The Stumbling Spirit

Mindful Reset

Season 1, Ep. 3

For many of us, the Covid pandemic forced us to pause and reset. In some cases, people left their long established careers for something new. Well before the Great Resignation, Rose Mina Munjee, transitioned out of her successful career in the corporate world to the public sector, and immersed deeper into her psychotherapy and mindfulness practice. Rose is a scholar, teacher, thinker and researcher in the ever-expanding field of mindfulness, and on this episode we explore this topic further as we chat about social change and more.

  • 2. Crowning Innocence

    Canadian author, Debra Williams, is helping to improve representation in children’s literature with her trailblazing and beautifully illustrated book, Church Hat. Inspired by her family, Church Hat is about a Black boy who admires his mother and her fashion sense, and one day gets caught wearing her colourful “crown” reserved for Sunday service. This is a heart-warming tale of self-expression, identity, diversity, and acceptance, but above all it's about the loving bond between a parent and child. Now being developed into an animated short film, Debra opens up about her inspiration behind this story, and why she believes it's important.Guest information: Visit churchhatthefilm.com or email connect@churchhatthefilm.com.
