In part two of this series on productivity and mental health, I talk about the importance of saying ‘no’ (when you can) to things to that align with your priorities.

When I'm dealing with depression or anxiety, my memory suffers and I can be horribly disorganized. Over the years I've developed ways to help prevent important tasks from falling through the cracks. This episode is the first in a series on the connection between me being productive and my mental health.

I've long struggled with emotional eating and how I view my body. In this episode I talk about how I'm trying to change that through working with a dietician and showing myself some kindness.

I'm turning half a century this year. I could look at time gone by or time to come. I'm capable of both, but only one option makes me uncomfortable. I also talk about the wisdom of James Clear and Daniel Brereton, and my grandmother.

In this episode I talk about Naomi Osaka and the need to remove the stigma associated with mental illness.

The first guest on the Better Me Podcast, Reverend Daniel Brereton, returns to chat about maintaining hope and staying connected during a pandemic, plus what lessons he's learned that he'll take with him beyond these challenging times.

I turned the podcast over to the amazing Amanda Coolidge to host this week and interview me. We chatted about mental health, morning routines, and the importance of feeling like you're making a difference.

That's right, I've meditated for more than 400 days in a row. In this episode I talk about why and how I do this. Don't forget to subscribe and share this with your friends and family.

These days people cling to their views often with little to support them. This can be bad for us as individuals, others in our lives, and society. Why do we do this and how can we change?

The first episode of the Better Me Podcast went live just as many of us in North America were going into lockdown in March 2020, and here I am, 50 episodes later. Canadian comedian Dave Hemstad returned to the show to help me celebrate, to talk about the past 14 months, and of course, to chat about golf.
