Such a super fun and inspiring chat to share with you ! Meet Kimi Nomura Schwab :) Kimi is a wife and mother from Steveston, British Columbia. She awakened to her intuitive abilities after experiencing burnout and adrenal fatigue in 2020. Leading up to the burnout, she felt she had achieved everything she thought she “should,” however still felt detached from life.

How to Become a Working Director without Film School with Cole WalliserI've always said that "film school" isn't for everyone. There is so much noise and advertising telling filmmakers that you NEED to go to film school to be taken seriously. I disagree COMPLETELY and so does today's guest! On the show today is director Cole Walliser. Here's a bit on Cole's amazing filmmaking journey so far.Cole Walliser, born in Steveston, BC Canada and bred in Vancouver, now lives in Los Angeles doing most of the same things he did in his country of birth – playing guitar, drinking scotch and directing cool videos.“I started with filming skateboarding at about 14. For some reason everyone kept handing me the camera. I guess I had a knack for getting cool shots. Music videos has been a natural progression.”Once he decided to pursue directing as a career, he knew he had to be in Los Angeles to reach his full potential. In LA, Cole began shooting videos for professional dancer friends on a pro-bono basis when a dancer, returning the favor, asked him to be involved in some dance videos for Miley Cyrus. These videos impacted the entertainment industry bigger than anyone could of imagined with everyone from Ellen DeGeneres to Madonna to Ryan Seacrest reporting and commenting on the videos. These videos then led him to direct Miley's 2008 Teen Choice Awards performance featuring LL Cool J.In 2009 Cole was introduced to P!NK's management, led by industry heavyweight Roger Davies. The meeting proved fateful, providing him with his next project directing the opening video for her Funhouse World Tour (originally slotted for Dave Meyers). Cole continued working with P!nk on the record-breaking Australian tour where he gave fans a glimpse into P!nk's life on tour with a 30-minute documentary “On Tour with P!nk”. His successive work on four new P!NK music videos (Please Don't Leave Me, Funhouse, Leave Me Alone [I'm Lonely], Mean), along with the documentary, found their home in P!NK's 'Greatest Hits So Far' DVD.Enjoy my inspiring conversation with Cole Walliser.

Childhood friends & co-founders of The Juice Truck, Ryan Slater and Zach Berman have been in each other's lives since they were eleven. Their friendship has taken them from school days and high school days to a year-long trip around the world, before starting their successful Juice Truck brand together.Both Zach and Ryan grew up in Steveston - their meet cute was on a soccer field, and their bond was instantaneous. Hustlers at a young age, they got their first taste of entrepreneurship selling skateboard stickers to their classmates. After university, they worked and saved money for a year-long trip around the world, starting their journey in Kathmandu. It was in Nepal where they discovered seabuckthorn and the genesis of the Juice Truck came to be. In this conversation, we explore their growing up and what they were like as kids and teens, the shenanigans they got up to together, their soul-changing adventures and experiences in Nepal, India & Sri Lanka, what they appreciate the most about each other, new things to expect from the Juice Truck, and much more.

Chapter 1: Challenging... terrifying... discouraging... rollercoaster. Those are a few words used by front-line health-care workers across Canada to describe the coronavirus pandemic... which marks one-year as of this week. Guest: Caryn Lieberman, Global National Health Reporter Chapter 2: Starting today at noon, seniors aged 85 and up, Indigenous elders aged 65 and up, and those assisting them can start booking. That wasn't set to happen until Monday. Health Minister Adrian Dix made the announcement in a last minute press conference yesterday. Guest: Adrian Dix, Provincial Health Minister. Chapter 3: With the Green/COPE majority in favor and the NPA minority opposed, the Vancouver Park Board has decided to bring back the temporary bike lane in Stanley Park this summer. The vote was 5-2 last night. The bike lane eliminates one lane of traffic for cars and a number of parking spots, something businesses in the Park oppose saying they desperately need the traffic to survive financially Guest: John Coupar, Vancouver Park Board Commissioner. Chapter 4: A Freedom of Information request shows one of the newly hired deputy chiefs for the Surrey Police Service is making a base salary of 235-thousand-dollars a year and up to 321-thousand with benefits...more than the Premier and more than senior RCMP members. Guest: Janet Brown, CKNW/Global News Senior Reporter. Chapter 5: While you can purchase live spot prawns by the pound from local fishmongers, direct from the boats at docks in Vancouver at Granville Island, Richmond in Steveston, and Delta in Ladner, or at grocery stores, one key part of the business is the frozen-at-sea spot prawns. An interpretation of a new ruling by the DFO, however, would find the sale of any spot prawns frozen-at-sea illegal. Guest: Sonia Strobel, CEO, Skipper Otto Community Supported Fishery Chapter 6: This tax season is looking very different compared to years past. Because of the pandemic, many of the benefits Canadians received are taxable and some are not which can make things a little bit more complicated this year. Guest: Gerry Vittoratos, UFile tax expert See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Trauma is everywhere, even in power exchange. Relationships can be traumatic, and total power exchange is no different. Healing can take years and adversely affect relationships, kink, and sex. When processing trauma, I think it’s important to work through any mistaken beliefs first, and to come to different conclusions about yourself before moving on. I’ve found cognitive behavioural therapy to be helpful in changing those beliefs in myself. I also didn’t find CBT healed much other than offering me some peace from the harm I was continuing to visit upon myself. When processing through the experience again, I was mindful first not to overwhelm my body with trauma, but rather to fill it with only the portion of the trauma I could safely process at once, using breathing and mindfulness to help anchor myself and control the experience. Those are also skills I learned with a counsellor - a somatic therapist this time. Finally, I try to put myself in a place that’s beautiful and can stimulate me in an aesthetic way - somewhere that smells nice, sounds nice, and looks nice. Hopefully somewhere that feels transitionary. I picked the seaside village of Steveston, British Columbia, located on Lulu Island, the main body of the city of Richmond. Jazz Goldman speaks about their journey out of a power exchange that wasn’t meeting their needs, and we talk about the unspoken power dynamics that exist underneath our negotiated ones. The focus was placed on their healing, not on the podcast session, but I’m grateful we captured it for you to experience, here on Intimate Interactions.
Author David Nickle returns to Invaders From Planet 3 as our bonus season continues! I've recently returned from an expedition into the vaults beneath the Lair of bloginhood (finally able to cautiously skip across dimensions to its new current location beneath the ruins of an old cannery pier in the Fraser River near Steveston), where I've uncovered a previously-unaired mini interview with David where he shares a Top 5 list of speculative fiction stories worthy of attention. Keep in mind that our conversation took place a few years ago, so a few of his choices might be different now. That said, it's worth contacting your local bookstore or library to find these stories. And be sure to ask them for copies of David's books while you're there!

Director of government relations for the Homebuilders Association Vancouver and 4th generation Japanese-Canadian Mark Sakai talks internment, immigration, growing up in Steveston and housing. Housing. What’s important? Mark asks: can you find the housing you want at your stage of life? Single family housing? Spoiler, it still dominates, but you’re probably going to look in Maple Ridge or Abbotsford, or Brandon, Manitoba for that matter, unless your pockets have depth and breadth. Two-thirds of the residential land in Metro Vancouver is primarily reserved for a “certain type of housing” that is unaffordable to most people. Is it time to re-think the grand bargain? Read more »

The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) assessed 13 of BC's 26 Chinook stocks and found eight to be endangered. Contributing to the demise of southern BC Chinook stocks are developments along the Lower Fraser estuary such as dykes, pump stations, dredging and infilling. Thankfully, a $2.7-million habitat connectivity project funded through The $75-million coastal restoration fund — part of the federal five-year $1.5-billion oceans protection plan – is already helping to restore crucial salmon habitat. The days of the Steveston jetty on the lower Fraser River preventing juvenile salmon from accessing the estuary zone in Sturgeon Bank may be coming to an end.

Just what is it with Japanese Canadian cultural centres, anyway? This episode, Raymond and Carolyn discuss this phenomenon, from the JCCC in Toronto to centres in Montreal, Steveston, and even the Nikkei Centre which they're recording out of. Different centres across Canada have unique and interesting origins related to varying histories of postwar Japanese Canadian settlement, and today continue to provide space for their local communities in many ways. Many were built with the help of the redress settlement, and are important venues for celebrating multiculturalism and Japanese heritage today. The post Episode 24 – Cultural Centres appeared first on Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre.
