I imagine this episode to be best enjoyed while on a long walk, drive or curled up with a warm beverage. Today's conversation is one of authenticity, vulnerability, pain and beauty. Michael DeVenney is a friend of the show and an amazing advocate for the space where mental health and entrepreneurship intersect. I was blessed to be invited to Michael's beautiful home to share this conversation. I was introduced to Michael's work when we collaborated on a presentation for youth entrepreneurs, and after hearing his story, I knew I needed to get him on the pod. Michael's willingness to speak openly about a traumatic childhood that consisted of sexual violence, emotional suppression and bullying and how it's led to a lifelong journey of self-realization and healing is nothing short of inspirational. One of my favourite conversations to date. Kick back and relax because life is indeed a big ol wreck.

Family Ties, A Conversation about Change, Grief, and Mindset Ft. My Sister Caitlyn Moore
Conversations like the one you'll hear today are why I started the podcast. The opportunity to sit down and learn more about the people you know the most is such a gift. Today on the pod, I'm joined by my little sister, Caitlyn Moore, to talk about the transitional point she's at in her life as a recent graduate (almost, she just needs to throw the cap, so close enough). The conversation branched out into a look into her past year and the dynamics surrounding handling change, healing from trauma, grief and more. Kick back and relax and enjoy this week's chat.

Living with Anxiety and the Impact of Sharing Authentically Ft. CTV News Host Ana Almeida
That idea of "putting on a mask" to hide your pain is something so many of us are familiar with, but when your job requires you to stand in front of a camera and perform at your best day in and day out, that term takes on a whole new meaning.
I'm really excited to share this conversation with all of you today. Today's guest, CTV's Ana Almeida, and I met on a Movember walk back in 2021, and after hearing about her experiences as a person living with Anxiety and how she's used her platform to diminish the stigma that still surrounds mental illness, I knew it was only a matter of time until we got an episode out together. Well, two years later, the time is NOW! During our chat, Ana talks about her relationship with herself and reflected on the impact that Anxiety and her mental health have had on her relationships with friends, family and partners. We talked about how she shared openly about her mental health struggles live on air during Bell Let's Talk Day in 2017 and the amazing impact she saw from the communities she serves after she did so. During a part of the show that will always stand out as being a particularly special moment to have shared, Ana, who immigrated as a youth, talks about her close relationship with her father and how she navigated learning about his cancer diagnosis during a very difficult time in her life.
This episode is funny, authentic, and vulnerable; it's everything you'd want from an episode of Life's a Wreck.
