Authenticity, what a can of worms. A beautiful gift of self acceptance, an appreciation of the wreck that you are and something that we for some reason forgo in the face of formality. Since working for a startup accelerator I've been privy to an entrepreneurial mindset of needing to build at the sake of authenticity. Be what you think an employer or partner wants you to be, hide your personality for the sake of your venture, "I aM a BuSInESS pErSoN." The examples go on and on and what I find so funny is that the advice from some of the most successful people I know contradicts the need to hide your authentic self. Building through authenticity is a way to avoid burnout, incorporate more fun into your day-to-day, and avoid creating something that doesn't serve your purpose. Our guest today is a fantastic example of this. Join Mid-Day Squares CoFounder, Rain Maker, Dancing Machine, Hype Man and Public Speaker Jake Karls and I as we explore Jake's entrepreneurial journey, talk mental health, and dive into the beautifully deep waters of authenticity.

Gratitude is a powerful facilitator of wellness. It also helps us grow and learn from moments where we fall short or stumble along our journeys. Today on Life's a Wreck, I sit down with content creator and former #1 football recruit in all of America, Max Browne, to celebrate failure, the power of a growth mindset and identity. Our conversation has something for everyone but make sure to share with an athlete in your life. Max's wisdom is something every young person who dreams of competing at a high level should listen to. Oh, how wonderful it is to fail.  Follow the Max on Instagram @maxbrowne Follow the podcast:@lifesawreckpodcast - IGFollow Kyle:@moorzyyy - IGWatch an extended Interview with today's guest on our Youtube Channel Hosted on Acast.

When I mention "health," what comes to mind? The terms "physical health" or "mental health" ( I mean, you're listening to a mental health podcast, so I can imagine that one might pop up quite quickly) hitting the gym, eating well, doctors? Great words, but I'm curious: did the terms "social, connections or relationships" cross your mind? Often overlooked, studies have shown time and again that one of the most important overall contributors to general wellness, regardless of nationality, background and lifestyle, is the quality of the relationships in our lives. We take care of our physical health and our mental health, but so many of us don't think twice about our social health. That's something today's guest is trying to change. Founder of the GenWell Project, Canada's human connection movement, Pete Bombaci, joins me today to talk about the importance of connecting as a means to maintain and elevate our sense of wellness.

Happy Friday Wrecks! What do you get when you bring together two men from the Maritimes, who both create wellness content, have competed on Big Brother and are interested in the potential power of magic mushrooms? You get on hell of an episode. Adam Pike joins me this week to talk about his transition from working in the oil fields of western Canada to becoming a content creator advocating that holistic wellness is for everyone and betterment is achievable every day through accountability and the help of nature. Adam is an avid believer in the power of micro-dosing psilocybin and credits the use of magic mushrooms with various shifts in his mindset that have led to a deeper sense of self and overall wellness. Having a few east coast men, who have shared similar experiences, sit down to talk about the transformations they've gone through as individuals will always be really special to me. Kick back, relax and enjoy it because life's a wreck. Although we explore positive experiences we've had with psychedelics during this episode, Life's a Wreck does not endorse using any psychedelic substance.

Happy Friday Wrecks! Hope you've been doing well. This has been a very tough year for many people in Nova Scotia and after the floods we experienced these past few weeks, I wanted to send some love to all those affected. If you're looking for some local recovery resources and mental health support, check out the link below:https://novascotia.ca/storm-support/#floodingThis week on the podcast, I'm joined by my friend Joel Kaskinen who has supported me and the podcast since our early days and someone I'm very fortunate to have crossed paths with throughout my mental health journey. An advocate and podcaster himself himself, Joel uses his background in communications and community building to advocate for mental healthcare, suicide and gun violence prevention, and other social rights.

Today we dive into the murky waters of one of the most common phrases in the wellness vernacular: Resiliency. We often talk about being resilient, but what do we really mean? Is resiliency to be unfeeling? Does it mean never giving up? Are resiliency and anti-fragility the same thing? What does it look like in the context of teams and organizations? How can I be more resilient? All of the many nuances of the word are explored by the team at MindFrame Connect and their Co-Founder, today's guest, Brice Scheschuk. Entrepreneur, business leader, public speaker and former Maritime Surface Officer in the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve, Brice has dedicated countless hours to teaching entrepreneurs across the country how they can build resiliency, and today, he's joining the wreck.Learn more about MindFrame Connect:https://www.mindframeconnect.com/Connect with Brice on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brice-scheschuk-cpa-ca-095721a/?originalSubdomain=caCheck out our Patreon for an exclusive extended interview:patreon.com/lifesawreckpodcastFollow the podcast:@lifesawreckpodcast - IG Follow Kyle:@moorzyyy - IGSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

WE'RE 4, WRECKS!💅🚀🤷‍♂️😶‍🌫️🍻🤔👑🌊📈🥳 What a disaster. Somehow we've begged, borrowed, and stolen our way to 79 podcasts since July 5th, 2019. During this time, I graduated from university, we survived a pandemic, I flamed out on reality tv, went on mental health medication, got off mental health medication, talked to thousands of people about my story, have spent approximately 435 hours editing episodes, and made some amazing memories along the way. With these fourrible (lol nice) years under my belt, I feel like I've learned a few things about the podcasting space. Today we're doing a bit of a different episode in honour of our fourth birthday. We're counting down the top 4 things I've learned in 4 years of podcasting. Check out our Patreon for exclusive content:patreon.com/lifesawreckpodcastFollow the podcast:@lifesawreckpodcast - IG Follow Kyle:@moorzyyy - IGSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

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.Check out our ➡️Patreon⬅️Follow Ana:@ana_almedia - IG@anaalmeidaCTV - Twitter Follow the podcast:@lifesawreckpodcast - IG Follow Kyle:@moorzyyy - IGSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

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.

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.

75 Episodes! A really amazing milestone. Thank you so much for your love and support over the past four years, you beautiful wrecks. It hasn't been pretty, but it's been ours. I can't think of any better way to celebrate than with a conversation with one of my favourite podcasters, Brian Stever. Brian is a mental health advocate and a bonafide storyteller. As co-host of the Sickboy Podcast, he helps break down the stigma surrounding illness by fostering honest conversations like the one we had today. After learning about our shared appreciation for therapy while recording an episode of Sickboy (linked below), Brian and I decided to hop on the mics and chat about the place therapy hold in our lives. The conversation only blossomed from there. An open and authentic conversation between two men, what more could you want.Check us out on Instagram @lifesawreckpodcastFollow Kyle @moorzyyyFollow Brian @briansteverClick here to listen to my interview on SickboySupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to Life's a Wreck (it's been a minute). I've been working on this podcast for the past five months and finally get to share it with all of you. It's been an experimental podcast for me as I look forward to what the future may hold for Life's a Wreck and let me promise you it has been a ton of fun piecing together. The entirety of this episode is inspired by the future. The future of me, of this pod and of the mental health care system in Canada. I was inspired to create this episode while listening to an episode of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History. The episode was on experiments and specifically what magical experiments experts in various fields would do to vastly advance their understanding of their work. I wondered "huh what would this look like for mental health" and the concept for this pod and its new sound was born. In this episode, you'll hear from:The Scientific Director of the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics (CAMH) Dr. Sean Hill, Canada's first EVER Federal Minister of Mental Health and Addiction The Honourable Dr. Carolyn Bennett, and the Executive Director of the Canadian Mental Health Association's Nova Scotia chapter Karn Nichols. Prominent voices in the mental health space, all coming together to discuss what the future of mental health looks like in Canada. Kick back and relax for a much-anticipated episode of Life's a Wreck.Special thanks to:Willem Paynter (Bass) - @willempaynter IGGabe Mink (Guitar) - @gabeminkfurcoat IGMartin Davidson (Sax)Maya StakaCredits for additional Music:Bobby Shew Quintet, The Loop Jazz Club, Jul 16, 2017 Bobby Shew – trumpet Eric Marienthal – saxophone Matt Harris – piano Tomáš Uhlík – double bass Dennis Mackrel – drumsSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Hey you, sitting there about to listen to a mental health podcast, do you know anything about stress? Not really? You are stressed you just don't get it? Me too. How about regret? All too familiar? Me too. Well, you're in luck because this week on the podcast I'm joined by Dr. Leslie Bosch to explore our relationships with stress and regret. Dr. Bosch is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach who received her training from the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona where she also earned a Ph.D. in Family Studies and Human Development.

I had a tough time coming up with a name for this episode because of all that Marty and I chatted about. However, I think what strikes me the most is that this man has gone through some really tough times and still continues to seek out life's challenges, face them head-on, and embodies the idea of embracing the wreck. So this truly is simply a lesson in living. Martin Frenette is a fraud investigation, author, father, hockey coach, and role model for men everywhere simply in how he actively chooses to live. While Marty and I were in the Big Brother Canada house we talked about doing this episode so to finally have it come to life is really special. I hope you'll all enjoy listening to the episode as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Kick back, relax, and listen to a few New Brunswick boys (or boys at heart) talk about mental health.Follow the podcast:@lifesawreckpodcast - IG@lifesawreckpod - TwitterFollow Marty on IG :@martyfrenette_bbcan10 Follow Kyle:@moorzyyy - IG@kmoore0081 - TwitterSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

WE'RE BAAAAACK BAAAABY! Welcome back to Life's a Wreck everyone! As many of you may know I recently participated in the most recent season of Big Brother Canada. It was an absolutely surreal experience to be a fan of the show and then actually get a chance to participate. In this episode, I break down my mental state leading up to the house, in the house and then after I was evicted. This experience is one I'll be processing for a while so this episode provides a sounding-off point, a benchmark for where I'm at in that process. Much love to all of you and I look forward to sharing more stories with you all. This is just the beginning.

What's going on guys and welcome back to Life's a Wreck! Happy New Year and from everyone here at Life's a Wreck we hope it's better than the last two :D This week on the podcast I'm joined by my best friend and roommate Allister Nicholson to simply chat. Too often in the world of mental health, we get caught up in the big picture conversations but it's these kinds of conversations that can make the biggest impact. Showcasing two male best friends talking openly about their lives through the lens of mental health. This is Allister's third time on the pod and this time we went into it with no plan but ended up talking about perfectionism, creativity and finding a direction in life. It's a beautiful conversation, albeit a touch erratic, so kick back, relax and enjoy the first pod of 2022!Follow the podcast:@lifesawreckpodcast - IG@lifesawreckpod - Twitter Follow Kyle:@moorzyyy - IG@kmoore0081 - TwitterSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Happy Holidays to all! From us here at Life's a Wreck. Our gift to you: a conversation about suicide. Not the gift you wanted but the gift all of us need. This week on the podcast I'm joined by Dalhousie University Doctoral Candidate Bryce Anderson to talk about Social Anthropology and one of the biggest baddest words known to modern-day stigma...suicide. This episode is so important to me because I think it's one that my younger self could have used back when I was going through some really tough times. It's an open and casual conversation about suicide and I think all of us can take something from it. Kick back, relax, and let's have a long-overdue conversation about suicide.Follow the podcast:@lifesawreckpodcast - IG@lifesawreckpod - Twitter Follow Kyle:@moorzyyy - IG@kmoore0081 - TwitterSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

What's going on guys and welcome back to Life's a Wreck! This week on the podcast we're sitting down with Taylor Lindsay-Noel to talk about self-identity, grieving the loss of yourself, and how mindset can help us achieve more than we ever thought possible. Taylor was paralyzed by a gymnastics accident at 14 and during incredibly formative years of her life had to readjust her sense of self. She's since blossomed into the amazing person she is today and has launched not only a successful podcast (Tea Time with Tay) but also a Luxury Tea Company (Cup of Té).

Not often a few boys from Charlotte County get to sit down and get into the nitty-gritty of mental health but luckily for you, today is one of those days. This week on the podcast I'm joined by fellow mental health advocate Matthew Dickson to talk about schizophrenia and the experiences he's had living with the disease for nearly 30 years. There are some laughs, some parts that are tough to hear, and definitely some times that will make you re-evaluate so much of what you think you know about schizophrenia. This episode is an ode to all those who feel alone or that there is no one around who understands what you're going through. A beautiful episode filled with beautiful stories.  A very human episode that I'm hoping you'll get as much out of as I did.
