116. Embracing Indigenous Culture with Melissa Walterson

The Confidence and Communication Podcast

Join us on this week’s episode for a heartwarming conversation with Melissa Walterson, as she shares her journey of accepting and embracing her Nisichawayasihk Cree and Pasqua roots after years of growing up in a predominantly non-Indigenous life.

Being raised by her adoptive white parents, Melissa spent her adolescent years not acknowledging her indigenous roots, and always felt out of place in religious denominations. This feeling of not belonging led her to a path of reconnection with her identity, her birth family, and fully embracing her culture.

A story of self-rediscovery, acceptance, and celebrating culture, all of this and more in this episode that hits close to home. Tune in now!
