Start times and Segments:

[0:00:35] What’s On Your Mind: Guest host Ciara joins Isabelle. They’re both university students. They talk about how the initially wished challenges would go away, but now see challenges as helping them grow. Challenges help their future.

[0:11:34] Expanding Minds Interview: [Economic Wellness] We interview real estate agent Lynne MacDonald. We ask her what she tells first time home buyers, and how she helps them. The current environment often includes bidding wars. The process takes more time and energy than many people expect, with stress and challenges along the way. When it happens, getting that first house is a wonderful experience.

[0:28:09] Adventures of the Starving Artist: It was a Saturday night and Cameron had lots of projects on the go. He took time out to relax and chat with a friend on Discord. His friend plays the vibraphone and he shared a new musical piece.

[0:32:06] Move That Body: Julie tells Elise about Forest Bathing and its benefits. It’s about walking through an being present in nature.

[0:36:58] Running Popup: John’s approach to wellness and balance takes hard work. He’d rather have something that’s hard to do, but doable, than either no possibility at all or sitting around waiting for wellness to come along as a lucky break.

[0:39:40] Flipside of the Coin: We’re both feeling like we’re in a rat race during a very busy time. It’s work, work, work, sleep, wake up and do it all again.
