Originally: Consciousness Prints Podcast Episode 15 - Student Life, Vancouver (Daily Life, Facts, Sightseeing), Family Memories

On a family trip to Vancouver, Jonathan interviews his younger sister Maria who moved out to study there in 2021 and has lived there since.

In a unique, "day-in-the-life" and sightseeing-style podcast episode, Maria talks about her experiences as a student in British Columbia, her thoughts on the education field which she is planning on working in, and reminisces with Jonathan about family trips out to Vancouver in the past.

Jonathan also shares his knowledge of facts and history of the Vancouver sports world including the NHL Vancouver Canucks (plus some digs at the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs‬), the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and Alphonso Davies' time on the MLS Vancouver Whitecaps.

Maria and Jonathan also incorporate issues such as the housing market, regional accent differences, and political tensions in Canada into this fun episode and make a brief stop at the site of the tragic car attack in a neighbourhood very familiar to them in Vancouver that occurred just a few weeks before the recording of this episode to pay homage to the people who died and the many affected.

Originally: Consciousness Prints Podcast Episode 11 - Creativity, Spirituality, Intuition, Boundaries, Romance, Self-Love

Laura Loving has had incredible life journey with unique experiences with family moves as a child from Mexico to Canada to the U.S.A., a love for reading and deep conversations, and has been inspired by many great teachers and educational programs.

In Consciousness Prints Episode 11, Jonathan video calls Laura in Los Angeles on Google Meet from his home city of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and they both share their recent and past life experiences and insights around spirituality, the various types, feeling different (such as being "the new kid") and getting through challenging circumstances such as the recent California wildfires. They also talk about their own creativity and dealing with the sometimes harsh financial reality of pursuing exploring one's creative side but use artists such as Chappell Roan as inspiration to keep going.

Setting healthy boundaries in all types of relationships and making sure you are strong and grounded in your own life and love for yourself before seeking an intimate partner is advice that's brought up. Following one's inner nudges in all aspects of life from romance to vocational choices, is the key theme and take-away. Jonathan and Laura provide some general examples and insights from their own life experiences to illustrate this.

They end by driving into the Region of Waterloo where they were born and raised, specifically in the City of Kitchener. They discuss ideas for the future of the region such as amalgamating the 7 cities/townships and calling the new city "Kitchissipi" and Jonathan's bold vision for bringing an NHL team to the region.
