When the Dumpster Fire Is Extinguished-Or Is It? Pt 1 Artwork

Walking The Walk: Change for the Better

Welcome to Walking the Walk: Change for the Better a podcast about how changing your perspectives can lead to a better life if you let it. The things that I encounter in my job as a Health Promoter, a solo parent of a queer/non-binary/ADHD teenager and a partner trying to make long distance love work, all impact how I make my way through the world and sometimes that journey is in need of an improvement. If this sounds relatable, then hopefully the lessons I learn along those different paths, as I'm walking the walk will be too. We are all walking alongside each other, and if we can learn from one another along the way, it will have been a journey well spent.

It's hard to imagine that 2 years have come and gone and Jeremy has returned to his home and his husband and his cat in Medicine Hat (that sounds like a Dr. Seuss book) and yet here we are. Join us as we talk about what he learned about himself and the people that he lived and worked with in Northern Alberta and then dive into his hot takes on what is happening south of the border. As it always is with Jeremy - it's a trip! And also as it always is with Jeremy - it's a long one, so I've divided it into two parts for easier digestion! Enjoy!

Walking The Walk is written, recorded and produced by me - Charissa McKay (aka CharCharBinx) in my awesome basement home office/studio/craft room on Treaty 6 lands known originally as amiskwaciy-wâskahikan, meaning Beaver Hill House, in Nehiyawewin (Cree). There are other names, equally as meaningful, and I am grateful to those who were here before me, for the ability to call this place my home.
