WISDOM AT WORK: : Older Women, Elderwomen, Grandmothers on the Move!

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. What we've always suspected! Here is a scientific, anthropological and deeply fascinating hypothesis... deeply satisfying too!
This is the extended version of the interview - a longer, much more in-depth discussion which anthropology, ethnography and evolutionary biology buffs will find worth listening to!

Stand in Your Truth

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!
