Very cool episode this week. Today I sit down with a true one of one in the podcasting world, Jeremie Saunders from CBC's Sickboy podcast, to explore his experiences as a man living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. Jeremie shares how he learned of his diagnosis as a child and how it shaped his views on life after learning that he'd be unlikely to see his 35th birthday. He explores the nuances of living life faced with his mortality through the lens of mental health and provides an authentic look into the highs and lows associated with his disease and the subsequent release of a life-saving drug in Trikafta.

Alas it was a very somber day in Halifax Nova Scotia, grey and gloomy. I sat in my expiring office chair the faux leather flaking onto the floor. I had just finished my interview with Booby Temps, a brilliant flourish of a man, the second hosts of Dating Games and my old friend. I had interviewed his cohost Stephanie Foster earlier in the week and now as I stared at the white "this Zoom has ended" screen, frozen in my mental wreckage trying to grapple with how I would edit this podcast I sat back, my chair's old bones creaking and I thought.....Wait a goddamn second is it really all just a GAME?!

Authenticity, what a can of worms. A beautiful gift of self acceptance, an appreciation of the wreck that you are and something that we for some reason forgo in the face of formality. Since working for a startup accelerator I've been privy to an entrepreneurial mindset of needing to build at the sake of authenticity. Be what you think an employer or partner wants you to be, hide your personality for the sake of your venture, "I aM a BuSInESS pErSoN." The examples go on and on and what I find so funny is that the advice from some of the most successful people I know contradicts the need to hide your authentic self. Building through authenticity is a way to avoid burnout, incorporate more fun into your day-to-day, and avoid creating something that doesn't serve your purpose. Our guest today is a fantastic example of this. Join Mid-Day Squares CoFounder, Rain Maker, Dancing Machine, Hype Man and Public Speaker Jake Karls and I as we explore Jake's entrepreneurial journey, talk mental health, and dive into the beautifully deep waters of authenticity.

Gratitude is a powerful facilitator of wellness. It also helps us grow and learn from moments where we fall short or stumble along our journeys. Today on Life's a Wreck, I sit down with content creator and former #1 football recruit in all of America, Max Browne, to celebrate failure, the power of a growth mindset and identity. Our conversation has something for everyone but make sure to share with an athlete in your life. Max's wisdom is something every young person who dreams of competing at a high level should listen to. Oh, how wonderful it is to fail.

When I mention "health," what comes to mind? The terms "physical health" or "mental health" ( I mean, you're listening to a mental health podcast, so I can imagine that one might pop up quite quickly) hitting the gym, eating well, doctors? Great words, but I'm curious: did the terms "social, connections or relationships" cross your mind? Often overlooked, studies have shown time and again that one of the most important overall contributors to general wellness, regardless of nationality, background and lifestyle, is the quality of the relationships in our lives. We take care of our physical health and our mental health, but so many of us don't think twice about our social health. That's something today's guest is trying to change. Founder of the GenWell Project, Canada's human connection movement, Pete Bombaci, joins me today to talk about the importance of connecting as a means to maintain and elevate our sense of wellness.

Happy Friday Wrecks! What do you get when you bring together two men from the Maritimes, who both create wellness content, have competed on Big Brother and are interested in the potential power of magic mushrooms? You get on hell of an episode. Adam Pike joins me this week to talk about his transition from working in the oil fields of western Canada to becoming a content creator advocating that holistic wellness is for everyone and betterment is achievable every day through accountability and the help of nature. Adam is an avid believer in the power of micro-dosing psilocybin and credits the use of magic mushrooms with various shifts in his mindset that have led to a deeper sense of self and overall wellness. Having a few east coast men, who have shared similar experiences, sit down to talk about the transformations they've gone through as individuals will always be really special to me. Kick back, relax and enjoy it because life's a wreck.
Although we explore positive experiences we've had with psychedelics during this episode, Life's a Wreck does not endorse using any psychedelic substance.

Happy Friday Wrecks! Hope you've been doing well. This has been a very tough year for many people in Nova Scotia and after the floods we experienced these past few weeks, I wanted to send some love to all those affected.

This week on the podcast, I'm joined by my friend Joel Kaskinen who has supported me and the podcast since our early days and someone I'm very fortunate to have crossed paths with throughout my mental health journey. An advocate and podcaster himself himself, Joel uses his background in communications and community building to advocate for mental healthcare, suicide and gun violence prevention, and other social rights. During our conversation, we talked about the nuances of advocacy and Joel shares his experience with the cost that advocacy can have. A great conversation with a great person so make sure to kick back and relax and enjoy the ep!

Today we dive into the murky waters of one of the most common phrases in the wellness vernacular: Resiliency. We often talk about being resilient, but what do we really mean? Is resiliency to be unfeeling? Does it mean never giving up? Are resiliency and anti-fragility the same thing? What does it look like in the context of teams and organizations? How can I be more resilient? All of the many nuances of the word are explored by the team at MindFrame Connect and their Co-Founder, today's guest, Brice Scheschuk. Entrepreneur, business leader, public speaker and former Maritime Surface Officer in the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve, Brice has dedicated countless hours to teaching entrepreneurs across the country how they can build resiliency, and today, he's joining the wreck.

WE'RE 4, WRECKS!💅🚀🤷♂️😶🌫️🍻🤔👑🌊📈🥳 What a disaster. Somehow we've begged, borrowed, and stolen our way to 79 podcasts since July 5th, 2019. During this time, I graduated from university, we survived a pandemic, I flamed out on reality tv, went on mental health medication, got off mental health medication, talked to thousands of people about my story, have spent approximately 435 hours editing episodes, and made some amazing memories along the way. With these fourrible (lol nice) years under my belt, I feel like I've learned a few things about the podcasting space. Today we're doing a bit of a different episode in honour of our fourth birthday. We're counting down the top 4 things I've learned in 4 years of podcasting.

That idea of "putting on a mask" to hide your pain is something so many of us are familiar with, but when your job requires you to stand in front of a camera and perform at your best day in and day out, that term takes on a whole new meaning.
I'm really excited to share this conversation with all of you today. Today's guest, CTV's Ana Almeida, and I met on a Movember walk back in 2021, and after hearing about her experiences as a person living with Anxiety and how she's used her platform to diminish the stigma that still surrounds mental illness, I knew it was only a matter of time until we got an episode out together. Well, two years later, the time is NOW! During our chat, Ana talks about her relationship with herself and reflected on the impact that Anxiety and her mental health have had on her relationships with friends, family and partners. We talked about how she shared openly about her mental health struggles live on air during Bell Let's Talk Day in 2017 and the amazing impact she saw from the communities she serves after she did so. During a part of the show that will always stand out as being a particularly special moment to have shared, Ana, who immigrated as a youth, talks about her close relationship with her father and how she navigated learning about his cancer diagnosis during a very difficult time in her life.
This episode is funny, authentic, and vulnerable; it's everything you'd want from an episode of Life's a Wreck.

I imagine this episode to be best enjoyed while on a long walk, drive or curled up with a warm beverage. Today's conversation is one of authenticity, vulnerability, pain and beauty. Michael DeVenney is a friend of the show and an amazing advocate for the space where mental health and entrepreneurship intersect. I was blessed to be invited to Michael's beautiful home to share this conversation. I was introduced to Michael's work when we collaborated on a presentation for youth entrepreneurs, and after hearing his story, I knew I needed to get him on the pod. Michael's willingness to speak openly about a traumatic childhood that consisted of sexual violence, emotional suppression and bullying and how it's led to a lifelong journey of self-realization and healing is nothing short of inspirational. One of my favourite conversations to date. Kick back and relax because life is indeed a big ol wreck.

Conversations like the one you'll hear today are why I started the podcast. The opportunity to sit down and learn more about the people you know the most is such a gift. Today on the pod, I'm joined by my little sister, Caitlyn Moore, to talk about the transitional point she's at in her life as a recent graduate (almost, she just needs to throw the cap, so close enough). The conversation branched out into a look into her past year and the dynamics surrounding handling change, healing from trauma, grief and more. Kick back and relax and enjoy this week's chat.

75 Episodes! A really amazing milestone. Thank you so much for your love and support over the past four years, you beautiful wrecks. It hasn't been pretty, but it's been ours. I can't think of any better way to celebrate than with a conversation with one of my favourite podcasters, Brian Stever. Brian is a mental health advocate and a bonafide storyteller. As co-host of the Sickboy Podcast, he helps break down the stigma surrounding illness by fostering honest conversations like the one we had today. After learning about our shared appreciation for therapy while recording an episode of Sickboy (linked below), Brian and I decided to hop on the mics and chat about the place therapy hold in our lives. The conversation only blossomed from there. An open and authentic conversation between two men, what more could you want.

Welcome back to Life's a Wreck (it's been a minute). I've been working on this podcast for the past five months and finally get to share it with all of you. It's been an experimental podcast for me as I look forward to what the future may hold for Life's a Wreck and let me promise you it has been a ton of fun piecing together. The entirety of this episode is inspired by the future. The future of me, of this pod and of the mental health care system in Canada. I was inspired to create this episode while listening to an episode of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History. The episode was on experiments and specifically what magical experiments experts in various fields would do to vastly advance their understanding of their work. I wondered "huh what would this look like for mental health" and the concept for this pod and its new sound was born.
In this episode, you'll hear from:
The Scientific Director of the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics (CAMH) Dr. Sean Hill, Canada's first EVER Federal Minister of Mental Health and Addiction The Honourable Dr. Carolyn Bennett, and the Executive Director of the Canadian Mental Health Association's Nova Scotia chapter Karn Nichols. Prominent voices in the mental health space, all coming together to discuss what the future of mental health looks like in Canada. Kick back and relax for a much-anticipated episode of Life's a Wreck.

I had a tough time coming up with a name for this episode because of all that Marty and I chatted about. However, I think what strikes me the most is that this man has gone through some really tough times and still continues to seek out life's challenges, face them head-on, and embodies the idea of embracing the wreck. So this truly is simply a lesson in living.
Martin Frenette is a fraud investigation, author, father, hockey coach, and role model for men everywhere simply in how he actively chooses to live. While Marty and I were in the Big Brother Canada house we talked about doing this episode so to finally have it come to life is really special. I hope you'll all enjoy listening to the episode as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Kick back, relax, and listen to a few New Brunswick boys (or boys at heart) talk about mental health.

WE'RE BAAAAACK BAAAABY! Welcome back to Life's a Wreck everyone! As many of you may know I recently participated in the most recent season of Big Brother Canada. It was an absolutely surreal experience to be a fan of the show and then actually get a chance to participate. In this episode, I break down my mental state leading up to the house, in the house and then after I was evicted. This experience is one I'll be processing for a while so this episode provides a sounding-off point, a benchmark for where I'm at in that process. Much love to all of you and I look forward to sharing more stories with you all. This is just the beginning. Amor Fati.
