The podcast is a personal invitation to a conversation on addictions. The format is one of compassionate Inquiry.

Do you sometimes unintentionally overhear other people's conversations? We designed the podcasts like we are eavesdropping on a private conversation. It is unassuming, but direct. The interviewer’s questions anticipate what you, the listener may want expanded and clarified. We delve deeply into different types of addictions, alcohol, work, smoking, eating, shopping, sex, etc. the guests are selected for their expertise and reputation on the subject of addiction. Your host is Angelina Pratt… over 25 years experience on addictions. The first episode looks at the impact of colonization on how we view addictions, by the language we use, our attitudes, and our behavior. Once we can understand how colonization has impacted our Indigenous worldview, we can look at addictions more effectively. It is a journey. A healing journey that begins within a conversation, and we can begin the process of decolonizing. The podcasts future episodes will explore how trauma impacts and creates addiction. Some of the subjects we will be discussing are; • What is addiction • Residential School • 60s scoop • Adult children of alcoholics • Adoption • Abandonment • Survivor's Guilt • Child Welfare • Harm Reduction • Judicial system • Loss of culture and language • Global Pandemic 2020 • Solutions to addiction
