This week on the Tom Roland podcast, I sit down with John Gluck, the author of 'An Exercise in Uncertainty.' We dive deep into discussions about fishing, life, and John's incredible journey battling Multiple Myeloma—a rare blood cancer.  Diagnosed with only 18 months to live, John has now thrived for over 21 years, thanks in part to breakthrough treatments and his passion for fishing. We also explore how fishing became a therapeutic escape for John, the power of mindset in overcoming challenges, and the role of family and career in his ongoing battle.  Tune in to hear this inspiring story and learn from John's experiences.

Oh btw, rashes are HARD. What really happened during Shannon's second trimester? How does Shannon feel about childbirth? How are her hemorrhoids holding up?

Breakups can shake your world; emotionally, mentally, and even physically. In the final episode of our romantic relationships mini-series, we're diving into the pain of separation, the grief that follows, and how to take care of your mental health in the aftermath of heartbreak. When it comes to our mental wellbeing, the ending of a relationship or the loss of someone we love can leave a profound impact. Going through a breakup often brings a wave of intense emotional pain, sometimes even physical pain,  that can leave us feeling vulnerable, deflated, anxious, and stuck on repeat. The mind races with memories, what-ifs, and alternate outcomes, as we struggle to come to terms with someone no longer being part of our life. Feeling sadness, loneliness, low self-esteem, and a loss of motivation is completely normal during heartbreak. But if we isolate ourselves or get consumed by these feelings for too long, there's a risk of falling into deeper mental health struggles, such as anxiety disorders or depression. To help us make sense of this emotional rollercoaster, host Gabby Sanderson is joined by certified dating and relationship coach Adrienne Everheart. Adrienne is a feminine energy therapist, bestselling author of '500 Ways to Talk to a Man', and the creator of the “ABCs to Get Him Back” program. She's helped countless women heal after heartbreak, rebuild their confidence, and move forward from relationships that were no longer serving them. In this powerful conversation, Adrienne shares insight into why, after a breakup, people often obsess over what could have been, rather than what actually was. She explains how the grieving process is deeply personal, with no one-size-fits-all timeline for healing, and offers advice on navigating tricky dynamics with mutual friends when a breakup disrupts the social circle. The episode also delves into the psychological science behind breakups, depression, and grief and how they can trigger deep wounds to come to the surface, such as abandonment issues. Adrienne highlights why every relationship carries valuable lessons and provides practical guidance on rebuilding self-worth, restoring confidence, and opening the heart again to call in the kind of love that truly aligns. Whether you are moving on or holding onto hope, this episode offers support, perspective, and reassurance that healing is possible, no matter how deep the hurt.

Her story began as a child when she experienced her first panic attack, developing coping skills along the way, yet always struggling to find the right help to feel like her true self — free from the fear of the next episode.This conversation is a reminder that mental health isn't always visible, and struggling in silence shouldn't be the norm.

Nowadays, there is more to it than money.Health, energy, peace of mind and financial well-being are now core to the definition of wealth. Wealth now also implies having physical vitality, emotional clarity and strong relationships on top of financial stability.Dr. Levine explains how financial stress impacts physical health. Canadians often underestimate how much stress about money affects their day-to-day.[03:11] Dr. Noah: “Our financial wellness is so closely connected to our overall well-being. Financial stress can have impacts on a number of areas of our health, one of those is sleep.”[05:47] Basics of Health and Well-beingDr. Levine encourages starting with simple, science-backed habits that build a healthy life.He breaks down the core areas: balanced nutrition, regular movement, and quality sleep.Prioritizing relationships also play a major role in long-term well-being.These foundations are essential for building resilience, performance, and financial well-being over time.[09:43] The PERMA Model of Well-beingWell-being isn't just the absence of illness—it's about living with meaning and intention.Dr. Levine introduces the PERMA model: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Achievement.Fulfilling each component of the PERMA model enhances our quality of life.Focusing on these elements helps people feel more fulfilled and aligned with their values.[12:21] Building Resilience and Coping with StressResilience can also mean adapting to stress and unpredictability rather than trying to remove it entirely from our lives.Dr. Levine shares “micro skills” like pausing, walking, or using mindfulness to manage stress in real time.He introduces the flexibility mindset: a belief that you can face challenges with optimism and control.[16:06] Dr. Noah: “The flexibility mindset is basically a conviction that no matter what happens, I'm going to find a way to deal with this.”This mindset helps people recover faster and stay grounded during uncertainty.[17:47] Employer Support for Employee Well-beingDr. Levine shares how employers can support employee health through smart, strategic interventions.He highlights flu clinics, healthy scheduling, and wellness programs as proactive health tools.In today's strained healthcare system, employers can fill critical gaps in mental and physical care.[23:28] Preparing for RetirementRetirement is a new life stage that requires emotional, physical, and cognitive preparation.Dr. Levine outlines how physical activity, sleep, and mental stimulation support long-term health.Social connection prevents isolation and helps retirees maintain happiness and mental sharpness.Finding purpose and setting new goals after work creates a fulfilling retirement experience.[28:25] Elevating Financial Well-being Through Intentional LivingSmall actions can lead to major life transformation — similar to how financial investments can grow to large sums over time.[28:59] Dr. Noah: “I don't really think it matters where you start. I think what matters is making a commitment to yourself and taking that first step.”Real wealth includes energy, clarity, and a sense of accomplishment which can be done from repeating small wins.Staying connected to your “why” makes it easier to sustain health and financial well-being.Intentional choices today shape the life you want to live tomorrow.About Dr. Noah Dr. Noah Levine is a Family and Occupational Medicine Physician and the Corporate Medical Director at CIBC.

In this deeply personal episode, I'm joined by Harriet Ennis, a psychology teacher from York and this year's winner of the British Psychological Society's Pre-Tertiary Education Psychology Teacher of the Year (PEPTOTY). Harriet reached out to share her personal experience of Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), previously referred to as school refusal. Harriet brings both professional insight and a powerful parental perspective to the conversation, as she opens up about her daughter J's journey through this challenging experience. EBSA describes children who are unable—not unwilling—to attend school due to overwhelming emotional or mental health difficulties. It's estimated that 1–5% of students experience EBSA, though this number may be even higher post-COVID. It's not about truancy or defiance—it's about real, often invisible, distress.

In this episode, Kamini Wood reframes procrastination not as laziness or poor time management, but as an emotional coping strategy to avoid uncomfortable or challenging tasks. She explains that underlying emotions such as fear of failure, perfectionism, overwhelm, or a lack of control often drive procrastination. Understanding these emotional roots is crucial to breaking the cycle, as procrastination can erode self-trust, damage self-esteem, amplify anxiety, and reduce productivity. Kamini offers actionable tools to combat this, including Mel Robbins' "Five-Second Rule" (counting down from five and taking immediate action), breaking down large projects into smaller steps, clarifying your "why" to build intrinsic motivation ,, and time blocking specific tasks in your schedule. She emphasizes that progress, not perfection, is the goal, and celebrating small actions builds momentum and confidence.Discover more powerful tips and guidance here: https://www.kaminiwood.com/blog/Learn more about my coaching services: https://www.kaminiwood.com/services/Follow me for more empowering inspiration and guidance:https://www.instagram.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.facebook.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.pinterest.com/itsauthenticme/

Today, we are going to lean into a conversation that I have with students around advising time, close to graduation, at the start of a new semester and when students are sitting with a sense of uncertainty about the future.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:In this episode from the vault, I draw from my own experiences to share four counterintuitive strategies that can transform relationships and encourage healing when you're parenting a young person struggling with substance use and mental health. I emphasize the importance of asking questions instead of giving commands, focusing on self-reflection rather than solely on your child, trusting a higher power, and broadening your perspective to see the bigger picture. I've also included recommendations for books, podcasts, and exercises to support you on this challenging journey, promising hope and community support along the way.EPISODE RESOURCES:Episode 22 with Krissy PozatekDr. Brad Reedy's podcast, services & booksBeyond Addiction book and workbookEpisode 3 & 136 with Carrie Wilkens Ph.D.This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

In this episode, I had three experts come on the show, but they're not the typical experts I have on Focus Forward. I got to sit down with three incredible teens, Eliza, Mark, and Sam, to talk honestly about conflict and how to manage it between teens and adults. This episode is one I've been wanting to do for so long and I'm thrilled to bring it to you today.We covered everything from communication styles to what it feels like to be misunderstood, and even how trust is built—or broken—in those tricky conversations. And of course, I couldn't not mention EF skills, so you'll hear me comment here and there on how key executive function skills like self-regulation, flexible thinking, and perspective-taking show up in real life and impact us during conflict and resolution. Listen to learn from these teens about the importance of creating space for mistakes and learning, and how trust is the answer - we have to work to trust them and they us. It's a hard journey that we're all making together. These teens were thoughtful, vulnerable, and wise beyond their years. I think you'll walk away with some valuable insight—and maybe even a few moments of, "Oof… yeah, I've done that as a parent or teacher." I know I experienced this multiple times! But, as we've heard Ellen Galinsky, Nerissa Bauer, Ken Gisburg, and others, say, it's never too late to make a difference in how you interact with your kids.

This episode is different. It's not about lifting heavier, chasing goals, or even finding motivation. It's about grief—deep, human, life-altering grief.A few weeks ago, I lost my mom unexpectedly. And in the middle of everything I'm feeling, I knew I wanted to sit down and share this… because we don't talk about grief enough. We avoid it. We dance around it. But it's one of the few things that every single one of us will experience.In this solo episode, I open up about the moment I got the call that changed everything, the complicated and very real relationship I had with my mom, and the invisible weight of grief—what it feels like to move through the world while carrying something no one else can see. I talk about the things I wish I said, the things I'll never get to say, and what has actually helped me feel supported in this early, disorienting stage of loss.This episode is raw, emotional, and honest. I recorded it not because I have answers, but because I needed to give grief a voice—and maybe help someone else feel less alone in theirs.If you're grieving… I'm with you.And if you're not, I hope this helps you show up for someone who is.Take care of your heart.I'm taking care of mine, too.I Also Discuss:(00:02) A tribute to my mom(06:30) Sitting with grief and unexpected loss(19:22) What support looks like in the thick of it(29:37) Grief, remembrance, and how we show we care(32:47) learning to carry the ache—and keep goingFind more from Tara: Website: https://www.taralaferrara.com/Instagram: @taralaferrara @broads.podcast @broads.appYoutube: Tara LaFerraraTiktok: @taralaferrara

In this deeply emotional episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we sit down with Pete Grimwade, a bereaved father whose unimaginable journey through neonatal loss inspired an awe-inspiring physical and emotional challenge: running 10 marathons in 10 days wearing a 10kg vest, raising nearly £30,000 for 10 life-saving charities. Pete opens up about the pregnancy complications and birth of his daughter Isabella, who was born with multiple complex medical conditions including AVSD (Atrioventricular Septal Defect), dextrocardia, scoliosis, cleft lip, and Goldenhar Syndrome. He shares how he and his wife Charlotte navigated NICU life, the heart-wrenching loss of their baby girl at 10 weeks old, and their battle with grief, trauma, and postnatal mental health. But Pete didn't stop at surviving the grief - he ran with it. Literally. This is a story of resilience, fundraising, parental love, and community support.

I talk with Craig Malkin, author of the best-selling Rethinking Narcissism: The Secret to Recognizing and Coping with Narcissists, in which he explains that narcissism is a spectrum. It's healthy and normal to have some positive and grandiose illusions about your place in the world, as long as those illusions don't become pathologically unhealthy and toxic. Topics discussed: the spectrum of narcissism, ranging from more normal forms of narcissism to pathological, malignant, dangerous forms; common misconceptions about narcissism; existential and psychological factors that can lead to more malignantly narcissistic traits and behaviors; the phenomenon of people overzealously labeling others narcissists; the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (the basis of many people's understanding of narcissism) and how it works.
