to confuse and silence us on this topic, keeping a divide between who we are told to be and who we really are. Guests: Celeste Morrisseau is a 21-year indigenous young woman living downtown Toronto working as a telecommunications agent trying to figure out how to move through what can be a complex and difficult dating scene. She is honest about anxiety, depression and how she is coming to terms with beauty standards as a more full figure in today's world and whether men really accept the ‘thick' girl, while what it means to see beauty in another.Kate is 45, a mother of three, and attempting to embrace many new life changes including a change of career and lifestyle, along with a heightened awareness of what it means to acknowledge and love the evolving female body. Kate has recently retired from the position of a Special Education Teacher and is embarking on an environmental green dream of manufacturing unique and super classy tiny homes with her partner Andrew Miller.https://ninemilenorth.com/About Your Host Michelle Rosetta, Clinical Herbalist and Owner of BEE23 Natural Beauty:Michelle is a mother of four with over 20 years of experience in the health and beauty industry, inspired by her own sensitivities to synthetic ingredients in personal care products and a deep need to be good to the environment we share this world with.

Our bodies will tell us what we are lacking and what we need, if only we give it the space to speak to us. Emily discusses her journey from dis-ease to health with water and how changing her relationship with water impacted her whole body including the aesthetic of her physical self and skin. She delves into how she began to feel that the water she was consuming was a living force and was learning how to care for herself through simple mindful consumption of this resource. She confesses she hid for years behind a mask of makeup, and how it finally felt to show her face to her husband who in all the years of marriage had never seen her without makeup on.We touch on the topic of water on its own as the fundamental fountain of youth, and how imperative it is to care and protect this environmental resource. Our health is inextricably tied up in the health of our water that has circulated around this planet since time immemorial, holding important information to nourish all of our cells from inside out and outside in.About your Guest:Emily Cowley is a massage therapist, homeschooling mama and water educator.
