Getting grounded in your resilience

Life can feel tumultuous when we are experiencing a lot of change. It can make us feel uncertain and disconnected from our abilities to navigate forward in a good way. In this episode Cary-Lee Calder, a Gusgimukw woman from Quatsino Nation, joins Beth in the resilience conversation to share how her daily practice to ground herself contributes to strengthening her resilience. A mother, a grandmother, a friend. This protector of others, is on a journey to embrace who she is and her worthiness as a woman. Cary-Lee will share how her grounding practice to acknowledge with all her being what is happening, saying it out loud, letting it all go and giving space to reflect on all of it has supported her wellness. Cary-Lee's niece, Angeline Pete, went missing in 2011. Having a missing person in her life is an unfathomable challenge. Cary-Lee shares how grounding herself as an act of self care is in service to her commitment to bring light to Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls (MMIWG), creating opportunity for healing to happen for families impacted by MMIWG. Cary-Lee walks with her Ancestors with her energy aligned to her purpose of contributing to the resiliency of young Indigenous women & men. She offers an invitation for each of us to contribute to the acknowledgement of MMIWG, by familiarizing ourselves with the calls to action, to understand the history & educate ourselves.
