The Risen Fallen Podcast

So many times I treat myself to something nice, after a period of working really hard because I want to be able to hustle, but still take care of my mental health.   After years and years of repeating this process, I think I am finally understanding why I never felt rejuvenated by this.   I realized that by indulging in these things that make me feel good, I wasn’t really participating in “self ca...

The more we love or care about someone, the harder it is to give our honest advice.   Especially when it comes to addiction, relationships, mental illness, or anything related to those topics.   We always feel the need to “soften the blow” but we soften it too much, so much so, that we sometimes dilute the message that needs to be conveyed.   But thinking that we are doing them a good service, we...

Within the last year, I started training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. My good friend Tristan got me convinced that entering my first competition would be a good idea.   Needless to say, he was right! I had a couple wins, and a couple losses, and I wanted to share them with you guys.   For anyone who is considering doing their first competition, DO IT.   For anyone who is considering joining a jiujitsu...

Last week, I posted an episode about simplifying your life, which I still believe in as a good way to improve your mental health, and your mind state.   This helps us put whatever we are suffering with in regards to mental illness, or any other struggles in our lives.   However, I don’t want it to be misinterpreted to be telling you not to dream big.   I’m excited to hear what YOU think!   If you...

Sachin is back!    Him and I got to sit down and chat about his running, and his future endeavours and documentary, but we also dug DEEP on how to reflect on personal struggles.   IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO DONATE TO SACHIN’S CAUSE OR LEARN MORE ABOUT IT:   https://www.gofundme.com/f/sachinmotions-run-to-remember-2022   His website:   https://www.sachinmotion.com/   His IG:   @sach.in.motion   If you li...

Recently, while speaking to some close friends, I have started to make the realization that the more simple your life is, the more enjoyable it is.   Not saying everything has to be “small scale”, not at all. I still am talking about the same ambitious goals, but nothing else.   Interested to hear what YOU think!   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review and rate 5 stars on Apple Pod...

  Been thinking and speaking a lot about anxiety recently, and wanted to speak a bit more about WHY we NEED anxiety, or why we feel it in the first place.   Hoping this gives someone out there a new perspective on this feeling, and helps them deal with mental illness, or just the way they even view mental health, and hopefully, that’s YOU.   The video I keep referencing with Jordan Peterson:   htt...

If you look on social media, life is an absolute dump.   Actually, more like a dumpster fire.   However, if you unplug for just a little bit, life is actually pretty amazing.   It isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, but it is something that shouldn’t be wasted.   Enjoy the beauty of life, and unplug for a bit, right after you listen to my podcast.   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a r...

On this weeks group call, we spoke a lot about anxieties, the different types, and the different types of responses they can draw from us.   When talking about mental health, or dealing with any degree of mental illness, it’s important to know exactly what it is that we are talking about.   I wanted to share this snippet of the group call in hopes that it encourages you to join a community like th...

I recently connected with Sachin, who has worked every difficult job under the sun, and now is striving to challenge himself even further by preparing to run across Canada.   Everything he does is to spread awareness for mental health, and specifically talks about ptsd, and how it has impacted him, and his journey rising out of depression, and becoming a light for others to look towards for hope....

A couple weeks back, I chatted about preparing for zero opportunities, but you might be asking me: “What is the point?”   If that is the question that you’ve got in mind, I HAVE THE ANSWER FOR YOU   But I’m excited to hear what YOU think!

So, another week, another call, and this week, we chatted about boundaries.   Boundaries can be extremely helpful for people’s mental health, but how do we define them?   The real question is, how do YOU define them?   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review and rate 5 stars on Apple Podcast, and Spotify!

It’s so easy to grind and work towards something, when there is a set date, or set objective.   But what do we do when the pressure is OFF?    Do we let off the gas, or work harder?   Let me know what YOU think!   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review and rate 5 stars on Apple Podcast, and Spotify!

Tristan and I have known each other for years, we met years ago working for the same fitness company.   We have volunteered together on the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, and have spoken many times about mental health and self development.   All of us have been impacted in the last couple years in regards to mental illnesses whether it’s our own, or someone we love. So Tristan and I wanted to cha...
