Jess MacLeish is co-founder of the Peninsula Surf Sisters and an advocate for helping women find their strength. After overcoming a toxic relationship, addiction and then burnout, Jess found the tools that have led her to start living life on her terms. Through a journey that traversed the heights of burlesque dancing and then through some of what she describes as being her darkest times, Jess has learnt how important the aspects of community and allowing people the space to find their own tools, are. The focus of what Jess advocates for is less about her story and more about what as community we can do to support each other, and how she found much of that by getting back into the ocean. In this podcast we talk openly about how energy flows through us to give light to ideas that are of service to others and that in the case of the Peninsula Surf Sisters, it was women coming together at the same time with the same idea, that birthed a movement of women, for women, exactly when it was needed.

Overcoming addiction and a whole lot of toxicity in life to rise up strong within herself is exactly what the amazing Jess MacLeish has done. In this episode of the podcast, we get so much wisdom from Jess about igniting your sass, overcoming anxiety, the wonderful world of burlesque dancing, and the incredible healing power of sisterhood. Jess MacLeish is 40 years young, lives by the ocean on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, with her beautiful husband, and her parents across the road…and she is the happiest she's ever been! Her personal journey has been full of ups and downs; but she wouldn't change a thing, because her experiences have left a deep commitment to living a heart centred, embodied life, and a burning desire to help others do the same. Jess' professional background ranges from the grit of social work to the glamour of burlesque dancing, which led her to create Bring The SASS workshops for women. SASS is an acronym for Self Awareness, Sensuality and Soul, the three things that helped her the most in her own self recovery. Jess feels honoured to hold space for women to come home to themselves through dance and embodiment. She is also part of the leadership team of Peninsula Surf Women, and loves encouraging women in her community to lift each other up and claim their space in the water. _____ Connect with Jess:

A nostalgic look back at our favorite hockey hero's who wore the red, white and blue for the Rangers during the 1960's,70's and 80's. In episode number 39 we discuss the Rangers quick "play in " exit losing to the Hurricanes as well as the excitement surrounding "winning" the draft lottery and the impact that presumptive first overall pick Alexis La freniere will make on the club. We then segway to our main topic and revisit the epic 1973-74 Stanley Cup semi-finals between the Rangers and the Flyers. * What do Rangers fans and management take away from the rangers disappointing "play in" exit vs Carolina ? Is this team built physically and mentally for the rigors of the NHL Playoffs ? * Why did Quinn deviate from his regular season rotation and play Lundqvist over Georgiev after Shesterkin was deemed unfit to play ? *Will Lafreniere leap ahead of Brad Park and turn out to be the greatest Rangers player drafted when his career is all said and done? Will Lafreniere provide the grit, muscle, leadership and elite offensive talent so lacking amongst Rangers forwards. * The 1973-74 Flyers nicknamed the " Broad Street Bullies" were   a young , hungry,  intimidating and skilled team committed to initiating withering and relentless physical punishment on the opposition. *The Rangers were an established and veteran club anxious to rebound from a subpar regular season yet confident after beating the defending Stanley Cup Champion Canadiens in the previous round. * Dave Schultz mentioned before the clubs met that he preferred to play the Rangers because of their history of choking in the playoffs. * The Flyers physically dominated the first two games in Philadelphia  with Rick MacLeish, Ross Lonsberry and Bernie Parent the stars. * The Rangers rebounded in games 3 and 4 despite the Flyers taking an early 2-0 lead in Game 3. Brad Park and Rod Gilbert were the stars for the Rangers with Gilbert scoring one of the greatest OT goals in Rangers history in Game 4 evening up the series at 2.  * MacLeish dominated for the Flyers in their game 5 win at home while Park, Vickers and Gilbert did the same for the Rangers in their game 6 win at home forcing a deciding game 7 in Philadelphia. *In the most humiliating game 7 loss in franchise history and possibly in all of NY Sports history the Rangers lost 4-3 and earned the distinction of being the first original six franchise to lose to an expansion team during the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Rangers were physically punished ( with Dale Rolfe pummeled by Dave Shultz and the Rangers defenseman unable to protect Eddie Giacomin and keep the physical Flyers forwards from crashing the net down low leading to two goals by Dornhoefer, Kindrachuck and MacLeish) played sloppy defense in front of Giacomin and most egregiously of all  captain Vic Hadfield caught laughing in the penalty box to end the game and the season for the Rangers due to a too many men on the ice penalty.  * The Flyers went on to beat the Boston Bruins in the finals to capture the franchises first of two consecutive Stanley Cups.

The road to bringing perpetrators to justice can go through the criminal and/or civil justice system(s). Considering the relatively small percentage of assault cases that are brought forward by district attorneys, especially in the case of intimate partner abuse, the civil legal system is an avenue to punish perpetrators. The impact on the victim of assault and abuse are high. There is a substantial physical, emotional and economic cost to untreated trauma. The victim may not have resources to ensure that she can get the services that have the potential to get her well and functioning. A civil remedy may be the best way to ensure that the victim gets financial support for her recovery AND generate acknowledgement that she was harmed. This may be especially important for intimate partner violence where children are involved and monetary resources are used a weapon to keep the victim silent.After my daughter was assaulted, we sought out legal counsel at the encouragement of people who had witnessed or been through sexual assault. Without this knowledge, I’m not sure that I would have reached out to an attorney. For us it was a way to seek a remedy to the crime that had occurred. It also gave some power and voice back to my daughter. That’s why I’ve reached out to renowned attorney Eric MacLeish to speak to the audience on Life After Abuse Pod. Mr. MacLeish was instrumental in getting a remedy for many victims in the Boston Archdiocese Priest abuse scandal and has continued to advocate for victims of sexual assault.

“Are we prepared to defend democratic principles? Of course not.” ~Robert M. Hutchins Robert M. Hutchins said this in 1940!  If society was steeped in relativism then, what about now?  As a mother, you may ask, "What can I do about it?"  The answer is more simple than you may think:  create a principle-centered home. According to Mortimer Adler, those who teach are more influential than those who write a country's novels and make its laws.  As a mother, you are your children's most impactful teacher. Listen to this episode to find out what you can do to recapture your children by showing them evidence of Natural Law through principle-based living.  See how you can build a strong foundation that will become a bedrock of strength, courage and faith for generations to come as you become a truth seeker who understands what principles are and knows how find and live them.

In the whole realm of social thought there can, therefore, be nothing but opinion.  Since there is nothing but opinion, everybody is entitled to his own opinion…If everything is a matter of opinion, force becomes the only way of settling differences of opinion.  And, of course, if success is the test of rightness, right is on the side of the heavier battalions.” ~Robert M. Hutchins, 1940 “We must believe that man can discover truth, goodness, and right by the exercise of his reason, and that he may do so even as to those problems which, in the nature of the case, science can never solve…” ~Robert M. Hutchins “If the teachers of the country, and more than the teachers, their higher-ups, are in this [relativistic] state of mind, can we expect the present generation to be otherwise?  Mr. MacLeish may think that those who write a country's novels are more influential than those who make its laws.  I think that those who teach its youth are more, immeasurably more influential than either.” ~Mortimer J.Adler “There is something we can do to recapture our children and more of this generation.  Our children…are being robbed of the evidence that would  buoy up their faith.  They don't have the rational arguments for truth and natural laws.  And it's because this started so long ago.  It has not been on the landscape for 100 years or more…Ultimately it has to be a movement, we have to do this together.” ~Audrey Rindlisbacher “Our greatest need is the clearest understanding of what democracy means, the most patient rational articulation of its principles.  And I do not mean that this should be a rare secret, possessed by the favored few who have written books on the subject.  I mean it should belong to the masses.  [The schools'] aim must be the same as that of the church and the home, namely, the development of the moral virtues.” ~Mortimer J. Adler “You and I can start now.  We can move forward.  We can train our minds and our hearts, and we can train ourselves to better lead our families.  We can be truth seekers who understand what principles are, who know how to find, delineate, and live them and build strong foundations that become a bedrock of strength and courage and faith for future generations.” ~Audrey Rindlisbacher “To claim truth for what one is saying is not to be intolerant of others who may differ, for we can try to speak the truth 'with malice towar...

Ken MacLeish offers an ethnographic look at daily lives and the true costs borne by soldiers, their families, and communities, in his new book Making War at Fort Hood: Life and Uncertainty in a Military Community (Princeton University Press, 2013). His intimate exploration of military lives makes salient the numerous and often contradictory ways that war enters into the everyday lives of soldiers and their families in Killeen, Texas. MacLeish begins by defining the site of research–Fort Hood is one of the largest military installations in the world, and many of the 55,000 personnel based there have served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He then moves to an intense and palpable examination of the embodied experience of being a soldier, making a striking argument that “war persist in the lives, bodies and social worlds it has touched” (4). Thus, he connects the experiences of the body and the mind, exploring both physical and mental pain and the issues that surround the pursuit of healing. Moreover, he analyzes the complex burdens placed on people’s relationships and the love that binds them in contradictory ways through the ins and outs of military life. The final chapters examine the gap between obligations and exchange in relation to the value of a soldier’s labor, showing how they materialize in different aspects of soldiers’ lives from the “burden of gratitude” to the overdistribution, and hence devaluation, of medals and honors. Interweaving brutally honest narratives with critical theory and anthropological analysis, MacLeish invites us to re-examine the condition of vulnerability pervasive in the words and lives of soldiers and their families in Fort Hood, fleshing out the myriad ways in which military life is always mired in the production of war, at home and abroad.
