#11 - You Don’t Have To Be Perfect To Belong with Len Pierre

For our first episode of season 2, George is joined by Len Pierre - Puleeqweluck, a Coast Salish educator, consultant, and knowledge sharer from Katzie First Nation.

Len is an award-winning entrepreneur, professor, TEDx Speaker, and social change-maker whose work focuses on decolonization, reconciliation, and transforming education systems.

We speak about the path of cultural reconnection — the fears that come with it, the healing found in ceremony, and the deep importance of identity, belonging, and access.

Len shares what it means to approach culture as a way of being, not a standard to meet. This conversation is a reminder that healing work doesn’t require perfection — just presence, patience, and a willingness to begin.
