Colors of Awakening

Embark on an exploration of wisdom, leadership, cultural diversity, environmentalism, and the indomitable spirit of youth. In our latest podcast episode, we explore scouting in Belize through the eyes of Reese Medina, a committed and dynamic Scout Ambassador. Reese's multifaceted journey takes us from the comfort of her family home to adventures at the doorstep of her nation. She recalls her inspirational ventures in scouting, her observations on mental health, and her fervor for cultural heritage and environmental preservation. Reese shares her transformation from helping her little brother in Scouts to becoming an ambassador herself, highlighting the power of community service, camaraderie, and the lure of scouting life."We must be willing to let go of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." - Joseph CampbellThanks for reading Colors of Awakening!

I had long hoped to record some of the profound conversations I engage in with my daughter, Salomée. Her wisdom, far beyond her years, has always inspired me, and I waited eagerly for the moment she would be ready to share them in a podcast episode.Finally, the day came when, separated by an ocean but connected by our shared quest for understanding, Salomée said yes to a recording session. Her willingness to touch on personal challenges and explore her growth was not just courageous but an invaluable display of resilience.As a medical student, Salomee has delved into the intricacies of the human body. Yet, what sets her apart is her ability to integrate her scientific knowledge with spiritual practices, a harmonious blend of intellect and empathy.Salomée has been meditating since the age of 16, using this ancient practice as a tool to navigate through difficult mental and emotional times. Her perspective, born from struggle, transcends age and background, echoing a universal connection.Her spiritual exploration complements her scientific inquiries, giving life to a philosophy that embraces the complexities of the human body and the subtleties of the human spirit. Salomée's journey reflects the human quest for harmony, inner peace, and self-realization. Her vulnerability inspires courage, encourages reflection, and speaks to a universal longing.Sharing this conversation with my daughter has been a remarkable journey. Witnessing her growth, absorbing her wisdom, and being part of her willingness to expose her vulnerabilities is an experience that transcends the usual bonds of parenthood. Her voice offers wisdom that, I believe, will touch hearts and minds across generations.Her words stand as a testament to the human spirit's ability to grow, connect, and inspire, even from the darkest corners of our minds.
