Walk The Talk to Health Episode 3. Are you part of a community? If yes, is it a good fit for you or are you simply going through the motions? If these questions make you squint your eyes and pause for a moment, then perhaps it is a good time to examine how community shows up in your life ... and how you show up for your community. In this episode, Mildred Lynn and Dr Glenna will share nine reflective questions they use on a regular basis to help them decide if a community is right for them (or not). In addition, they will also generously offer their personal experiences, learnings, and pitfalls based on these nine key questions. Here are the questions: What do you value in community? Do you identify with your community? How much do you contribute to the community? How do you monitor your participation? How do you adjust your role? How do you deal with changes in community focus? Do you have clear boundaries? What is the best way to use your voice in community? When is it time to leave your community? This episode is #3 in a six-episode series.

Two Owls Having A Hoot Episode 7. Peg O’Connor, Ph.D., published an article in Psychology Today that tackles the soul sapping impact of continually breaking promises to yourself. She likens this cycle of not trusting self to an addiction; an addiction to self-sabotage. In this episode, we’ll look at four aspects of SELF-TRUST: What is self-trust? How is breaking promises to yourself (over and over again) limiting the quality of your life? What are the practical and soul-supporting benefits of trusting self? Where do we find the courage to nurture self-trust everyday? Your hosts, Mildred Lynn McDonald and Madonna MacInnis, will also share personal vignettes from their sincere and ever evolving relationship with self-trust. You’ll love it!

Two Owls Having a Hoot Episode 6. Heather Plett wrote a beautiful piece about holding space called “What it means to ‘hold space’ for people, plus eight tips on how to do it well”.

Two Owls Having a Hoot Episode 5. In her book, Refuse to Choose award-winning author Barbara Sher talks about “scanners”; people who have so many interests that they’re unable to choose only one. According to Sher, scanners aren’t dilettantes or undisciplined, and they don’t change interests because of A.D.D. or a fear of success. “They seem to be highly intelligent, multi-talented people who need to have more interests than the average person.” As you can imagine, this topic really hit a nerve with people when the book was published and caused a huge sigh of relief from many wonderful individuals struggling to make sense if their scanner-wired life (gasp!). Join your hosts, Mildred Lynn and Madonna MacInnis as they share their personal insights and real life stories about the amazing world of scanners (or to use another term “multi-potential-ites”). You’ll also enjoy their heart-centered exploration of three key questions: “What is a scanner?”, “What isn’t a scanner?”, and “How do you navigate life (feel good about yourself) from a scanner perspective?”. You’ll love it! Tune into "Two Owls Having a Hoot!" for stimulating conversations steeped in boundless curiosity and Divine wonder!

The answer might be quite startling for some and comforting for others.

Healing Conversations Episode 36. A little while ago, I came across an article in Yes! Magazine that stopped me in my tracks. It was called One Poem that Saved A Forest: How the friendship between a poet and a timber baron kept a grove of California redwoods from clear-cutting by Jacqueline Suskin. Upon talking with Jacqueline, I discovered that she also made a living as a poet at The Poem Store by composing one-of-a-kind poems on a manual typewriter, in exchange for a donation (your subject, your price). Plus, she has written two books; Go Ahead & Like It and The Collected … and her work concept has been profiled in the New York Times and the LA Times. Join us as we talk about her poetry, The Poem Store project, her compassion and humanity, and how to come together to successfully tackle projects (like saving a forest grove) for the greater good of all. As a special treat, I'll pick a subject and Jacqueline will write a poem for us … right on the spot. You’ll love it!

Two Owls Having a Hoot Episode 4. Is your sense of home connected to an external space such as a specific geographic location, an internal space like a spiritual life purpose or blueprint … hmm, or is your sense of home wrapped up in a warm feeling of being “at home” with yourself? The good news is that if you are able to discern the role of each of the above in your day-to-day life, you might be able to identify your unique and true sense of HOME that will nurture, nourish and complete you. Join your hosts, Mildred Lynn McDonald and Madonna MacInnis as they share their personal insights and life experience about “Where is Your Home?".

Two Owls Having a Hoot Episode 3. Did you know that there are hidden qualities and forces of Nature that we can access if we are attuned to the natural forces around us? It is true. Personal power animals and the connection to animals and their wisdom are found throughout the world in many cultures. From cave paintings, ornate jewelry and carvings to countless stories and legends. Animal Totems or Animal Spirit Guides express the spirit nature of that species and exemplify qualities we can learn from. They are psychological and spiritual symbols that convey to us the qualities that we need in our daily lives. In essence, they are a mirror of us reflecting our own innate qualities to help ourselves better understand our connection to all things. In this show, we’ll learn some of the natural language the animal kingdom is sharing with us by exploring the following questions: 1. What are Animal Totems or Animal Spirit Guides? 2. How do they work? 3. Why use them in your daily life? 4. Where can you find on-line resources and more information? In addition, your hosts, Mildred Lynn McDonald and Madonna MacInnis will provide an example of how they use Animal Totems in their own lives to gain a better perspective, understand inner conflicts, connect with Nature, and discern which course of action (or inaction) might be in their highest interest. You’ll love it!

Two Owls Having a Hoot Episode 2. There are times in life when we stand at a crossroad full of apprehension and unsure of which way to turn (gasp!). To help descern direction, provide inspiration and offer clarity and hope, people sometimes turn to beautiful and supportive divination tools like ORACLE CARDS. During our time together, host Mildred Lynn McDonald and special co-host Madonna MacInnis will soulfully explore the following questions with humour and ease: What are Oracle cards? How do they work? Why use them? What types are available? What are your favorite oracle cards? In addition, they will also give examples of how they use oracle cards in their own lives to help them tap into their inner compass or guidance system to discern which "turn" might be in their highest interest. You’ll love it!
