Research shows that as we inform ourselves from different sources, we assign a credibility ranking to each one. When someone reaches a different conclusion than... you, it’s always for one of these reasons: - They had access to different information than you - They assigned a different believability score to the information they had - Fear or trauma interfered with their ability to even see the information or caused them to ignore it People who disagree with you are not bad. They just have a different lens on reality. Now, go through that list again. Does any of it describe your decision-making? Every single day, I make it a point to listen to people I disagree with. I use discernment to decide how believable they are, and I look at the information sources they are using to see what I might’ve missed. If what I find is fear-driven decision-making, I seek to calmly share the information sources that I have found most credible in the hope that they make it past some of the fear to create more peace and better decision-making. That whole process takes way less energy than hating people who disagree with me. What can I say, I’m lazy.

Celebrating this land and all the people who were here before us. Listening to the plants and finding what we need to soothe and heal us as we navigate reconciliation as a collective. Holding myself accountable to honour this land I am honoured to stand on. May we all stand up for our indigenous siblings #indigenousland #plantmedicine #natureismedicine

GATHERING // I remember reading about Violets in Naturopathic school, but never met them in person until spring. Their medicine eases our hearts and moves stagnation, gently clearing the way for us to come back home to our true selves . I am constantly in awe of the way nature supports us in perfect timing with the seasons. Watching new life emerge from the ground softened by the early days of spring, reminds us to look around us and have faith in our own ability to bloom again . #plantmedicine #natureasmedicine #trustthetiming #foraging #wildflowers #backyardmedicine #grateful #naturopathicmedicine #kingstonnaturopath
