Description:

In this episode, podcast host Linsey McMurrin explores the connections between Western and indigenous systems of thought for building healthy people and communities. In her non-profit career she works to educate communities in Social Emotional Learning (SEL), a Western framework for developing healthy social and emotional skills. But as a proud Anishinaabe woman, she also recognizes that the traditional wisdom of her ancestors was designed to do the same thing, well before SEL existed. Exploring connections between SEL and the Seven Grandfather Teachings, Linsey reflects on how reclaiming a relationship to traditional wisdom can be a part of restoring dignity and authenticity for herself and her community. Linsey is helped along in her reflections by her two sons: 12-year-old Isaias and 7-year-old Tobias.

Description:

As children, our need for connection can override our impulse to be true to our authentic selves. But in adulthood we can choose our relationships and the boundaries that govern them. With this freedom comes the responsibility to balance our needs for attachment and authenticity with the health and well-being of ourselves and others. We may want to be generous with our time and energy, but if we give too much we risk depleting ourselves and creating dependence in others. In this episode, listeners hear how podcast hosts Susan Beaulieu and Briana Matrious have experimented with setting and maintaining healthier boundaries in their lives, and how that intersects with their identities as indigenous women.
