Margaret, Todd and Claire chat with Michelle McVittie, known worldwide as "Mom The Manager"! In this episode the topic on everyone's mind was mental health, especially important during the pandemic.

Michelle is a family and corporate consultant, child life specialist, speaker, author and the host of her own television show. Michelle is a past guest on BTasONE, when it was known as Let's Just Do This!

With the right tools and support I believe change is possible. So whether you need individual support, a blog post to read or a speaker for you next event I’m here to support you.

My story

I’m the manager of my home, but it wasn’t always that way

When you feel overwhelmed, anxious, resentful, or angry you can be on a private island with a personal chef and feel as though it’s not enough. No matter the stage of your life, your joy meter needs to be high in order to feel fulfilled and activated to do more. This applies to a solo entrepreneur, a single mother, a CEO or a young adult just starting out. I made more time for the things I loved and it lead me to my true passion. Prioritizing my self-care made me calmer and happier.

Margaret, Todd and Claire chat with Frederick Dryden, founder and CEO of Liberty For Youth!

Frederick Dryden was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica. He migrated to Collingwood Ontario, when he was 11 years old. After experiencing abuse as a teen, Frederick was inspired to start Liberty For Youth in 2004. Frederick has received the following awards for his work with Liberty For Youth:

2012 – Recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Award

2011 – Recipient of the Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 Award

2011 – Recipient of the John C. Holland Award for Community Service within the Black Community

2011 – Recipient of the Paul Harris Fellow Community Award

2008 – Recipient of the Canadian Living Me to We Award for Social Action

In the Fall of 2016, Frederick completed a 3-week marathon between Ottawa to Hamilton, ON, with a goal to raise awareness and funding for at-risk youth. Frederick ran over 700 KMs and conducted over 72 speaking engagements along the route.

In 2018, Frederick released his first book entitled, "Running For Their Lives". The book captures his at-risk teen years – when he experienced homelessness and was in conflict with the law – along with his 'Run for Youth' journey.

Frederick’s passion for youth can be summed up in his statement, “I believe that young people are constantly in search of the truth, the right way to live, and have the capacity to do so with proper guidance."

Frederick and his wife Tanya live in Hamilton with their children.
