A lot of the time, especially as men, we tend to put our egos in front of our well-being, hiding behind the shield of “I’m okay”    I wanted to talk about the dangers of this, and how to deal with it.   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review and rate 5 stars on Apple Podcast, and Spotify!

Author of “For When Everything Is Burning” Dr. Scott Eilers joins me on the podcast again!   We discussed trauma, when it occurs across a society, or when it occurs at an individual level.   After that we talked a little bit more about using a crutch, how to recognize them, and how to get rid of them!   Let us know what YOU think!   Link to buy his book:   https://www.amazon.com/When-Everything-Bu...

Sometimes in life we get stuck in these times when the doom and gloom get too overwhelming and start to impact our mental health.   We also get stuck in the monotonous times where every day is exactly the same.   When times get like this, it’s important to change things up, keep it fresh and give yourself something new to be excited about.

This episode I got the opportunity to chat with Scott from Multiple Calls Podcast!   Scott has been a first responder from the medic side of things, as well as fighting fires, and trust me when I say, he has had more experience with helping his own, and with other people’s mental health than you could imagine.   Talking to him made me feel grateful, grounded, and a lot more comfortable with where...

I wanted to open up a bit more publicly about what I have been going through recently in terms of where my life, and mental health have been.   Addiction can be an absolute life ruiner whether it’s to social media, a substance, a toxic relationship, junk food, or anything else, and can keep your life in a rut.   If you have been going through something similar, or have in the past, you are not alo...

If you’re anything like me, you always look back at your anxiety attacks and think that nobody else gets the same feelings, or has the same experiences, or even has panic attacks or anxiety attacks for silly little reasons like this to begin with.   Well, you’re wrong, and I’m here to prove it.   Because I have been so open about my mental health both on this podcast, and on my social media, I rea...

Ever feel like you’re trying out your routine, and staying consistent with it, but feel like you’re just banging your head against a wall? (Or a wet slide?)   Sometimes all we need to do is take a step back and take a look at our situations from a different angle, and re-stratigize our plan.   What have YOU done in the past when this happens?   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review...

I cherish every single conversation that I get to have with Zack, especially this one!   Since Zack moved to Alberta, I haven’t had the chance to chat with him too much, but this was one hell of a way to catch up.   We chatted about Canada’s current economy, and some new legislation that has been passed through recently.   Zack’s podcast can be found on every single podcast platform as “Plaid Jack...

When we are going along in our mental health journey, a lot of the time, it’s easy to think those dark thoughts when you’re wondering about your self worth.   “Am I good enough?”   “Why can’t I just be good at the things I try?”   “Why do I keep making mistakes?”   And so many more…   It’s difficult to remember to just appreciate the effort that we put in to ourselves and the work that we do that...

Matt helped people with their investments back when he lived in Vancouver, but since he started living more in alignment with actual self and purpose, he’s been helping others do the same.   We chatted a lot about how working in the wrong job can be detrimental to your mental health, and how you can start to understand yourself a bit better.   His IG:   @matt.svrn.coach   If you liked the show, he...

  While trying to share a bit more about my own personal stories, I wanted to start off with my first personal experience with depression and anxiety, and how they came to be.   I compared myself to people around me a lot as a young kid, as a teenager, and as a young adult.   I am still learning to try and get past these mental road blocks.   I wanted to share my stories in regards to mental healt...

If you haven’t listened to the last episode yet, here’s a little bit of an update: I’ve been in pain.   Both, because of an injury I’m currently facing and also, due to some things in my life that have been impacting my mental health.   Mental illness can be brutal at times, and can force us into retreating from doing the things that we need to do, but don’t necessarily WANT to do.   It makes the...

Sometimes the hardest thing to do, is to tell someone else a hard truth… The only thing harder than that, is being able to tell YOURSELF a hard truth.   If we let every one area of our life slip enough, it can be detrimental to our mental health, and leaves us in need of some SERIOUS self help, or perhaps even reaching out to some sort of a support group.   In reality, this feeling of “not being e...

Once again, in case you are curious as to what goes on in the group that we have that has daily conversations about what we are going through on a daily basis regarding mental health, I wanted to share some clips from this weeks call!   When it comes to mental health, sometimes just discussing it with a friend, mentor, or anyone you trust can start to point you in the right direction.   That is ON...

It’s so easy to look at the world and to point out all the things that have room for improvement.   As much as we like to do that, is it really the most impactful or effective way to make these improvements?   If we really want to improve the mental health of society, shouldn’t we start with our own?   Let me know what YOU think!   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review and rate 5 s...

Ranjodh came through to Vancouver and I had to have him on the show to chat more about some of the updates in his life, and business!   Ranjodh works with people transforming their lives by coaching them in regards to their workouts, nutrition, and with their mindset!   He has helped many people transform their mental health, and will continue to do so!   His IG: @RD.Fit   If you liked the show, h...

A lot of the time, when people give us advice, we think one of the following:   “That won’t work for me”   “My life is so different than anyone else’s”   “Maybe if I had…”   “I’ll be able to do that once I….”   “You don’t know what I’ve been through”   And so on…   A lot of the time, the advice someone else gives us sounds like it won’t help, is too difficult, is not relevant, the excuses go on.  ...

A lot of the time we find ourselves hearing our friends and family members, coworkers or loved ones.   It can be frustrating to hear people complain about the same problem over and over again, especially when you’ve tried offering help and they won’t accept it.   Sometimes we just need to hear ourselves speak about what we think about to process our own thoughts.   Excited to hear YOUR thoughts!
