I had the privilege of interviewing a friend and old co-worker, Tammy Howard! In this episode, we talk about quick decisions, transitions, overcoming sudden situations, shadow work, and inner child work. We also touched on aging with grace from the inside out. Tammy gives a few tips on how to physically age with grace, and mentally/emotionally as well. Self-care is more than skincare and sunscreen. It goes deeper into healing the old part of ourselves. This episode was so fun, and gaining wisdom from Tammy never fails to leave me amazed! If this episode resonated or you enjoyed it, feel free to give a review or rating.

Het afgelopen jaar verzamelden duizenden Sioux-indianen, milieu-activisten en steunbetuigers zich in het reservaat Standing Rock in Noord-Dakota. Ze protesteerden tegen de aanleg van de bijna 2000 kilometer lange oliepijpleiding, die vlak langs het reservaat door de Missouririvier loopt. De Sioux vrezen dat het (drink-)water in de rivier wordt vervuild. Bovendien doorkruist de pijpleiding heilige grond, dat hen in een verdrag uit1868 is toegezegd door de federale overheid. Begin 2017 is er nog een kleine groep waterbeschermers ter plaatse. Tammy Howard is daar een van. Samen met haar vrouw Ceci en haar hond Orion besluit ze zo lang mogelijk te blijven. Tot het kamp door het leger wordt ontruimd.Laura Stek maakte een Spoor Terug over Standing Rock, met een historische reflectie op dat andere grote protest uit 1973: Wounded Knee. Daarnaast is er een interactieve versie met audio, fotografie en film te zien op vpro.nl/standingrock. Met dank aan: Tammy Howard, Ceci Pangelinan en Jolanda Kirpensteijn.
