56. When We Wake with Mimi O'Bonsawin

September 11, 2026

My guest today is award-winning singer-songwriter Mimi O’Bonsawin, whose new album, Evoke, is rooted in the natural world and alive with the lessons it has to offer.It’s a world shaped by growing up, as she puts it, a wild child running through the woods just outside of Sudbury Ontario, now by her life in the Ottawa Valley, and by the 28 garden beds she tends at home.
