Happiness or contentment, can in many cases be a choice. Today's episode is focussing on ways to keep things a little 'lighter'.

EPISODE #9: The World Begins at the Kitchen Table

Kitchen Table Conversations with Angela Geddes ·

2022/10/26

Inspired by a poem written by Joy Harjo, The World Begins at the Kitchen Table, which was recently shared with me, I reflect personally with gratitude at the many days spent at my kitchen table. I'm also aware that many people have not had the same experiences. For those of us who are called upon for support or assistance, whether that be with family members and friends and/or for those of us who work in the system, that's something we all need to remember. The most important thing we can

EPISODE #4: Just Google It

Kitchen Table Conversations with Angela Geddes ·

2022/09/21

Even with all of the information out there, there continues to be a gap in service providers understanding that would enable more of us to offer support in relevant and helpful ways. As well, there is plenty of outdated and inaccurate information out there in ‘google land’, so we need to be creative in the ways that our clear, concise and accurate messages get sent and received.
