The Risen Fallen Podcast

When chatting with ANYONE, think about everything you can learn from them.   No matter where we start, or where we are at TODAY, there are always options to PROGRESS or REGRESS.   Ranjodh and I got to connect and chat about our journeys dealing with our mental health, relationships, self development, and becoming what it is a man truly is.   Feel free to connect with either of us on social media a...

Too many of us walk around like overgrown adults.   We are quick to point out everything wrong about society, but view it as a personal attack when we have to deal with our own flaws.   This is detrimental for our mental health.   Time for us to grow up.   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review and rate 5 stars on Apple Podcast, and Spotify!

Back by popular demand!!   Dr. Josh Mermelli obviously specializes in mental health, and therapy helping those who are in a journey in their own self development and improvement.   He always provides different perspectives that I think we could all learn from, and takes an exceptionally empathetic approach to overcoming these struggles.   Every conversation I’ve had with this man, made me a better...

In the past couple years I’ve seen a lot of changes in society, some for the better, some for the worse.   I wanted to talk specifically about the great divide that I’ve noticed and how I think that it has impacted everyone’s mental health, and how we can pivot from this point in history.

Zack and I stayed up late past our bedtime to speak about some of the current events going on in Canada right now, how we got here, and tried to figure out solutions before I fall asleep and my brain shuts off completely.   If you want to hear me lose my train of thought, and for Zack to sound way smarter than me, the longer you listen, the dumber I sound, and the more patience Zack had to practic...

At the start of every year, everyone makes goals, or resolutions. They can be regarding our mental health, fitness goals, financial goals, relationship goals, spiritual growth, or anything in between.   Every single podcast, YouTube channel, and influencer, and their uncle, talks about these goals and how we stick to them throughout the year, but then we forget… But this is your reminder… How are...

Obviously, this life never ceases to surprise us with how crazy it can be, sometimes in very bad ways, that can destroy the state of our mental health, or self development.   However, time and time again (if we look hard enough) we are able to find things to be grateful for!    Some things in this world that we live in, are absolutely CRAZY!   What are you grateful for?   If you liked the show, he...

When we are dealing with struggles in our mental health, or in life in general, a lot of the time, it can feel like a part of us is dying, or decaying.   When this starts to happen, whether it is a physical, or mental illness, or just a personal battle, we are faced with the philosophical debate of “chopping off the finger to save the hand”   I’m excited to hear what you think!   CONTACT ME!   IG...

At the end of the day, there are some things in life that we just cannot control, and that can knock us off our game. If it happens over and over again, or the event is big enough, it can put us deep into a dark place mentally.   Here’s some tools I have been using recently to make sure that everything that is within my control gets taken care of so that no matter what happens that is unexpected,...

Recently, at the end of the year of 2021, I went out to run 30km, and ended up running a marathon pushing for the full 42km!   I wanted to share the lessons that I learned from my experience, and see if it can help you out with your perspectives, and maybe even your mental health!   LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!   CONTACT ME!   IG + TikTok:  @markdhenriksen   Twitter: @markdhenny   FB: https://www.f...

Josh and I connected a couple years back as we worked for very similar fitness companies!   Since then, both of us have set out on our journeys to live our dreams, and one of HIS, was starting “LVYD” (Live Your Dream)   Through all his avenues that he is going down, including working in the finance industry, coaching, apparel, and being a father, he’s gained some pretty wicked pieces of advice and...

With how much division there has been in society, I wanted to address some of the issues that I have been seeing in both social media circles, and my own immediate social circles.    I think these things have deep impacts on our mental health, and take tremendous amounts of effort to counter, and end in society.   Im eager to hear the ways YOU think we can get out of this mess!   LET ME KNOW WHAT...

Let's face it, in January every single year, we all sit down and make a list of resolutions that we want to accomplish this year.   They could be lifestyle changes, goals, changes in career, or literally anything else, but at the end of the day, these things are going to have to become a part of a routine if we want to sustain them throughout the year, so I wanted to give my insights on how we can...

Happy New Years! Welcome to 2022, I wanted to share some of my experiences in terms of reflecting back on your past year, how to make sure that you either repeat your wins, or learn from your losses, and failures, how to prevent them in the future, and how to build a contingency plan in case there is a reoccurrence! This can all come into play when planning your resolutions around New Years as wel...

For the last episode of 2021, I was joined by Nori Athletics, and we chatted about being reflective over your last year, and figuring out who you want to be in the future, and how to get there.   Make sure you check out everything I got listed below to get the most out of your year:   The Jim Carrey video I referenced: https://youtu.be/VodrZDe3bcE   Their IGs:   @NoriAthletics @michellepetrovic @n...

I find myself, and many of my friends, always waiting for a CLEAR GOAL, or a VISION.   Something to manifest, a why behind the what, something beyond ourselves to work towards.   And those things are useful, purposeful, and fulfilling.   BUT STOP WAITING FOR IT!!   WORK HARD NOW SO THAT WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY ARISES, YOU’RE PREPARED.   If you aren’t the person worthy of the opportunity, it will not...

Wanted to cover some of my favourite aspects of last years holiday episode as we approach Christmas here, as well as some new ideas as well.   I hope everyone had an amazing 2021, or made the most of it, considering the circumstances, and all the weird things we had to put up with recently.   Love you all!   Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to everyone who reads this!    LEAVE A REVIEW ON APP...

I feel like this one speaks for itself, friend groups are like holes, you can expand them to be wider, to spread further, and have more friends (or… hole….) or, you can choose to dig deeper, keep the width the same, but just get straight down to the gold.   Digging, either way, is valuable, but they have different benefits, and it’s something to think about in terms of our social lives.   These ar...

We all know that feeling when you are trying something, or practicing something, and we don’t want others to see us fail.   How are we ever going to get better if we are afraid pf struggling?   Be the example for what it means to truly develop, to want something more than you fear others judging you.   LEAVE A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS!   CONTACT ME!   IG:  @MarkDHenriksen   FB: https://www.faceboo...

At the end of the day, none of us want to be completely selfish, but you can’t pour out of an empty glass.   So take some time to fill your glass, even if people call you selfish for doing so.   People only criticize when you are filling your cup, but they are the first to put their cup out and asking you to fill it up.    How are YOU filling your glass?   LEAVE A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS!   CONTA...

Lee has a ton on the go, from multiple podcasts, to running his business in the hospitality industry, and trying to prove to me that Australia is a real place.   His podcast, “No Pants No Problems” is a podcast I’ve found that “strips down” the conversation around men’s mental health, and also provides a few great laughs!   It was a pleasure speaking to him!   His links:   Apple Podcasts: https://...

If you listen to this podcast often, or really, at all, you’ve heard me speak about both Mental Health, and Self Development (or Self Improvement.)   We all understand the concept of mental health, and mental illnesses, but what exactly does self development or self improvement entail? What does it look like, or feel like?   I’m interested to hear what you think!   LEAVE A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS...
