Life as Ceremony – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Sarah Anne Tourond—author, illustrator, yoga instructor, Registered Massage Therapist, wellness facilitator, consultant, and devoted mama (you can also refer to her as the Wellness Auntie!)—to hear about her journey of reconnecting with her First Nation Roots. Sarah shares her perspective and wisdom on coming back to the land and ways to support all beings in reconnecting with their ancestors and sense of spirituality.

In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I am sharing publicly—for the first time ever—the true origin story of my bootcamp business I had in Winnipeg. At 20 years old, I unintentionally started a wildly successful business overnight. After 10 years, I’m excited to finally share the origin story of how it all went down. In this episode, I talk about the importance of “writing your first draft” because it’s the only way you’ll get to draft 17. I also talk about how I’m not ready to start this podcast, but I am doing it anyway! I hope it empowers you to get started on whatever it is you want to accomplish in 2025.

In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I’m joined by Trilby, a movement guide, holistic nutritionist, and the writer behind the Substack Poetry in Motion. We discuss how spiritual practices can be found in the simple, intentional acts of daily life—whether it’s reading a book in the sun, mindful movement, or crafting nourishing meals. Trilby shares her journey, including her unique and early exposure to spirituality, and she talks about pivotal moments that have shaped how she moves through life today. This episode is packed with ideas to help you romanticize life, find freedom in simplicity, and live a life filled with connection.

This episode explores the transformative concept of "Life as Ceremony" and what it means to approach everyday moments with presence, gratitude, and respect. I discuss the true essence of spirituality, the power of ceremony as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual, and how living this way can help us feel more present and connected. I also discuss my personal journey of stepping away from the title of clinical counselor to embrace a more authentic path of mentorship and guidance.

Enjoy!

In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I share personal stories as I reflect on 2024. I talk about my roses (highlights), thorns (lowlights), lessons learned, greatest memories, and transformative moments, including my trips to New Zealand and the Yukon, writing a book proposal, and some health challenges. Alongside my reflections, I offer year-end journal prompts to help you process your own year, encouraging you to reflect on your experiences, growth, and key moments. The year-end journal prompts that inspired this episode can be found on my Substack, which is also called Life as Ceremony.

In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I sit down with Kaitlin Vitt—author and humanitarian—to hear about her recent experience volunteering in Ukraine for five weeks. Kaitlin talks about what it was like to be in Kyiv with air raid sirens and russian drones flying over them and what it was like travelling to the East to deliver supplies. We also discuss her connection with Ukrainian culture, dance, rituals, and intentional ways of living and being.
