Personal Mythmaking Podcast's special pandemic series It’s episode 74 and I'm telling the tale of Stone Soup.
It's paired with the previous episode, #73 - a conversation with Talyn Martin, reformed organic farmer living on Gabriola Island (Isle of the Arts) in Canada’s Pacific Northwest.
Talyn Martin is a reformed organic farmer living on Gabriola Island (Isle of the Arts) in Canada’s Pacific Northwest.
Talyn was a guest on episode 30, and I wanted to invite her back on the podcast to specifically to talk about food security and organic farming, because she has so much experience in it, but also because I don’t think enough of us (even folks like me with organic farmer friends) truly understand how important supporting food security and our local farmers actually is.
Enjoy the conversation!

For this special pandemic series, we’re going to dive right into some rich topics with skilled and experienced experts in their fields.
Starting with episode 72, we’ll talk to a retired organic farmer about food security, local and organic farming, and how to support food security in your own communities through gardening, community gardens, farmers markets, community supported agriculture boxes (aka CSAs.)
We’ll talk to an art therapist and counsellor about how our creativity can support our emotional and mental health, and how we can get creative without needing to spend much money.
We’ll talk to a healer about navigating sudden and drastic life changes. She’ll share a bit about how she did so as a young woman with a spinal cord injury, the importance of advocacy for self (as well as for those who need our support) and the kinds of things she’s found supportive on her own life path.
We’ll talk to an astrologer with more than 26 years experience doing astrological forecasts and readings (as well as wonderful tarot card readings) and hear, from her perspective, how astrology can be a support in understanding what is happening in our world, and in ourselves. (yes, even if you’re a sceptic.
And more!
In between each episode I’ll share a fairytale or myth related to the topic and person we just learned from. This’ll be fun. An episode for deep learning. An episode for ancient story wisdom.
