  1. “If I could give you a solid answer, it would be my answer. Because nothing, no words of our language will ever grasp the magic of what it is to be human. The beauty of silence between us, between strangers on this planet, the meaning of what it is to be fully human, I think happens between the lines, between the actions, between the exchange and between the words. I think that is the most creative place. And we must Go back to that? Because I think it unites us in more subtle ways than we might think and that what it really means to be human is something we might not just see with the eyes. It somehow might be just bigger and greater than that.”

  2. “I'm actually driving down the highway at 120 kilometers an hour, and nobody's hitting one another. There must be something that's keeping us. Love of who we are and the less narcissistic way possible. We were responsible for one another as a whole, as a community, as a country, and as a world.”

  3. “To start kind of like on a blank slate every day, even with everything that we know and feel, it's possible. So the habit of actually taking perspective maybe, even for five minutes, even for two minutes, even on a bus ride where you close your eyes and you feel that I'm actually surrounded with people I don't know here and nothing's happening and it's peaceful.”

  4. “I mean, without thinking it's kissing my kids, smelling their necks and their hair and having them close to me. But it's also talking gently to myself. Breathing, taking time to sit down for five to ten minutes and breathe, and try to, sometimes I imagine my thoughts in my head that you can pull them out. And it's all space. And that space is pure. It's untouched. And it's every day to renew again. What am I going to put in this body, in this mind, and in this heart so that this day is better? And can create better for other people.”

  5. “And that translates into self exploration. And it allows me to, you're right, to maybe explore in a way that is, I don't think I possess the answer. But if I feel like that about myself, then maybe the person that I'll talk to next will feel that energy and will feel safe enough to go there as well. So yeah, thank you for pointing that out. Maybe it's a contagious process in a way.”

  6. “No, no, I think that's interesting because... If I'm willing to explore within me, Who I am. And it's not in a narcissistic way. It's actually in a way where I'm not sure what I'm going to find. Let's go see what's down there. And how do I express that, whether it's I love to write, sometimes I'll walk down the street, I'll hear a melody in my head, I'll write the melody down with words. Sometimes it will be, I'll look at a flower or my kid blowing on a daffodil, on a dandelion. Yeah, dandelion. And it's all those little moments of sharing a smile with a stranger or whatever it is. And I'm inspired. I just don't know where it's from, but I'm constantly inspired.”

And I don't have, apart from work and all the reading on gender equality and human trafficking and what's happening socially in social contexts and on different levels on this planet. I'm so totally passionate. Totally passionate about. And then it's really about more human philosophy, poetry, art, the art of letting go. Yeah, I'm...”

  8. “And I married a man, Justin, who is an avid reader. I don't think I've ever met anybody who reads more than he has. And when he was seven years old, he was sitting in his father's library, and he looked around and he said, I'm going to read every book in here. A whole universe had opened up for him. And he, since the day we met, he and I were exchanging reading, suggestions and stuff. But we just don't read the same stuff. But it's good. So we can learn from one another in the stuff that we read differently. But my love for reading continues because I like to once again learn about human truths and what's happening. I am an eternal Life lover. So anything that inspires me to love life even more, I will read. And there are so many authors and Canadian authors out there who are”

  9. “Oh, the interest I'm reading. I mean When I was young, I used to ask my parents to buy me a decontine, which are kind of like singing poems in a bit. I was also curious about more mature content, more philosophical content, what is happiness, why are we here, at a young age romantic love. I was more into biographies than fiction.”

  10. “I love reading. I have less time to read. But just because what I read most of the time is all the facts and the research that comes out on equalities on our planet, especially concerning girls and boys, men and women, so that I comprehend the topic that I discuss with other people. And I like to do my homework before I get up on a stage, even if it's been 20 years. Every single time I have butterflies every single time, I've done my homework. But every single time it's a new encounter with new human beings. And I long for proximity and connection. So I want to make sure that I'm ready to... Have that moment. Maybe it's not if I'm ready. Maybe it's are they ready. I know I'm ready. Wait, what's the question?”

  11. “Any movement of truth that is coming to the surface where we see where human beings are suffering and how we can help out, I think that's truly good news for where we're going as a world. Because, yeah, it's true. When you look at the state of the world, you can be totally depressed. But when you actually meet those people who and those thousands and millions of individuals who believe in peace and justice and goodness, you know that it's possible because you see it happen. Everywhere, on the ground, in companies.”

  12. “Just hearing this makes me emotional. Thank you for saying that because it's a gift. Every time we open up is a gift. There will always be, you know, opposition and people who will judge, but most people want you, Shane, to tell your truth and to hear about what you're going through. And you will find support. And what I've seen listening to gender equality advocates, people who are making a difference all throughout this planet who are dedicating their lives to create more justice and equality is that when one raises his or her voice and becomes vulnerable, it allows for other humans to do the same. It's not mathematical. This is human potential and reality, and it's doable. And I think we're starting to do it more and more, whether it's the Me Too movement or...”

  13. “Boys have also been living in a culture and men where they have been taught to repress what needs to be expressed. It is not fair, and I believe you are worth much more than that, and that we need this connection between men and women, whether we're just friends, acquaintances, or in a couple's relationship, where proximity, truth, and opening up to one another will actually determine how peaceful you are. It all goes back to human dynamics between men and women and girls and boys”

  14. “We are seeing right now in the world, when you look at the facts and the science and the research that girls and women have been facing barriers mentally and physically more than men have on many aspects of their lives. That is the truth. This being said, I got tapped on the head a couple of years ago or months ago because on International Women's Day, I had said, please invite the men in your life who treat you with respect and who see your potential and beauty and intelligence and wisdom because those people, those wonderful creatures that men are also meant to become are with us on this journey and without gender unity and harmony we will get nowhere.”

  16. “Do not let linger, repressed emotions, or negative thoughts. They will only intoxicate your life. And most people want to talk about it. And most people don't want to encourage negativity within themselves or within others. So it's sometimes more simple than one might think.”

  17. “Honestly, I deal with it right away. I do not hold it in. I like proximity. I like intimacy. I like connection. I look at that person in the eyes, or I will call and I'll say, what's going on? Man, tell me. We got to figure this out. I don't want you to feel like her. You don't want to bury it.”

  18. “Right, there are opportunities for growth when you see them as opportunities for growth. And when I've done things that have hurt somebody, for example, I've actually asked myself, holy, you know, what could I have done better? And it hurts. It hurts to know that I have hurt somebody else or was disconnected from myself and thought that for a moment I was important when I'm really not. So yeah, I really want to.”

  19. “I mean, you could say eating disorders. You could name anything. It's everyone's struggle in their own ways. So, yeah, the biggest mistake, I think, in a human being's life and in my life is, but it's not a mistake. It's my journey. It was my journey. I don't like to see mistakes as mistakes. You know, obviously maybe I could have been more compassionate to one person, but they're not mistakes.”

  20. “mean that When you want and when you are ready to explore. Your desires, your thoughts. How you feel, and you make the choice at one point, or somebody has allowed you to feel safe enough, to become vulnerable, and let's go back to that vulnerability, it's a gift. And that gift is of human creativity. Because when we open up, we become creative just by actually accepting what is and what we can do with it. That is an art of creativity. What do we do with the truth? What do we do with it now? That can be creative. And it happens in our everyday lives, at the office and how we interact with other people and the decision that we make as families, as mothers, as dads. I think that all those moments are acts of creativity and that we should feel like we're much more artistic and we can contribute much more to society's creativity, not just by doing art.”

  21. “Yeah, in the same way. You're right. Yeah, in a way, because, yeah, vulnerability or lack of, you know, fear of judgment, fear of maybe our own repressed emotions and feelings and desires. We are, you know. Beings, human beings with desires, and we come to life with them. And in many ways, we are taught to repress them. And I think that we are much more creative than we are thought to be and that we teach ourselves that you have to be an artist to be creative. I really don't believe that. I think human relationships. Can be the most the deepest exploration of our creativity. It doesn't have to be art.”

  22. “Should be. Why? Because it's truth. Let's face our truths and not be afraid of our condition, because it's our only way to revolve and grow if we actually discuss our truths, not hide from them.”

  23. “Yes, that's it. That said, but spring to me is interesting. And we talk about this with the kids because it's not beautiful, the transition. It's not beautiful. That's kind of a lesson because transitions are not always beautiful within ourselves. They're tough. And it's muddy out there. It's muddy inside. So I see spring as a time of revelation and life is getting back into its shape and the flowers and everything's starting to grow again. So it's the cycle again that we. That we learn to dissociate from. You know, whether you're a woman and it's your natural cycles, your menstrual cycle, the cycle of life, the giving birth, it's like we push that away. It's like, do we actually know what birth looks like until we give it? Why are we so scared of? Why is sexuality in youth not discussed enough?”

  26. “Yeah, but most people, if you ask them, you know, after exercising and after being in nature, do you feel worse or better? Like 99% we'll see better. And I ask that question often because I'm curious to know. So there's like a natural lesson of a natural cycle and natural presence. And we're going back to love, a natural love that is just there, a caring energy where you feel that. There is opportunity for things to get better. Think nature makes that even more tangible. We have it here in this country, so we should really, really celebrate it and get our youth to get out there and have fun. And not always wanted to be about competing and competition. It's actually just about enjoying and looking and being present and feeling lucky.”

  27. “Oh my goodness No, and whether you have money or not, you can go to the river. You can look at the Canadian geese there. You can, you know, look at the squirrels. You can look at the leaves changing colors. I am in awe all the time of the subtle intelligence of nature. Which is greater than ours in many ways, but it nourishes us. And Not everybody has the time to actually Go for half an hour hike or walk in nature during a day. And five minutes could do the trick. If we actually encouraged it between ourselves, if companies, institutions, schools. Libraries, community centers, families. I think it's about education in a way. It all goes back to that.”

  28. “I'm a spokesperson for Fitzpirich, which is an organization that encourages young girls to continue sports in their teenage years because one out of two Canadian girls will drop sports for many reasons. It's two. It's too boyish. They lack the self-esteem to think they're going to thrive, whatever. I think that nature allows us, whether it's a walk, it's a hike, it's a jog, it's a canoe, it's a kayaking, it's a water skiing, it's a skiing, it's a skating, whatever it is. And God knows that or the universe knows whoever, whatever you believe in, that in this country, nature is close to us. Even if you live in the city, we're pretty lucky.”

  30. “We're not lovable enough? That we are not worthy enough. That others can take away from our happiness, that there are threats. For us to become who we are supposed to become. You cannot dissociate all of this. With religions and organized groups. And I believe that if we go back to what is sacred amongst us, and that we push away any kind of Self-imposed or society imposed thought process. We could discover truths about ourselves that would hit us so hard that we'd feel almost carried. and protected and loved, and cared for, without having even that person beside us. Think it's greater than that”

  31. “And they reflect what we have gone through, but they also reflect moments where human beings have been in such presence of beauty or suffering. That this is why art is so important is that we never cover the truth. We let it rise and shine and that we're not afraid of it because what are we so afraid of? That's a question I ask myself often when there's conflict within myself or in the world on this planet and we see it. It's awful. What are we so afraid of? I still don't know.”

  32. “Because I've always painted it just in my life because I loved it, because I'm obsessed with it. I'm surrounded by and the magic of nature. Usually I'll paint nature. It just fascinates me, the colors, the forms, the shapes, the perspectives. Lauren Harris wrote. He's the great Canadian painter. He said, Light has no weight, yet one is lifted on its flood, swept high. When I read that, I'm like, okay, I'm not the only crazy person feeling this. And when I paint, it's how I feel. It's like you want to paint from a place in your self where. It's not you. It's just. Freedom and deep respect and bow towards life. And the paintings that come to mind are a lot of the Canadian painters, to be honest, and my kids' paintings, because they represent our history. Past is important. Present is the most important.”

  34. “Another podcast. But I think that science can allow us to see truth and our human condition in a more precise light and therefore artists can be inspired by truth to share it with the public and with society and to be responsible for it in a way because we are because truth can be derided and it can be pushed aside. We have to protect it. It's important. That's part of what it means to be free in a democratic society And it's essential. It's essential to protect the truth.”

  35. “I think that most artists are tooth seekers. Not just artists, but the ones who choose to express through their lives, their artistry, I think science allows us. For truth to be respected. Because at one point, you have to start arguing with the fact Of course, some facts can be proven wrong, but I think as we grow as human beings, our science is becoming more and more... Think pinpoint or precise, and we're not even there. We don't even know it would be completely ignoring to think that we're halfway through or whatever it is. That's fascinating too. That's another conversation”

Are different types of love, so therefore, there are different answers to this question. But the most intuitive love, the one that comes out naturally. Between human beings that is not forced or constructed. I think it exists. I think it might be even greater than the relationship.”

So here we go. I think that when a human life comes out of the womb, let's put it as it is. Love is needed for that life to go forward. Because in lack of care and love, that too many comes naturally. To others doesn't come so naturally. But then you ask your question, were you offered unconditional love? Are we really offered unconditional love? I think that we naturally are born to love and be loved. That is why I believe in the goodness of humanity. Now, if we talk about institutions, marriage, monogamy, couples, relationships, that's different. But you're asking me about love. What kind of love are you talking about? Romantic love? Like what love?”

And his wife actually is a great author also called Susan Forsight. And they reflect a lot on the human condition. And relational agility for me is the capacity. To understand yourself in a relational context. Therefore, to understand the other. So the more, yes, you just said it, the more knowledge of ourselves that we have, the more capacity we have to adapt to a relationship. I do believe that we are meant to live surrounded. I don't believe we're cave men who are supposed to be isolated and live alone. I believe that we deeply search for good group dynamics, compassion. Strength together.”

  43. “I think that will be different for every single human being on this planet. I think that from the time you're in the womb, from the stress or non-stress you have lived, The time you're out of the womb and the love and attention and care or not that you have been exposed to, the relational patterns that you have been exposed to, the capacity for relational agility in the adults that have surrounded you.”

  44. “Can't you can grab onto it? And attachment is a huge thing that I work on. And that was one of the biggest I think lessons of my yoga journey is attachment. We're attached. We're attached to human beings. We're attached to concepts. We're attached to life itself. We're so attached. Then we all end up the same way. And what happens then? So all those attachments, I mean, and I make a difference between attachment and love, attachment and friendship. There can be deep love and deep friendship without emotional dependence. The attachment for me is the emotional dependence where when we are deprived of something or someone, we can't find our center.”

  45. “This is interesting to me because I'm someone who is very inspired by the fact that we're humans and that we're living on planet Earth. I love to sing, paint, dance. I have a very photographic eye. I'm in awe of what I see, whether it's good or bad. I'm curious. Therefore, especially with having kids, I've noticed that that has been enhanced ten times full. So we'll be in a fabulous moment where I have chills all over my body and I look at my kids and I can't believe the happiness. And at the same time, I'm already melancholic. Because I know it's gone.”

I want to. That is really my goal, but also my life and my duty in some ways, my responsibility, I find as a human being is to be present. So I can actually grasp reality as it is and not as I want it to be. So breathwork that we call pranayama and yoga, meditation, silence, nature for me, nature is the mother of all. She teaches me so many lessons. And to be in silence with her is for me a blessing. And I look for it and I search for it.”

I actually think that, you know, the richest people of the planet are in some parts realizing that they can make a big difference with their big money. And a lot of them are taking big actions. Amazing. Please continue. But in our daily life, I think it's the small stuff that makes a difference. Your presence, are you present in your life? We read the newspaper or we don't. We hop on the bus, we're in a rush. We go to work. We don't have time. Time is of essence and time is a luxury now. So when do we actually, we have time to be on social media and to look at the messages and what people think of us and are we favorites? Are we not shared or whatever it is? Do we take five to ten minutes to actually breathe and sit down in silence?”

  48. “Yeah. Well, not only it could be you, yeah, because I mean, bad stuff happens to good people. Yeah. Nobody is hidden from or protected from bad events. So that's one thing. And the other thing is I go back to this. Who was that person before all this happened? What's his or her journey? And how can you see yourself through that journey? And the last question is, what can you do to help in your daily life? And for me, it's about baby steps. It's not about grand, grand things.”

  49. “And when I put this in the big scheme of things, sometimes I get nervous because I would like to help save everybody. But we can't. What we can do is save ourselves. And for the ones who can't save themselves, we need to create I like to call a tightly knit social net where people feel safe to fall back and to know that somewhere along the way there's going to be human arms. I'm compassionate to catch them. What makes me believe that we can make this world better? Even with all that's happening right now.”

  50. “Yes, what else is it? And we forget, and I'll tell you this, I'm having chills again because when I, if I see somebody who's suffering on the street, for example, with my kids, we'll discuss this. And I'll say, who was he as a baby? What happened along the way? And I think that every single time I see somebody suffer, an adult, where does that suffering come from? And how does it relate to me on the continuum? How does it relate to me? How can I relate to that or him or her? And when you start living that way, it's like you feel responsible for one another. If I'm somewhere and somebody gets hurt, I'm going to try to help. Obviously, if a mother is struggling, I will feel for her, and I will want her to get better, and for her child to have an opportunity.”
