The other day on a major podcast, I was so proud of how @robinlehner40 eloquently called out the stats that get regurgitated, daily, in this space…the catch phrases & campaigns. None of it’s REAL. What’s REAL are the details of our experiences which show we ALL face challenges that impact our mental health. It happens at different …

This goes for both personal life & business interactions. As you get older you realize – not everyone has the same ability to focus on the nuance of their delivery. That makes some interactions awkward & uncomfortable. But I’d much rather hear directly from someone: where the delivery may not be as smooth…& the words …
It’s incredible to see teammates publicly supporting one another…especially when the don’t HAVE to. Was sent a video yesterday of Josh Anderson of the Montreal Canadiens, addressing with the media, the situation where his teammate Johnathon Drouin had missed the entire previous playoff run to the Cup Finals, to take care of his mental health. …

If there’s a term that’s come up most frequently over the past year & a half, as individuals have opened up to me, it’s: Lonely. This frightens me, saddens me, is relatable, & also makes sense, given what we’ve all lived through recently. On the one hand, we might say – but we ALL have …

This. Is. Huge. Thanks to ESPN hockey reporter, Greg Wyshynski, for sharing this story/update about Jonathan Drouin from the Montreal Canadiens. This isn’t going to get the same type of exposure & attention as the Simone Biles story did…but it should. Drouin was playing with the Canadiens in April of last season – his team …

You’d wish that they’d teach a course on this in school…but I digress: we are the SAME in that we ALL are different. Sounds paradoxical but it’s true. We all have differences that make us unique…it’s just that some of those differences are more visible than others. And so when we’re younger & in school, …

We spent a ton of time/posts discussing the Simone Biles situation during the Olympics. There were 2 main “camps” of opinions: 1) she’s an absolute hero for prioritizing her MH on a world stage, & 2) she’s a quitter. Those 2 themes were THE focus, of headlines of every major media outlet…every post from a …
9/19/21: Shifting the Conversation from Labels to Lived Experiences Read More »
I think we have to accept that we have as much of an issue openly discussing WORKING on our MH, as we do openly discussing our challenges. Normalization campaigns have existed for decades now – trying to get folks to open up, be more vulnerable, & share. But what about once we do all of …
First time I spoke to @theofleury14, 4 yrs ago, I asked: Would you give up your favorite NHL goal, to save someone’s life? He’d never been asked the question before. But he immediately said back to me…& it’s stuck w me since: “I’d give up my Stanley Cup ring & Olympic Gold Medal, just to …
Have shared recently that it’s been a tough run. Loss of two friends…one from HS, one who helped me when I was at my lowest. Then the news that one of my closest friends growing up as a kid, lost his dad yesterday. Someone who was a fixture in my childhood. At times when it …
