This episode is a reminder that healing and learning often go hand in hand—and that culture lives in how we speak, listen, and show up for one another.

What does it mean to reclaim identity after generations of disruption?

In this episode, George is joined by detani hoshis tsekwi ( Carrie Lamb), an Indigenous HR leader and co-founder of Sacred Workplaces, for a personal conversation about the long road back to cultural connection.

Carrie opens up about her childhood trauma, spiritual awakenings, and the teachings that have shaped her work in transforming colonial systems from within.

They share teachings about how ancestral wisdom lives in our DNA, how cultural practices can guide us through grief, and why leadership rooted in Indigenous values is key to creating safer spaces.

This episode is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t just happen in private—it can transform our workplaces, our communities, and the way we show up for one another.

George sits down with Smulthun (Thomas George Jr.), a cultural practitioner from Halalt First Nation with deep roots across the Coast Salish world. Known for his work in men’s wellness, sweat lodge ceremonies, and youth support, Smulthun reflects on how cold water baths, traditional medicine, and ancestral teachings have guided his healing.

He shares teachings from his grandmother, takeaways from years of spiritual practice, and what it means to carry cultural knowledge with care and accountability.

This episode reminds us that healing isn’t always loud or visible — sometimes, it looks like water, medicine, ceremony, and showing up for the people around you.
