#7 - Ancestral Resilience, Carried Forward with Ryan Boyer

This week’s episode is rooted in resilience.

George Harris Jr. and Ryan Boyer reflect on their personal paths of reconnecting to identity, community, and ancestral teachings. 

Ryan, a counsellor of mixed Celtic, Norse, Slavic, and Cherokee ancestry, shares perspectives shaped by his work in First Nations mental health and his own healing journey.

They speak to the emotional and spiritual healing that happens when we’re seen, when we’re heard, and when we’re held in culture.

This episode reminds us that resilience isn’t always loud—it can be found in quiet moments, in shared songs, in the act of simply showing up.
