    Being a Blessing, Finding Healing: Laureen's Sister Science Story

    In this episode of Sister Science Stories, Jill Novak interviews Laureen McNaughton, a retired teacher, mother, ally, as she shares her personal healing journey. Through embracing the intention to 'be a blessing' in every situation, Laureen reflects on how this shift has transformed her life, improving her physical health and well-being. Together, we explore the balance between tangible work and spiritual growth, self-care, and the power of reframing life’s challenges with purpose. Laureen would like to acknowledge the beauty and wisdom of the Stoney Nakoda and Ktunaxa People who have cared for the land she calls home for thousands of years.  Laureen is a life-long learner who is dedicated to being an ally to Indigenous people and those who are marginalized. She is retired teacher who loves spending time with her tree and human friends.  She loves to listen to children and loves reading stories and singing with them.  Laureen is walking a path of continuous improvement and embracing the power of “slow” living to become more present and mindful so that she can be a blessing in the world.  Laureen lives, works, plays, writes, knits and loves on the ancient lands of the Stoney Nakoda, Ktunaxa and Sinixt Nations, with her partner John and her two adult sons.

    This is Sister Science

    In order to share what Sister Science is, Jill asked Chelsey Beda to interview her. Together we answer the questions: What is Sister Science? How can we hold Sister Science in the same regard as our equal opposite Mr. Science. The linear, masculine, currently taxed energy system, that is held in high regard, needs the softness and flow of the Yin, Feminine energy that can help hold it together. How healing works on the Sister Science side of things compared to the Mr. Science side of things. See how Sister Science is for Men too. Understand how Jill relies on Yoga and Ayurveda together for this way of getting YOU in touch with YOUR needs, choices, and intuitive healing. In situations where logic and intuition conflict, we feel which one to follow? Love vs Fear, Open releasing exhale vs pinched restricted breath. Your body knows what your answers are. Jill tells her healing journey story and how you can connect to yours.    Thank you to Chelsey Beda for being our interviewer today. Hear Chelsey's own powerful healing story in an upcoming episode. It is a must listen.  Join us at SisterScience.ca to start your own powerful healing journey.
