In this deeply personal second part, Kaylee Nishizawa opens up about how her grief became a mission—and how the loss of her younger brother, Liam Nishizawa, led to the birth of something far bigger than she ever imagined. Video version of this eps: https://youtu.be/ohcPNAenLgwWhat began as a tribute… …became a movement to make sure Liam's name, light, and story would never be forgotten—and to ensure no one else would feel alone in their darkness. After Liam's passing by suicide at age 15, Kaylee—still recovering from a life-altering car accident and navigating her own mental health journey—began designing a tribute clothing line in his honour. But in a breathtaking twist of fate, she discovered that Liam had quietly been working on his own mental health brand in the final three weeks of his life, alongside his best friend Clarice.They had named it: LowKure. A symbol of pain and healing, “LowKure” represented the lows we all face—insecurities, struggles, mental health battles—and the journey to find light again. Liam had even swapped the “C” for a “K” because he thought it looked cooler. And unknowingly, these initials—LK—would later come to stand for something even deeper: Liam & Kaylee. The beautiful realization of the meaning behind “LK,” caught on camera during this episode, became a beacon of purpose for Kaylee—a moment of divine clarity that this was what she was meant to do. That this movement was already forming—and she was here to carry it forward. From that moment, she dove fully into building a greater mission in Liam's name—a vision she's been dedicated to over the last five months since this podcast was filmed. What began as a sister's tribute became a shared vision. A brand was reborn—infused with deeper purpose, legacy, and love. Today, LowKure by Liam has grown into LowKure for You—a nonprofit initiative dedicated to: • Suicide prevention and mental health support • Accessible mental health education and identity resources • Symbolic fashion that invites meaningful conversation • Community events and partnerships that create safe spaces for healing This episode captures the heart of the movement. Since then, Kaylee has expanded Liam's original drawings into symbolic logos—each one representing a different chapter of the human journey: grief, healing, courage, and growth. Through LowKure's free digital resource hub and upcoming community events launching across Canada, Kaylee continues to fulfill the promise she made at her brother's funeral: to keep Liam's light shining. Every piece in LowKure carries a message:“Your story matters. You are not alone. We see you.” Join the mission: www.lowkure.myshopify.com (http://www.lowkure.myshopify.com/) https://www.youtube.com/@LowKure https://www.instagram.com/lowkure_by_liam/?igsh=MXJvM3lyYWFlOHA3NQ%3D%3D#LowKure is looking for likeminded business and individuals to help move this mission forward. If you or your business would like to support our nonprofit through donations, sponsorships, community partnerships, or co-hosted events, please contact Kaylee through the Support Our Mission page.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we get to chat about decreasing stress and increasing gratitude with this one accessible thing. I got to hang out with mother/daughter duo, Kelly Corrigan and her daughter Claire. Kelly is a New York Times bestselling author of four books about family life, the host of her own PBS show and a top 1% podcast called Kelly Corrigan Wonders. Like Claire, she can't stop making— books, paintings, TV shows, podcasts, meals, mistakes. And Claire just graduated from the University at Virginia where she is probably the school's only double major in computer science and drama.  Making is her life: Computer programs, standup routines, screenplays, code songs, algorithms, pizzas. During her last semester, she was interning at a machine learning company as well as a Hollywood production studio, and this mother-daughter duo teamed up to write Marianne The Maker. This is a children's book all about the power of making and really makes a case for how we can tap into creativity to decrease stress and increase gratitude. I love how they expand beyond the arts and how making can show up in so many different ways. Super stoked for y'all to dive into this one and add this book to your shelf.  Connect with Kelly and Claire: Instagram: @kellycorrigan Website: www.kellycorrigan.com, www.mariannethemaker.com Order the book: Marianne The Maker Podcast: Kelly Corrigan Wonders Connect with us: Instagram: @seed.and.sew  Podcast page: Voices of Your Village Seed and Sew's NEW Regulation Questionnaire: Take the Quiz Pre-order Big Kids, Bigger Feelings now!  Order Tiny Humans, Big Emotions  Website: seedandsew.org Music by: Ruby Adams and  Bensound Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Laura welcomes Kirkland Shave, co-founder of the Mountain Trek health reset retreat, and Dr. Kelly Tremblay, neuroscientist and certified coach, to Where Work Meets Life™to explore the connection between holistic health, burnout prevention, and the mind-body connection. Kelly and Kirk discuss the prevalence of stress and burnout in today's society and our lack of meaningful connection to nature and our own bodies and minds. Dr. Laura investigates these issues from a neurological perspective and a practical wellness approach with both Kelly and Kirk, learning what can be done to reset our healing.Forest bathing, flow trekking and sensory health practices that involve engaging with sound, scent, and visual natural experiences are all part of the conversation. Connecting with our senses and the reality of nature while separating ourselves from screens and demands can dramatically reduce stress and enhance brain function. While Kelly shares neuroscience research linking stress to actual structural brain changes, Kirk offers transformative stories from Mountain Trek, where guests can unplug from digital overload. Dr. Laura highlights the importance of understanding the causes of our burnout and how we can take control to heal our body and mind.“You've probably heard about it's Shinrin-yoku, a Japanese-researched way of being moment to moment, mindful of the sensorial information that's coming through our sense organs into the brain. And you're doing that in nature, and you're in a state of flow… where you're not thinking about other things. You're paying attention to what do I see? Or what do I see in motion in front of me? Or what do I hear out of this ear versus this ear? Or what do I smell as I go by the bark of this tree? Or which direction is the sun landing on my skin? These moment-to-moment awarenesses have been proven to lower the stress hormone cortisol. The Japanese researched this, and the main reason why they did this research is because in the 80s, as the tech industry took off in Japan, people were working 12-hour days already that we're working now, and the work burnout was through the roof.” - Kirkland ShaveAbout Kirkland Shave:Kirkland Shave, founder and president of the world-renowned Mountain Trek program, now offers off-site interactive and eye-opening workshops — grounded in anthropological health science — to help professionals integrate lasting steps in reaching optimal wellness.

With 18 years' experience as president and founder of Mountain Trek's holistic health and vitality program, Kirkland brings more than 40 years of health-focused lifestyle expertise, with experience as a fitness instructor, lead hiking guide, wellness coach, Wilderness Park Manager, yoga instructor and meditation practitioner.Kirkland's off-site workshops for executives and employees have been hosted by leading organizations, such as Google, Young Presidents Organization of Western Canada, Fortis Gas, the CEO Network, European Entrepreneurs Organization, and more. Contact Kirkland Shave and Mountain Trek:Website: MountainTrek.com  https://mountaintrek.com/Instagram: @mountaintrek https://www.instagram.com/mountaintrek/Facebook: @mountaintrek https://www.facebook.com/mountaintrekInstagram: @mountaintrek  https://www.instagram.com/mountaintrekLinkedIn: Mountain-Trek  https://www.linkedin.com/company/mountain-trek/YouTube: YouTube.com/MountainTrek  https://www.youtube.com/mountaintrekKirkland Shave on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirkland-shave-66865b29/TripAdvisor: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g499116-d223075-Reviews-Mountain_Trek_Fitness_Retreat_Health_Spa-Ainsworth_Hot_Springs_Kootenay_Rockies_British.htmlAbout Dr. Kelly Tremblay, MSc PhD CEC-ACC:Dr. Trembly is committed to making aging better by innovating in the areas of health, tech, and education through leadership, research, and advocacy.She is a consultant, neuroscientist and clinical audiologist who has worked in healthcare, tech, and higher education for 25+ years.

What should you look for when choosing a hotel, and what are some pitfalls you can try to avoid? Get ready for summer travel with this week's episode full of tips and laughs. Episode Highlights Pay attention to the bathroom layouts when viewing photos and reviews as a new hotel trend has been for more open bathroom layouts or glass doors/walls which may not be great for families or friend groups Hotels are getting better at sustainability initiatives but many are just paying lip service so if this is important to you, look for companies truly dedicated to environmental issues and offer things like bottle refill stations If you want to check out the location of the hotel, look at the Google Street view to see more what the area is like Keep in mind that suburban hotels off the highway are more likely to offer free parking, laundry facilities, and free breakfast When booking city hotels, make sure that it is located near public transportation but avoid hotels near train stations or bus stations When selecting a room, look at the square footage to compare the various room categories Keep in mind that when you are traveling internationally, it is hard to find rooms with two queens or doubles. It is even harder to find rooms that sleep five. Typically the rooms will have a double/king or two twins Sofa beds are not always clean so always ask for clean linens, just keep in mind that you will need to make them up yourself Accessible rooms sometimes have lower closets, which might not be great for longer dresses, and the showers might have roll in showers and the floor of the bathroom can get really wet Request a room location away from the elevator / ice machine and a higher floor if near a loud highway Connecting rooms have thin doors and there is a lot of noise that comes through so put in your special request "no connecting room door" Be sure to read reviews and look out for red flags about noise, cleanliness, location, and service Bring a sleep mask or something to cover the glowing appliances and lights in the room Travel with a white noise machine Look out for daily resort fees and high city taxes Some brands or boutique hotels offer happy hours or cookies throughout the day Don't expect upgrades - book the category that you want Check out what the parking situation is and whether or not it is indoors or outdoors. Parking garages will sometimes list the clearance height Tipping housekeeping for good service is appreciated so it helps to carry some smaller bills

Take a front-row seat as our gym undergoes a transformative programming revolution! After 11 years, I'm finally stepping into the programming role alongside my brother to craft workouts that better serve our community's evolving needs.The cornerstone of our new approach? I'm personally testing every workout two weeks before you see it, ensuring each session delivers the right stimulus and flows properly within the weekly training cycle. This hands-on involvement means when you see my score posted, that workout has received my seal of approval for effectiveness and enjoyment.We're redefining our LEAN program with a clear purpose: Lighter weights to build Endurance, Accessible to all, and Nurturing long-term health. Meanwhile, our South Gym is becoming an official High Rocks training facility starting July 14th, offering specialized workouts featuring more farmer carries, sled pushes, and running for those drawn to this increasingly popular competition format.With our gym's average member age being 43, we're prioritizing balanced programming that builds strength while supporting long-term health, including more unilateral movements to address muscular imbalances. Gone are the massive testing blocks—instead, assessments will be thoughtfully distributed throughout our programming, including classic CrossFit benchmarks that connect us to the global fitness community.The relationship between intensity, volume, and recovery stands at the heart of our philosophy. For those training 2-3 days weekly, higher intensity makes sense with ample recovery time. But for 5-6 day athletes, moderated intensity with consistent volume becomes crucial. As I remind members: "Consistency is numero uno. If your intensity is so high that you can't train consistently, it's not a good thing."Want to share your programming thoughts? I'm all ears! While we can't satisfy everyone all the time, we're committed to hitting that sweet spot of serving 90% of members most of the time with workouts that keep you coming back, feeling good, and making progress year after year.Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/
