TNP228 New Rules for Dating with Canada's Dating Coach Chantal Heide
Content Note: This is a very honest and frank conversation about our topic – modern dating. You may want to listen to this one through headphones! We’ve got a really FUN episode ahead with Canada’s Dating Coach, Chantal Heide, who has some great advice for all the women who are trying, so far unsuccessfully, to date men.
Honestly, I think this might be my new comfort listen. It's so soothing to hear someone preach about sovereignty and self-love and high standards!
Chantal is the author of several books on dating and relationships, among them the notable title, No More Assholes: Your 7 Step Guide to Saying Goodbye to Guys and Finding the Real Man You’re Looking For.
Chantal's approach to dating is at once more conservative and more radical than most. From a neurobiological attachment perspective, I have no notes. Very sound advice. I never did it this way, but if I was single and wanting to date a man, I'd do it this way.

TNP227 Tarot for the Hard Work with Maria Minnis
When I tell you that a tarot book is one of the best antiracism workbooks I’ve ever come across, I hope you take note. I honestly think if anyone, whether an adept or a newer student of antiracism, were to pick up Tarot for the Hard Work, it would keep them busy with exercises and practices for the rest of their lives. And, not incidentally, forge a deeper relationship with their tarot practice.
The author and my guest for this episode is Maria Minnis, a tarot reader who teaches about blending spirituality with liberation work.
Tarot for the Hard Work is a provocative exploration of the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana that re envisions these archetypes as beacons that illuminate the various ways racism takes root both in ourselves and in the world. With exercises and thought-provoking recommended reading and resources, readers are guided to use Major Arcana themes to dismantle internalized racism, racism in relationships, and racism in communities.
This book exceeded my expectations and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

TNP226 Wild Horses of the Chilcotin with Wayne McCrory
I am a huge fan of Wayne McCrory's book, The Wild Horses of the Chilcotin: Their History and Future. Wayne McCrory is a registered professional biologist specializing in the study of wild horses, bears and western toads.
Wayne is a leading expert on bear conservation and human-bear conflict. He was a driving force in the creation of the Khutzeymateen/K’tzim-a-deen Grizzly Sanctuary as well as the Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy, and for 30 years he worked with many others to end B.C.’s grizzly bear trophy hunt.
Wayne has published more than ninety scientific reports on wildlife and conservation, including two technical reports on wild horses in BC and Alberta. With horse genetics expert Dr. Gus Cothran, he has coauthored two reports on the genetics of wild horses in the Chilcotin.
In Wild Horses of the Chilcotin, there’s also kind of a low key mystical aspect to the book too - through the sharing of his dreams and experiences on the land, you get the sense that there’s an underlying subtext around a scientist encountering his spiritual self and seeking to defend and protect something bigger, something ineffable yet essential to the human spirit.

TNP223 Efu Nyaki on Healing Trauma through Family Constellations and SE
My guest today is Efu Nyaki, a healer born and raised in Tanzania who works internationally facilitating trainings and workshops on trauma healing. I first heard about Efu through my friends, Patricia Petersen and Thérèse Cator who were each members of the inaugural BIPOC-only cohort of Somatic Experiencing (SE) Practitioner trainings. They recently graduated from that multiyear program and I couldn’t be more delighted to congratulate them on this tremendously wonderful achievement! 🎉 Finding a BIPOC practitioner of SE is getting easier in great measure because of the trailblazing work of today’s guest, Efu Nyaki.
Efu is a faculty member at the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute and also a professor of Systemic Family Constellations Therapy at the Hellinger Science Institute, and is also the founder of AFYA, a women’s holistic healing centre in Brazil. I’m delighted to welcome Efu to the show.

Hallelujah! Yours is the voice I have been longing to hear. I’ve been in my grief era, my hermitess era. Lost in the doldrums. The episodes I have listened to have cut through the darkness like forked lightning. Boom. Thank you for your incredible poise, wisdom and loving words. Overwhelmed with a recent late stage ADHD diagnosis and the Palestinian Israeli conflict your words have found me at the perfect time. Ahhh, it’s called collapse.
Too many white western perspectives and misinformation
I really liked this podcast at first and had hopes for the purported critical intersectional approach. I’ve really appreciated the awareness of Carmen and many of her guests in terms of naming explicitly the nuances of identity, perspective, and knowledge. Some episodes have been a joy to listen to. However, after nearly a dozen episodes, I’m sick of listening to western perspective after western perspective doing two things: 1. Guests speaking and claiming to be the authority on a perspective or subject that originates in Indigenous or other traditions and no credit is recognized. And/or explaining knowledge and perspectives that are secondary to their own culture. Please get more guests on who can speak from non western understandings and knowledge without the white interpreter. This really makes a difference. The world is a huge place and the lack of diverse guests is seriously creating a bias in the podcast leading to mistakes and errors of interpretation. 2. Guests referencing garbage so-called academics and experts whose work has been shown thoroughly and resoundingly by actual experts to be fiction and/or manipulated and misrepresented facts (ie. holy blood, holy grail or shockingly incorrect claims about teaching rocks and ancient art). Some critical thinking and analysis is necessary, and listeners should be prepared to do their own research to read original sources and thinkers.
Always a great listen!
Carmen manages to infuse so much wisdom, humility and listenability in her shows. Add to that brilliant guests and you’ve got a favourite podcast!
