The Hummingbird Chronicles: Recent Episodes
Julie Renton
Welcome to my podcast! A space I created for me to connect with others about anything and everything I love or am curious about. Every week, I -along with my sister Ada and my good friend Paul- hold conversations with people whom I love, admire, am inspired by or want to get to know a little more. It is my hope that with each episode, listeners are able to relate to a story being told, find new wisdom and information they can apply in their own lives, or simply leave feeling entertained, seen, understood, hopeful and inspired.
Grab your coffee -and snack- and join our conversation. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/julie-renton/support

Hey, everyone! After my last conversation with Muriel, we decided to do a second episode, and this time we are discussing domestic violence. October is domestic violence awareness month, and before the month is over we wanted to have a special conversation about this topic. Muriel, a licensed therapist, discusses the many forms that domestic violence can take, signs that you or a loved one may be in an abusive relationship, possible steps to take, and the importance of knowing and understanding that helps is available for anyone going through something like this.

Hello, everyone
today I share my thoughts on how chemistry, feelings of love, and rainbows and butterflies are used as the foundation for long lasting relationships. The truth is, in my experience, relationships need more than feelings of love and fireworks. Love changes overtime and love requires for us to show up daily, even when it feels uncomfortable.
Thanks for listening!!

As an undocumented therapist, she has created a space to help immigrant and underrepresented communities and offers resources and workshops -among other things- for anyone who needs it.

I had the pleasure of sharing with Lea on this episode of the podcast. Lea is a mother, sister, friend, artist, teacher, encourager, advocate, and lover of people. She is loved and appreciated by so many, myself included, because she is a person who truly takes in all of life's beautiful moments and has such a way to make everyone around her feel loved and cared for. On the episode, Lea shares with me the journey she's been on for some years now, and tells me what is felt like to navigate unknown waters as she struggled to find out why her body was suddenly so sick, the challenges of getting a diagnosis, and the work she had to do in order to begin her healing process. Ultimately, through leaps of faith and unlearning of old belief systems, she trusted herself and became comfortable with what she wanted out of life for herself. I can't wait for you all to listen in on this conversation because it did so much for my soul, and I'm sure it will touch yours too.

Hey everyone! I had the pleasure of holding a really beautiful conversation with Zoyla around healing through the understanding of our own mortality. We talked about letting go of the past, embracing the future but not at the expense of not being present in the moment. There was talk about energy, shifting memories, releasing pain of generational traumas; we talked about it all!!
After years of denying her gift of guiding others through pain and helping them find healing by letting go of their past; Zoyla is finally at a place where she is fully embracing her calling and is excited and committed to help others within our community. I was so excited to hear about her experiences and her wish to help anyone willing to make a positive change in their life. I hope you all find meaning in all we shared and if you, or anyone you know, would like to work with Zoyla; please feel free to reach out to her anytime!

On this episode I sat down with writer and comedian Che Guerrero. Che tackles difficult, yet important topics of today's world. Including, chronicling his road to becoming a U.S. citizen. Having lived undocumented for over 20 years, Che shares the struggles, frustration and uncertainty that so many in similar situations as himself face, as they navigate a system that is not as kind or fair most of the time. During our conversation, he shares the story of how he brilliantly crafted a plan to keep his job without letting his boss know his status would soon become undocumented, so that he could move away and start fresh in a different city. Che is charismatic, funny, and so, so talented. He has made appearances on AXS TV's Gotham Comedy Live, and Central on BET as part of their Artist Spotlight Series.
I truly hope you tune in to listen to his story because it doesn't take much to realize just how special Che truly is.
