Welcome back to Grandmothers on the Move! I'm your host, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, and today, I am honoured to speak with Joanne Dallaire. Joanne tells us “Being in my truth is vitally important to me in order to work with other people in their truth – no matter how vastly different it is”. And the truths in this conversation will expand, challenge and fill your heart. Joanne’s wisdom, humour and truth-telling is powerful and galvanizing...no wonder she is now Campus Elder at Ryerson University, after 30 years working as a counsellor for Ryerson’s Indigenous students! This conversation is like a precious road-map to transformation, reconciliation, and how to Stand in Your Truth with integrity, humanity and courage. Thank you, Joanne Dallaire!

Welcome to Grandmothers on the Move! I’m your host, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, and today I have the great honour to speak with Dr. Kristen Hawkes, the brilliant originator of THE GRANDMOTHER HYPOTHESIS: How grandmothers played a pivotal role in the evolution and very continuation of our species.

Welcome to a Special Episode of Grandmothers on the Move! I’m your host, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis. Today, I am speaking to Grandmothers on a mission... 2 Grandmother Representatives from Grannies Respond/Abuelas Responden - an action caravan of Grandmothers and GrandOthers across the U.S. (from New York to McAllen, Texas) to protest the government's policy on separation of children from migrant parents fleeing violence and crossing the border, they are demanding reunification of the children with their families. And an interview with Liz DeCou, a nurse and now an advocate joining the same struggle, who was arrested in California when she tried to deliver toys and solace to migrant children in 'detention'. Grandmothers taking a stand! It brings hope to us all.

Grandmothers on the Move! Indeed! Today, a totally different conversation - Lustre – a website, and a burgeoning community – for women who are finding their footing in a new chapter, and getting out of the “retirement box”! Lustre’s founders, Karen and Erica, are talking about it: “And then one day, bam! There it was. No office, no title, no business cards, no calendar, no meetings, no calls, no places we had to go...” And doing something about it: “We are the same people we always were. Nothing about retirement changes that. Shoulders back. Heads up. We were part of a large sisterhood when we started out. It’s time to come together again. We can forge a new picture of retirement if we do it together. We can shape the next decades. Together, we will build a new community—one with incredible energy, experience and power. And that, our friends, is priceless”. Agreed!
