Building Community and a Sense of Belonging with Jackie Dickinson

This week on Uncorked we have a very special guest, Whistler's own Jackie Dickinson, a devoted mom, partner, and community leader in Whistler. Jackie shares her story, reflecting on her 15-year career at Whistler Community Services, a place she passionately believes in. She lets us in on how her initial struggle to feel at home in Whistler and reconnecting with familiar faces from her past helped her establish a sense of belonging in this mountain town.

Steph and jackie dive into the importance of genuine human connections in an increasingly disconnected world, the need to bring back the sense of community and why asking for a cup of flour or help when times are tough should be the norm, the role of community services in addressing deep-rooted issues that scenic beauty alone cannot solve, how Jackie balances her demanding role with self-care, the impact running can have on your mental health and so much more goodness.

Tune into this inspiring tale of community, resilience, and the quest for genuine connections,and let Jackie’s story fill your heart. And don't forget to leave us a review – your support means the world to us!
