Heal Your Life Talk Radio Show with Victoria Johnson, Heal Your Life Trainer and Coach Trainer

In this captivating podcast episode, we delve into the profound and enlightening memoir journal penned by Annette Alix Roussin. Starting as a child in a remote First Nations community, Annette's life path took her from humble beginnings to the halls of academia at the University of Manitoba, where she pursued a Master of Social Work degree. This higher education expanded her knowledge and became a crucial vehicle for her to explore the profound impacts of colonization on Indigenous communities and her own personal journey.

Annette's memoir journal is a poignant narrative that reverberates with the generational effects of colonization on the mental health and well-being of Indigenous Peoples. It is a work grounded not only in her own experiences but also fortified by the insights of other Indigenous authors. Listeners will be moved by the candid accounts of how colonization deeply affected Annette's self-esteem and personal development.

Through her storytelling, Annette shares her own transformative journey of reconnecting with her culture and finding healing in the face of the painful legacy of colonialism. What makes this podcast episode truly unique is its invitation for readers to immerse themselves in this sacred space and reflect on their own relationship with colonization, self-identity as an Indigenous person, and their role as Canadian citizens. Journal prompts scattered throughout the book provide opportunities for introspection and engagement, making this memoir journal a powerful tool for personal growth and societal reflection.

Whether you are an Indigenous person navigating your own path to self-discovery or a non-Indigenous individual seeking to understand and empathize with the lasting effects of colonialism, this podcast episode offers valuable insights into Annette's remarkable journey and the broader implications of colonization. Join us as we unravel the pages of this compelling memoir journal, exploring the profound questions it raises about identity, healing, and the collective responsibility we all share in shaping a more inclusive and understanding future.

The whispers became louder telling Vanessa something BIGGER was missing. She wanted deeper purpose and meaning in my life and found out how to get it.

Jen Maxfield is an Emmy Award-winning reporter and anchor who started at NBC New York in 2013. Previously, she was a reporter and substitute anchor for Eyewitness News (ABC7). In her 22-year career, she has interviewed over 10,000 people and shared their stories. But then what? After the story has aired, what happens to people forever changed by tragedy, loss, and triumph?

This interview is about Jen Maxfield's new book, More After the Break; A Reporter Returns to Ten Unforgettable News Stories. The message that comes through is our ability to overcome adversity and build emotional resilience through personal healing. Jen speaks about kindness to humankind and how we can be empathetic and make a difference no matter who we are, where we are, or what we do.

Jen and I talk about kindness, emotional healing, boundaries, overcoming difficult emotions, noticing negative self-talk, pushing past our comfort zone and making a difference.

Here are the time-stamps to help you recognize the author's message. Enjoy!

7:50 We can show kindness in our day-to-day lives

12:30 We all need emotional healing

13:00 Handling emotions while re-living hard times

13:50 The importance of separating a stressful job life from our home life

14:00 Jen teaches us to compartmentalize

16:40 We overcome our fears and obstacles when we get outside our comfort zone

17:50 We can overcome adversity AND initiate lasting change from the hardship

18:30 When we notice our negative self-talk and push ourselves out of our comfort zone, we can make an impact on the lives of others and make a difference for humanity.

I enjoyed this interview because it speaks to the people behind the story, both the interviewer and the interviewee. We all relate to the stories in the book because we have all faced adversity and learned to overcome it. We are doing the best we can. We are still here. We have a story to tell and a heart that is healing. Our collective selves know we do better and feel better when we support each other and help heal hearts worldwide. Each of us can make a difference–often just outside our comfort zone.
