We ALL fall down, together we rise. Whether you’re going through dark days, or have dealt with them in the past, or perhaps maybe they have impacted someone you love, we have all been impacted by mental health struggles in some way, shape or form. No matter what it is that you are going through, life can and will get better for you. We have all felt that same feeling of being alone in this world, when the lights are all out, and nobody else is awake and all we have is the voice in our head. The feeling that even with our friends, family, coworkers, teammates, bosses, coaches, and peers around us, that we are alone in this fight, and in this world. THAT SPECIFIC FEELING IS WHAT CONNECTS US ALL. We are together alone. Not only will it get “better” but I truly believe you can find the greatness that resides within you, and that you’ll spread it to others as well. I find it interesting to speak with business owners, hard workers, and inspiring people about the challenges they have faced and how they‘ve overcome them. Based out of Vancouver, I find it important to speak about some of the difficult things in life, and to encourage others to feel happier and spread the love!

No matter what you post, the haters always seem to show up. Whether you're building a brand, sharing your thoughts, or just having fun online, negativity is inevitable. So how do you handle it without letting it ruin your day? In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, we dive into the world of online criticism, internet trolls, and why negative comments tend to stick with us more than positive ones.
I recently had one of my most viral social media posts yet—and along with the engagement came the usual wave of negativity. Some people were cracking jokes, some were genuinely trying to be helpful, and others? Well, they just wanted to hate for the sake of hating. This got me thinking: Why do people leave negative comments? And more importantly, how should we respond?
In this episode, I explore:
- The psychology of online hate – Why negativity spreads faster than positivity.
- Why people criticize you online – And why most of the time, it has nothing to do with you.
- The power of ignoring vs. engaging – When to clap back and when to move on.
- How to shift your mindset – From taking hate personally to using it as fuel.
Social media is full of quick-hit dopamine spikes, viral moments, and “gotcha” comments that people chase for clout. But at the end of the day, does any of that really matter? Instead of getting caught up in negativity, we can choose to focus on what actually moves us forward.
If you’ve ever let a negative comment ruin your mood or questioned yourself because of online hate, this episode is for you. Tune in and learn how to navigate the noise, stay true to yourself, and keep creating without fear.
Much love, and I’ll catch you next Monday. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe! 🚀

When I stopped to help an American man jump-start his car, he shared something surprising: during his time in the U.S., strangers often stopped to help when he was in trouble, but here in Canada, no one had stopped until I did. This encounter got me thinking—what does it take to truly be helpful and kind?
In this episode, I explore the connection between confidence, capability, and kindness. We’ll discuss why being polite and helpful isn’t just about good intentions, how cultural differences might shape our willingness to help strangers, and practical ways to build the confidence to act when someone needs us. Tune in for personal reflections, thought-provoking questions, and a challenge to be ready to step up when it matters most.
