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.

Well we get to find out what Jeremy wanted to unpack as well as delve even deeper into the teachings of the Stoics - who knew that we would go there? With his characteristic way of looking at the world, it's always a fun ride when Jeremy gets on board. Retirement, people being different than what we might assume they are (shocking I know) and learning how to harness professional detachment - these are where we go in part 2. Hope you 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.
