I sat down with Nicole Robertson, a journalist and founder of Muskwa Productions, to talk about where her voice comes from and how she's used it to tell hard stories for nearly 30 years.With Cree and Scottish roots, she spoke about growing up between cultures and the early experiences that shaped her sense of identity. We talked about the loss of her childhood friend Neil Stonechild, her early reporting on residential school survivors, and why she built a media company to ensure Indigenous stories are told by the people living them. She also shared how grounding practices, time in nature, and ceremony help her stay connected to the work.The episode explores journalism, identity, responsibility, and the long path to telling stories that matter.How To Connect:Jeff Humphreys - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.jeffhumphreys.caNicole Robertson - https://muskwaproductions.comPodcast Location - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.modelmilk.caPodcast Production - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.shortlinecreative.com

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.

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. In this episode, Leslie unpacks what it means to be a trailblazer in Indigenous Fashion, the inspiration behind her pieces and her style sessions – especially as a body neutrality advocate, and what she means when she says that her designs are for everyone. 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.

That first $5 typewriter Nicole Robertson got when she was a little girl helped put her on the path to becoming a network television journalist. But she went far beyond those early reporting days to become a leading communications pro focusing on national and regional Indigenous organizations. Nicole, a Cree member of Mathias Colomb First Nation, has dedicated her life to creating awareness about Indigenous peoples through the media. Robertson is a national speaker and has been invited on many occasions to present master classes on communications, as well in lending her voice as a master of ceremonies or keynote speaker for many national conferences. Her journalism career has taken across North America and into the United Kingdom; writing, directing, producing, and reporting on issues that encompass Indigenous communities. In 2001, Nicole created and founded Muskwa Productions & Consulting, which specializes in communication advisory services that include media and public relations, media training, social media, event and video production. Muskwa Productions is assisting Indigenous peoples in their communication strategies and needs to create accurate representations of their news and events in educating and informing mainstream media, Canadians and the world in sharing their stories. Nicole Robertson's story was published in a book on Phenomenal Female Entrepreneurs by Second Story Press. The Cree Entrepreneur is serving as a Board Director for Travel Alberta which is under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism through the Province of Alberta. Ms. Robertson recently completed her term as a member of the First Nations Women's Council on Economic Security through the Province of Alberta.

How can we slow down fashion, get more use out of clothes, but also have clothes that fit us — literally and figuratively speaking — at the current point in our lives?Well, that's something that clothes swapping is ideal for! Swapping allows us to responsibly re-home our existing garments that no longer suit us while being able to access different pieces that would fit us better, size wise, color wise, style wise or otherwise.Swapping is a great way to extend the lives of clothes, so I knew that I wanted to cover this topic in our second season all about circular fashion and slowing down consumption.In this episode, I am chatting with Nicole Robertson about all things swapping. Nicole is the founder of Swap Society, an online clothing swap shop for women and kids making it easy — and affordable — to switch up your wardrobe more sustainably. Nicole is sharing:The benefits of swapping — from an environmental impact perspective and also in our own livesHow swapping might change the relationship we have with our closets and our personal styleThe impact that evolving fashion trends have on the secondhand market, including swappingAnd what online swapping through Swap Society looks like  FULL SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPThttps://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/clothes-swapping-swap-society/  RELEVANT LINKS:Swap Society Styling ServicesSwap Society's Collection  CONNECT WITH NICOLE & SWAP SOCIETYSwap Society WebsiteSwap Society InstagramSwap Society TwitterSwap Society TikTokSwap Society Facebook  CONNECT WITH CONSCIOUS STYLE:Conscious Life & Style WebsiteInstagramPinterestConscious Edit NewsletterYouTube  

Whether it is through the words of the pope, his representatives the bishops and archbishops, or its surrogates in the medical profession, the Catholic Church remains the most determined force against voluntary assisted dying in Australia. In 2020, The Vatican released its latest encyclical on assisted dying and euthanasia. They called it Samaritanus Bonus – the Good Samaritan – and this is what it had to say about people who seek assistance to die. “Experience confirms that the pleas of gravely ill people who sometimes ask for death are not to be understood as implying a true desire for euthanasia; in fact, it is almost always a case of an anguished plea for help and love.” Requests for assistance to die are ‘not to be understood as a true desire for euthanasia.’ In other words, the people making them are somehow misguided. According to this narrative, people making such requests are likely to be demoralised; lonely; abandoned, feeling like a burden; or struggling to find meaning in – or even giving up on - their lives. And that, with the right kind of love and care, these things can be addressed. In this episode, we hear from some of the most senior figures in Australian palliative care. We also hear from others who have a different understanding of such requests, and who believe that the people who make them can be both considered and rational. Professor Michael Ashby Photo: Supplied Palliative care clinician Molly Carlile AM: “It has to be about why are we doing this. Who is it for? If it's about us, we have to ask: how does our view on a whole lot of things influence our practice?” photo: Supplied   “It is not the role of any healthcare team to suggest that its ministrations can give meaning, purpose and dignity to a dying person’s remaining life if that person feels that these are irretrievably lost...

There are many firsts in Betty King’s life. First female prosecutor for the state of Victoria. First female prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Australia. First female silk in Victoria. Now another – first Chair of Victoria’s Voluntary Assisted Dying Review Board. Reporting to parliament, the Board oversees the processes of the law with its 68 safeguards, ensuring that doctors adhere to the rules, and that the people seeking assistance to die are competent and not being coerced. Of all the doubts raised by MPs in the parliamentary debate about assisted dying, none was more frequent than the fear that a vulnerable person may be coerced to their death by heartless relatives through the VAD law.  In this episode, we meet Betty – the “Guardian of the Safeguards’ – as well as doctors, palliative care physicians, pharmacists, VAD Care Navigators, and families of those who have been through the process to find out whether any of those fears have turned out to be true. And we discover there is another, unwritten safeguard:  To take this path, you have to have enormous courage. The Hon. Betty King QC, Chair of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Review Board speaking on the panel at the Wheeler Centre's Last Words: Voluntary Assisted Dying event - Photo: Tiffany Garvie   “It's not an easy process. But neither it should be. This is the ending of a life. And it ought to be treated in a serious manner.

Imagine turning up to work one day to discover flyers outside your office accusing you of being a ‘death peddler’ and an ‘Uber service for poison’. Professor Michael Dooley runs Victoria’s Statewide Pharmacy Service. When voluntary assisted dying became legal it was his job, and that of his team, to come up with medication that would effectively and painlessly end a terminally ill person’s life - and also a way to safely get it to them. Statewide pharmacists Prof Michael Dooley (right) and David Seymour. “We've told them very, very clearly that if they take that medication, it will kill them. Saying that the first time to someone sitting two feet in front of you is probably the hardest part.” - Photo: Juliet Lamont Michael and his team are the last step – and the final safeguard – in the long legal process a dying person has to go through to access the medication. What is it like to walk into someone’s home to give them a draught designed to end their life? Who do they meet and what do they hear? And what happens if, at this very last step, they have to tell someone, ‘I’m sorry, but no.’? “We find leaving very, very difficult. Because you have to say goodbye... and we've all talked about how we do it… And there's no easy way and we all have our own little way. You know, it's not a normal goodbye.” Professor Michael Dooley Nicole Robertson and Jacqui Hicks, with a photo of their mum Kerry Roberston. - Photo: Kristian Silva, ABC Melbourne The Locked Box. - Photo: Supplied Know More Visit Go Gentle Australia gogentleaustralia.org.au Article: ‘Lethal medication sourced for Victoria’s voluntary euthanasia scheme’ – The Age, 4 January 2019 Article: ‘Bendigo woman becomes first to use Victoria's Voluntary Assisted Dying law’ -- Go Gentle Australia, 4 August 2019 Audio: ‘Daughters' emotional tribute to Kerry Robertson, Victoria's first person to use voluntary euthanasia laws’ – ABC Melbourne Mornings with Jon Faine, 5 August 2019 Article: ‘Voluntary euthanasia to begin in Victoria as assisted dying laws take effect this week’ – ABC News, 16 June 2019 In this episode (in order of appearance): Kristin Cornell, Michael Dooley, Nicole Robertson, Debra M, Kristin Cornell, Jacqui Hicks, Jon Faine, Jean Caliste, Katie Harley, Liz Le Noble, Jason McKey Credits Better Off Dead is produced by the Wheeler Centre and Go Gentle Australia.Writer, Co-Producer and Host: Andrew Denton (Go Gentle Australia) Series Co-Producer and Script Editor: Bethany Atkinson-Quinton (The Wheeler Centre) Associate Producers: Kiki Paul and Steve Offner (Go Gentle Australia) Audio Editor and Engineer: Martin Peralta, with assistance from Adam Rothwell Production Assistant: Alex Gow (The Wheeler Centre) Marketing: Emily Harms (The Wheeler Centre), Steve Offner and Frankie Bennett (Go Gentle Australia)Publicity: Debbie McInnes (DMCPR Media)Episode Pages: Mia McAuslan (The Wheeler Centre)Episode Artwork: Megan HerbertCommissioning Editors: Kiki Paul (Go Gentle Australia) and Caro Llewellyn (The Wheeler Centre)Music: ‘Loydie’s Angel’, written and performed by Jordan LaserMusic: Jon Murphy, Aaron Gleeson, Brendon John Warner, Simon Kindt Special thanks to our interviewee Michael Dooley for his time for this episode.

When it comes to conscious consumerism, advocates for minimalism and intentional shopping, both seemingly gentler ways to enjoy fashion, often run up against the harsh reality of U.S. consumers' baked in urge to, well, consume. In the face of that, swapping style online stands out as an alternative that, these days, is starting to hold more than ample appeal -- even outside the thrifters and vintage fans behind so many low-tech equivalents. On this week's episode, we meet a former beauty industry veteran and bioplastics executive who is building an online direct-to-consumer site for swapping women's and children's clothing. Listen to the show for her story and how she's making it easier than ever for fans of more sustainable fashion to swap and get the right value in points for their clothes, all while indulging their urge for the new. Along with her fashion startup journey, we dive into the Los Angeles-based company's Instagram swap challenge and how it's helped to grow their audience and build community. Use this conversation for inspiration on your own journey toward building a business at the intersection of fashion, entrepreneurship, sustainability + tech (a space I call FEST).

Kerry Robertson was 61 died at the nursing home in Bendigo last month. She lived with cancer since 2010 when she found her diagnosed. Two daughters have been supported her strongly. Jaqui Hicks and Nicole Robertson told the Go Gentle Australia her death had been “beautiful and peaceful”. According to the ABC News, the mother was surrounded by her love, two daughters who found her relatives to come to her place. Volunteer Assisted Dying Act passed the government in 2017. The other state which is QL is yet legalised euthanasia. There is a strict criteria for the law that the patient must be a terminal illness with no more than six months left to live or 12 months is they have a degenerative neurological condition. Two doctors must pass the applications and the patient must make three request. So, the patient struggle with cancer have so many symptoms physically and mentally. They take a medicine that make their appetite stimulated. My girlfriend's dad is a healthy and well working guy. But, he put a lot of weight even on his strict diet. And also the anti-cancer medicine make their body-hair away. He used to have an amazing chest hair and beard but anymore. The patient feel them different person after the medication. That's the mental break of the cancer. It comes suddenly. People should have the open conversation over the cancer, not only the new medical solution. Seems like the media focus on the point too much. The death is part of our life at the certain stag of the life. Euthanasia is the one of the way to finish the life without pain for the patient have been suffered from the critical disease.
