We’ve been conditioned to beat ourselves up, judge ourselves, and push ourselves to the limit. “If you're not doing, you're not succeeding” — a belief system so deeply ingrained in humanity that it has us enslaved.

In this constant doing, we've drifted far from our natural state. We've internalized a war with ourselves, shifting into a fear-based way of living.

But what if you could see things through a new lens? What if you could recognize that you are already perfect as you are — and feel that deeply?

Imagine a world where you’re no longer forcing yourself to be something you're not, and instead, simply accepting who you are.

In this solo episode, we’ll explore how these automatic, often critical thoughts are really a reflection of your relationship with yourself. Most people struggle to offer themselves love and compassion. When they look in the mirror, they only see the things they want to change — instead of the living perfection they truly are.

I'm here to tell you: it's time to step into your true essence — with love and compassion.

I’ll guide you through this reflection using analogies inspired by Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Mastery of Love.

This episode is sure to offer you a fresh perspective — both toward yourself and in your relationships with others.

It’s not every day that you meet someone brave enough to stand against the crowd. Dr. K, head of the ICU at Ottawa Hospital, took a powerful stand during the pandemic — one that prioritized the mental health of children, even when it went against popular opinion.

What followed was horrific: public shaming, intense criticism, and even threats directed at his own family. Yet, knowing in his heart that he was acting in alignment with his values — and for the greater good — he stood firm, supported by a strong and courageous community, even as his professional reputation hung in the balance.

After enduring the darkest and most isolating period of his life, Dr. K rose from the ashes. He has since stepped into a vital leadership role in medicine, working closely with political decision-makers to reshape the Canadian healthcare system.

His mission? To help individuals shift from prescription to prevention — a movement that’s now gaining real momentum, and earning the respect it deserves.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I open up about my own personal experience as a paramedic, while battling PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The painful reality of being met with silence, judgment, and isolation from the very community I served alongside.

I share the very call that sent me into a downward spiral of the unknown, in the face of an infectious disease exposure and then the mind-blowing events that happened after the call, which only intensified my risk.

This is a raw and honest look at the stigma surrounding mental health in emergency services — and why it's time we change the conversation and see the humanity within these professions. First Responders are human beings, not super humans.
