MAM #008 - The (Career) Trek

The Great Resignation has seen 1 in 4 workers look for new opportunities - what about a career makes us look elsewhere? And how should we think about making job changes? We speak to a former HR executive from Canada Post about his own path and his model, called the Trek.

MAM #007 - Resolutions

By convention, every January we face a decision around a plan for the year. A resolution. A target that we're going to set, perhaps share, and strive to achieve. This can produce great results and/or great stress. Let's talk this one over.

MAM #006 – Relationships in Middle Age

Relationships aren't easy at any age but given that both we, and our partners, change over time our middle-age relationships may be feeling some stress. COVID doesn't help. As always, you're not alone. We discuss some common themes and provide some approaches to working through (or out) of your challenges.

MAM #005 – Reinventing Yourself

This may be a very good time to re-invent yourself. But what does that mean and how do you go about it? Re-invention doesn’t have to be a full "makeover" it can be as simple as building a few good habits. We discuss the definition and approach to re-invention in this (relatively short) episode.

MAM #004 – Mindfulness in Middle Age

We take a look at mindfulness in context of what we're all going through and the vast benefits of this practice. Our special guest is Angela Scott who brings more than 20 years corporate training and post-secondary teaching experience to her role as a senior mindfulness instructor at her mindfulness studio (www.forestcitymindfulness.com [http://www.forestcitymindfulness.com/]). We address clinical benefits, the practice itself, warnings, and steps to begin.
