All We Are is Story - Roselle Gonsalves
What. A. Conversation.
It seems fitting that a new moon on 1/11 brings forth Episode Twenty-Two with the brilliance and bravery of Roselle M. Gonsalves, Head of Inclusion & Reconciliation at ATB Financial, a public speaker, storyteller, connector, Top 40 Under 40 and author of 'The Ordinary Turned Precious'.
Roselle is a passionate, strategic leader and a connector of dots who exists in the “space between.” Curiosity is at the root of everything she does, intentionally engaging in elastic spaces where multiple truths can coexist.
This conversation is as juicy as it is deep:
Good girl, bad girl
Belonging
Coming home to ourselves
Relationships
Shame
Perfectionism
Pleasing
Curiosity
Joy
Integrating the parts of ourselves
The significance of our stories and the powerful act of storytelling.
We cannot wait to hear what opens up for you after listening! This conversation will make you feel bigger inside.

On The Trail of the Buffalo - Kimberly Lyall
In a weary world, Kimberly provides hope thoughout Episode Twenty-One that there is a way forward.
Kimberly Lyall is a speaker, masterful storyteller and luminous soul. After surviving a childhood of dysfunction and poverty, Kimberly became a highly respected community leader active in numerous organizations. She was named a CEO at the age of 26 years, but within 2 years one of her employees committed fraud and then died by suicide. While suffering from PTSD, Kimberly rebuilt the organization into a powerhouse, but was fired a few years later when she stood up to harassment.
When Kimberly’s husband died and she was navigating grief and her purpose, she realized the significant challenges for leaders of organizations. Her mission moving forward is to light up these leaders by reigniting their clarity, connection, and confidence!
Kimberly is not Indigenous; however she has received several significant Indigenous honours that influence her life and work. Kimberly was given the Blackfoot blessing “On The Trail of the Buffalo”, which speaks to her purpose of sharing stories and life lessons to inspire others.
