LIMELIGHT PODCAST

Jay Shetty had us fooled until we actually looked into his past. The quotes, the enllightment, the living in caves... so much to unpack here. Why is no one talking about this?? More details: Jay Shetty built a self-help empire on a monk story, and a 2024 Guardian investigation by John McDermott found a lot of it doesn't add up. We went through the whole thing. He officiated Ben Affleck and Jen...

Our hearts are with anyone affected by either of these tragedies. What are your thoughts on the topics we discussed? Leave them in the comments. More details: This one was heavy... We sat down to talk through two moments in recent Canadian history that hit the whole country hard, and honestly they're both still tough to wrap our heads around. First up is the Tumbler Ridge shooting. An 18-year-...

We had a goal when we started. It was to hit at least 50 episodes. And we're actually here... even though it legit almost got shut down after just TWO episodes. We reflect on the journey here and take a moment to talk about what we've learned, how we've changed, and what's ahead. If you have been following us since then, or any time thereafter, we really appreciate each and every o...

Ernie "Punch" McLean has to be the most unbelievable person in hockey history. There's so many stories he has and we could get only get through so many. You'd never know he's 93 if you were to meet Ernie. He's got a ton of energy and still sharp as ever. I'm proud to be part of The Ernie Punch McLean Legacy Foundation, as we work towards recognizing Punch with a statu...

*Watch episode 44 to watch the first conversation we had with Raj* Our first conversation with Raj from @sikhadelic.healing was a unique one to say the least. We weren't sure what kind of response we would get, but we knew we personally learned a lot from it. Just a few months later, we're pleasantly surprised to see how much of a positive response we received, also with a lot of questions...

This episode we chat about Harmol's trauma (that he was able to move past from) after his team, the Seattle Seahawks, won Superbowl LX. We also go over the commercials, what we liked, what was weird, and what (we thought) was absolutely wrong. What are your thoughts on the halftime show and the Serena Williams commercial? And if your NFL fan, how do you feel about Superbowl LX? Super Bowl 60 i...

Jessie Sohpaul joins us on this one to chat about growing up as an artist, what he's up to these days, and then some chatting about Punjabi wedding traditions. If we forgot to mention one or were wrong about something leave it in the comments!!More Details:We finally got Jessie Sohpaul on the pod. If you know Vancouver's South Asian creative scene, you already know who he is. Jessie is a P...

This episode we bring on a good friend, Matt, who has always been a very big Kanye West fan, but in recent years has found it hard to separate his art from his actions outside of music. We go over all the most notable controversial moments, aka "crash outs" in Kanye West's career, and discuss our thoughts on them. We recorded this just days before he issued his latest public apology through Wall S...

In this episode, we chatted with Raj, also known as Sikhadelic Healing, shares his experience with his path to spirituality. He brings a perspective that is unique, yet seems to make a lot of sense when you think about why Sikhism began. What are your thoughts on the subject? Follow Sikhadelics on Instagram: @sikhadelic.healing More details: We sat down with Raj, known as Sikhadelics on social med...

We flew to Ontario to meet Steve Allgood, the 2nd patient in Canadian history to receive psychedelic assisted therapy through the health care system. We can't even begin to imagine being diagnosed with cancer just days before your wedding, and not just any cancer, one that almost nobody survives. Steve has come a long way since then, defying all odds and still alive today to share his story, with...

Well, is this whole Jasleen / Akaash Singh situation just for clout? Is it because Jasleen is not a good person/wife? We give our thoughts on the whole situation. We're breaking down the Akaash Singh and Jasleen Singh drama that's been all over the internet. This whole situation with Andrew Schulz's co-host has people talking about relationship drama, toxic relationship dynamics, and w...

Jacquille Kambo, the man behind several films and many more to come, joins us this episode where we talk about how we have known each other over the years, and the impact we both had on each other without knowing it at the time. We talk about his experience being in the industry, what inspires his creativity, and how he’s learned to take care of his mental health. This was a great open and honest...

We went out for a 2nd day after the last one to do some street interviews back in September and asked people about what they really liked about Vancouver, conspiracy theories they actually believe in, and even some more serious questions around mental health. We got some interesting answers this time. Every person is unique and that's what we love about Vancouver. What are your thoughts on peo...

We went out for our 2nd time ever to do street interviews back in August and asked people about what they really liked about Vancouver, conspiracy theories they actually believe in, and even some more serious questions around mental health. We got some great answers. Every person is unique and that's what we love about Vancouver. What are your thoughts on people's answers? What should we a...

This episode discusses alcoholism and mental health struggles. We share this story with deep respect and love for someone who impacted many lives positively, while also being honest about the challenges he faced. Our goal is to reduce stigma and help others recognize when someone needs help. IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS HELP: Please know you are not alone. Resources are available, confidential...

I had never really looked into sound baths before, let alone plan to attend one in person. Although David Hickey of @crystaljourneyman doesn't like to call them sound baths, they are definitely not your average concert. The gongs and crystal bowls make specific frequencies of sound and in my personal experience, there is some sort of therapeutic effect. In our previous episode with Dr. Valorie...

In loving memory of Thomas Hartle, who left us one year ago today, on August 13th. When I first spoke with Dr. Valorie Masuda in 2022, I had this conversation with Thomas not long after. After releasing our recent podcasts from the (first) doctor's perspective of psilocybin assisted therapy for end of life distress, it's only right we share the first patient's experience. Thomas was so...

This is part 2 of our chat with Dr. Valorie Masuda who shares more details on how our current healthcare system in Canada works, and how it's not supporting "health" but rather supporting pharmaceutical companies. Some of this information was quite surprising to us, including how she quit chemotherapy practice because of her own ethical dilemma. Not many patients are given a choice a...

This episode is the most important one we've released thus far. It's been one we've had in mind before we even started Limelight. Mental health is the most important issue we're facing in the first world and there are many people suffering and coping in different ways. In the Vancouver area, yes we have an opioid crisis but really, it's a mental health crisis at its core. Psychedelic compounds suc...

This is part 2 of our conversation with my cousin sister, Taran Bhela, a make up artist in the Greater Toronto Area, known as @beautybybhela. Getting popular online comes up with many positives; it's why so many people get into it, however not many people talk about the other side of it where it can be dark and creepy. Taran isn't a celebrity by any means, however, she's had some interesting exper...

Let's set the record straight, my sister is not dating Sukha. This is a fun episode with my cousin sister who's blown up social media. She was in a couple reels with Sukha, the Punjabi singer, and right away everyone thought they were dating. Not just random people, even our own family. Sukha's a great artist and I'm proud of how he's growing as a great artist and Preeti ( ⁨@Beautybybhela⁩ ) for c...

In this episode we go over what some will call a big upset for the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC), and an incredible come back win for the Liberal Party of Canada (LPC). We are not a political podcast and we are sharing our own real life perspective, outside of just the internet, of why the results ended up the way they did. The three of us have our own perspectives that shape who we voted for...

In this episode we bring on a very talented guest, Jugpreet (Juggy) Bajwa, who's been on reality shows, won awards, sang anthems at NHL games for the Vancouver Canucks, and has also released music of his own. There's a lot we can learn about our senses and how we perceive the world. Us being able-bodied, we take for granted a lot of the time that we have all our senses and abilities, however, as J...

This episode was definitely the most difficult one I've ever had to edit. So difficult in fact, that this was filmed over a year ago and I avoided rewatching it until now. Tamara O'Brien is an incredible human and I'm so glad I had the privilege of getting to know her, and so grateful for the impact she had on my life, and so many others. There is only one other person I have ever met...

Influencers are out of control. The desire to go viral far exceeds the need to be moral with content. People will say anything to go viral these days. We react to some of the lowest IQ podcast moments, but before we do, we also go over how some influencers have actually provided value for us growing up. There’s a lot of good content to learn from online, it’s sadly just hidden because it usually d...
