    Reclaiming the Role of Our Fathers and Men - Episode 8.5

    This week, Settle Down shares a powerful bonus episode: the full, heartfelt conversation between Vanessa and Teresa on the role of Indigenous fathers and male role models. What begins as a reflection on traditional fatherhood, grounded in community, responsibility, and cultural teachings, unfolds into a deeply personal and honest dialogue about loss, identity, and healing. Together they explore how colonial systems disrupted men’s roles in family and community and how many are now finding their way back through culture, ceremony and connection to the land. At the heart of this episode is hope. Through stories of nephews, sons, and grandsons reclaiming their purpose, Vanessa and Teresa speak to the quiet strength of men who are stepping into both provider and caregiver roles, often while navigating grief, forgiveness and generational trauma. They highlight the importance of spirituality, the guidance of Elders and the simple but profound teachings (like forgiveness and reconnection) that help rebuild identity and belonging. This conversation is raw, reflective and deeply moving, a reminder that healing is happening, that roles are being reclaimed and that the fire within each of us can always be rebuilt. We’ll be back next week with a new episode. Until then… settle down.

    Deadly Uncle Energy with Patrick Twinn - Episode 8

    In this very special episode, the Aunties welcome their very first guest (and first official “deadly uncle"), Patrick Twin, Director of Indigenous Relations at ATB. From humble beginnings to leading conversations on Indigenous economic reconciliation, Patrick shares a powerful journey rooted in culture, community, and connection. Together, they unpack what economic reconciliation really looks like in practice, breaking down systemic barriers like access to capital, the impacts of the Indian Act, and why culturally informed financial systems matter for Indigenous entrepreneurs. Patrick also offers real, practical advice for those looking to start or grow a business, and how to navigate systems that weren’t built for us. Beyond business, this episode goes deeper. Patrick opens up about reconnecting with culture, the role of Indigenous men as providers and protectors, and the responsibility of raising the next generation with balance, love and strength. In a deeply moving moment, he shares the story of his daughter and the teachings that reshaped his perspective on resilience, gifts and purpose. This conversation is honest, emotional, and full of “little berries”, insightful teachings about leadership, relationships and what it truly means to build bridges between worlds.

    Episode 7 - Leadership Without Power

    In this episode of Settle Down, the Aunties dive into Indigenous leadership: the good, the hard and the deeply complicated. What starts with laughter and venting about frustrating moments quickly unfolds into a powerful conversation about what it really means to lead with community, not ego. From navigating the weight of representing your people in every room, to challenging western ideas of power and hierarchy, the hosts share honest stories from their own businesses and lives. They unpack concepts like servant leadership, relational accountability and the constant tension between profit and purpose — while keeping it real about burnout, boundaries and the pressure to “hold it all together.” The conversation also takes a sharp turn into the systems that are supposed to support Indigenous entrepreneurs, but often don’t. From barriers to government contracts to “pay-to-play” certification models, the Aunties speak candidly about access, inequity and why being “at the table” still feels out of reach. Grounded in humour, honesty and powerful cultural teachings, this episode is a reminder that Indigenous leadership isn’t about power, it’s about people, purpose and planting seeds for future generations. So settle in… and settle down.

    AI With Heart - Episode 5

    AI is everywhere—but what happens when Indigenous women start shaping it? In this episode of Settle Down, the Aunties dive into the future of Indigenous-led artificial intelligence - from moderating online racism to protecting culture, data and languages. Shani shares the story behind her groundbreaking AI project, wâsikan kisewâtisiwin, and the group explores what it means to build technology through a matriarchal lens. It’s a real conversation about opportunity, fear, data sovereignty and why Indigenous voices need to be involved in shaping the tools that will shape our future. Settle in. This one goes deep.

    Who's your safe person? (And when should you use an NDA?)

    We’re taking a short breather this week, but we didn’t want to leave you hanging. In this bonus clip from Episode 2, the Settle Down Aunties dive into a question every entrepreneur wrestles with: Who can you trust with your big idea? The Aunties talk non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), red flags, safe people, and the balance between protecting your idea and believing in abundance. Is an NDA the answer? Can you trust your gut? Or is entrepreneurship really about finding people who share ideas just as openly as you do? We'd love to hear your thoughts too!
