We are ecstatic to introduce you to our latest bombshell who arrived (very on-brand) yielding a mimosa glass in one hand and a Nerf gun in the other. Award-winning All-Star Middle Linebacker, two-time Grey Cup champion, and a eight-year Canadian Football League veteran, Shea Emry talked with us about the importance of creating safe spaces for men to “ventilate” (politically correct terminology here) their feelings. After suffering a concussion which put him out for almost a whole season, Shea who was battling depression, began looking inwards - adventuring and navigating mental health and his childhood traumas. This episode is hilarious but equally informative and incredibly important as we support the men around us who are struggling to get out of the societally upheld box of tough guys and alpha-no-emotions. No matter what your background, assigned gender or preferences - this episode has something for everyone - think epic snowball fights, yachts, the power of yelling and axe throwing. About Shea Emry:Former Pro Footballer turned men's mental health advocate and adventure entrepreneur Shea Emry is tackling new challenges. He's battled some behemoth humans and suffered from countless concussions as a result. Combining those concussions with childhood trauma have, in turn, made his latest endeavours more difficult than they needed to be. Since retirement, he has founded a number of companies; Wellmen, A men's adventure club, aimed at inspiring men to find healthy ways to ventilate their human experience, Axewood axe throwing crew, and most recently Avalaunch Snowball Blitz — which is paintball style snowball fight experience. All of which are based at the Whistler Racket Club. Debilitating fear, self-doubt, and procrastination have impeded his efficiency and ability to be his best version of himself. Join us as we journey through his story, how he's been able to continuously battle his fears daily and bring childish dreams to fruition by saying what the huck? Why the huck not? Let's huck'n do this. To connect with Shea: click HERE To connect with Bombshell Brunches: click HERETo connect with Kristina Lao: click HERETo connect with Raquelle Roodenburg: click HEREThank you to our incredible BB Team: Glen, Bosco, Hannah, Grace, Elvin and Nicole!  Levels Music Production: Audio Career Pathway Support (to connect with Levels Music Pro, click HERE)

I got a text from one of my friends and it said "You need to check out Shea Emry" and attached was a TED Talk from him. I knew of Shea from an article I read about his retirement as a CFL linebacker. After being engrossed by what he was saying, I sent Shea an email and he gladly obliged. One of the main reasons I wanted to have the two-time Grey Cup Champ on the show was because he's a been a voice on the positive tenants of keeping your mental health in check, and he was a great example of doing something for people past your professional career. But as you hear him talk, you find out that this is something that Shea was born to do. You'll hear about his life as a young man, his fascinations with axes, his views on locker room talk, and the reason he wanted to create Wellmen, a group for men to find their inner vulnerable primal being. Men Edmonton is hosting a free movie screening of The Mask You Live In, the Representation Project's take on masculinity in the modern world. After the movie we're going to have a panel conversation with four prominent men about masculinity and what it is to be a man. It's going to be hosted by Ryan Jespersen, and going to be held in the Garneau Theatre on April 1st. I'm going to be there, if you're coming let me know, I would love to say hey! I hope to see you there! You can catch me on Twitter and on Instagram @modernmanpod and search me on Facebook.
