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!

Distraction Is the Thief of Joy | Ep. #152
Monday Jun 02, 2025
Monday Jun 02, 2025
We always hear that comparison is the thief of joy—but I think it’s actually distraction that’s silently stealing our happiness.
In this episode, I break down how constantly reaching for our phones, filling every quiet moment with noise, and avoiding stillness is keeping us disconnected from real peace and joy. I’ve caught myself doing it too—scrolling instead of sitting with my thoughts, numbing out instead of tuning in.
I talk about what I’ve noticed in my own life, how I’ve started changing my relationship with distraction, and what you can do to take back your focus, your time, and your joy.
If you’ve been feeling mentally drained, disconnected, or just "off" lately… this might be why.
In this episode, I talk about:
• Why silence feels uncomfortable—but is necessary
• How distraction keeps us stuck and unfulfilled
• Practical ways I’ve been reclaiming my focus
• Why presence is more powerful than productivity
If this hits home for you, share it with someone who needs it too. And as always—thanks for tuning in.
