Ep 103 - Unstoppable with Dorothy O'Dell

Ep 110 - Prelude to a Post-Suffering Schizophrenic World

This episode follows my thoughts while working on a documentary addressing our mental health crisis, which has turned out to be a profoundly eye-opening experience. My research led me to revisit a profound conversation I had with Carol Cowan-LeVine in mid-2017, after reading her thought-provoking article in The Walrus titled "Death by a Thousand Cuts: How an Army of Mental Health Professionals Let My Daughter Down." [https://thewalrus.ca/death-by-a-thousand-cuts/]I share this interview in this episode.

Ep101 - America Post Election - A Means to Diffuse our Political Divide?

We don’t usually think of our workplaces as peace-inducing spaces. So here’s a challenge!! In this episode, we contrast the differences between conservative and liberal values and examine a new opportunity to lower political tensions this post-election season. It stems from the question: Could our actions in business play a role in mitigating our political divide? I think so – but I’d love your thoughts on it too!Give this a listen, and then send me your thoughts. See you next week!

Ep100 - Planning Out Your Second Act! A Chat with David Muise

Tonight is about pursuing life after work – and answering the question about what we consider to be work or not – when we’re doing the things that bring us joy. In this episode, I speak with David Muise, a musician and author from Nova Scotia, who shares insights about the vibrant music scene in his community, his journey through retirement, and the significance of social connections and community engagement in the process of starting something new. We’ll also discuss the inspiration behind his children’s book as we talk about the mining life in New Waterford, Nova Scotia. Join me and special guest, David Muise – on this 100th episode!

Ep 98 - Well at Work with Dr. Esther Sternberg

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been hard at work in an environment that might look very different from what it looked like just five years ago! Some of us work from home, while others work in a hybrid role oscillating between home and traditional office spaces. Still, for many of the workforce working full time on location, work routines have remained the same – those working in traditional office, manufacturing, medical, and transportation roles, for instance. However, one thing that has changed for all of us is how we think about our workspaces and their impact on our health. Today’s guest teaches us that we can be active participants in contributing to and improving our built work environments in a way that helps us sleep better, perform better, and feel better. And that’s good news! Join me and special guest Dr. Esther Sternberg [https://esthersternberg.com/] as we dive into the topic of becoming well at work!
