- The Rise of Masculinity
In this week's episode, I am excited to welcome Will Spencer. Will is an entrepreneur, traveller, and storyteller. His path has taken him from Stanford University to the Dotcom Boom and through 33 countries on six continents. Along the way, his passion for personal growth led him into the exciting world of men’s personal development and transformation. Today he hosts a podcast called The Renaissance of Men, where he conducts extended interviews with thought leaders, both men and women, working towards a "great reconciliation" of the sexes. Will also hosts weekly online men's groups and offers a 12-week mentorship program where men can make their principles real in their lives.
In this episode, Will shares why masculinity is on the rise again. He walks through a brief history of the decline of masculinity and why he believes men embody masculinity traits again. Will also explains the difference between masculine and feminine traits and why he believes men cannot have both. We also discuss the transformation men go through to step into their masculinity. While I do not agree with everything Will shares, mainly due to our belief systems, I truly value Will's perspective, and I learned a lot from him in this episode. I also enjoyed our conversation because we need to have more of these discussions.
Please find Will on Instagram @renofmen. On Twitter @renofmen and his website: www.renofmen.com. You can also check out his podcast, The Renaissance of Men.

53 min - What is Neurofeedback Therapy?
I am excited to welcome Blake Ausmus and Kayla Taylor in this week's episode. Blake, Kayla and I discuss neurofeedback, how it works, and its benefits. We discuss how neurofeedback is a non-invasive alternative to traditional therapy, which can have powerful effects and an immediate impact on people seeking to overcome mental health struggles.
Neurofeedback (NF) Therapy is a form of biofeedback that uses EEG (electroencephalography) to measure brain waves and teach the brain to function optimally. Sensors are placed on the head to measure electrical signals. Then a person will receive feedback through visual or auditory input, which provides messages that help to inhibit or reward certain patterns of functioning. Over time and with repetition, the brain learns these new desired patterns, and we often see a reduction in symptoms and/or an improvement in many areas of life.
Blake Ausmus is a Registered Psychologist in Alberta. He is the owner of Sano State Health Clinic, and he practices in Calgary and St. Albert.
Blake has been practicing biofeedback and Neurofeedback therapy in Calgary since early 2014. Since then, his practice has evolved to include counselling as well. He finds fulfillment in helping people overcome trauma (both physical and emotional) through various approaches and therapies. Using a non-judgmental approach in mental health is essential to him, as he recognizes the importance of clients feeling comfortable for progress.
Blake is passionate about technologies and how they can be implemented in therapy. He has been trained in several different types of Neurofeedback. As a result, clients of Sano State have access to cutting-edge therapies that are non-invasive but very effective in supporting treatment. Blake is fluent in Spanish and earned a BA at the University of Calgary in Spanish before finishing his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Psychology at Walden University.
Kayla Taylor is a Registered Psychologist in Alberta. She is the co-owner of Sano State Taylored Psychology Inc., and she practices in Calgary.
Kayla is passionate about mental health and wellness and has been practicing in the field since 2010. She is a strong believer in holism, mind-body connection, and the importance of healthy and secure attachments to our overall health and well-being. Kayla works with adults, children, adolescents, and families. She supports clients through various approaches in talk therapy and play-based therapy, Neurofeedback Therapy, and Biofeedback.
Kayla has a Master of Science degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Calgary. Kayla enjoys spending time with her family and socializing with friends, exercising, travelling, and reading and learning in her spare time.
If you would like to learn more about neurofeedback and the work Blake and Kayla are doing, please check out their website: www.sanostate.com

42 min - The Pursuit of Self-Love
This week, I do another solo episode and talk about self-love. My goal was to expand on some things that prevent us from honouring ourselves and not giving the love to ourselves that we constantly pursue from others. I also share some stuff from my book, The Pursuit of Self-Love: 30 Uplifting Messages and Thoughts, which is due for release in April.
Expectations, comparisons, connection, solitude, forgiveness and humility, if framed appropriately, can improve the relationship we have with ourselves and build more love for ourselves. We create and set expectations daily in almost every aspect of life. Expectations on outcomes, on our employers, our friends and family and our loved ones. We even set expectations for ourselves. Anytime these expectations are not met, we turn against ourselves.
We also compare parts of our lives, if not everything, with some "ideal" or others without fully knowing everyone's story, further perpetuating our lack of love for ourselves. The only comparison we need to make is with a previous version of ourselves to determine our growth and progress. We also struggle with solitude at times. Finding stillness is uncomfortable and difficult because of what we may find. Therefore, most of us choose to distract ourselves with mundane things. In solitude, we can reflect, introspect and understand ourselves better.
We all crave deeper connections where we can be seen, heard and valued. However, we seek those connections externally, which can manifest as emptiness. However, when we form a deeper relationship with the self, we are in a better place and seek similar connections with others. Often we remain stuck and carry the burden of resentment. The antidote to that is forgiveness. Forgiveness can be for ourselves and others so we can let go and free ourselves. Stepping into love requires us to move past guilt, shame, despair and anger. Finally, humility allows us to keep a level head. Accepting mistakes and always seeking to understand while reminding ourselves that we do not have all the answers allows us to remain humble. Without humility, we block ourselves from self-love.
When we build love for ourselves, we have more to offer to others. Our cups are not empty. As Robin Sharma said: “It is only when you have mastered the art of loving yourself that you can truly love others. It is only when you have opened your own heart that you can touch the heart of others.”

51 min - Healing Intergenerational Trauma and Coming back from FND.
In this week's episode, I welcome Terry Stroud. Terry and I recently connected in our last Master's in Counselling Psychology course and exchanged many thoughtful reflections and ideas regarding family systems therapy. Terry is a mature student who has worked with teens in the past, became an electrician (often called the "site counsellor" by those from other trades), and is now excited to become a psychologist and counsel people of all ages. He is passionate about the LGBTQ+ community, mental health, and doing a touch of crocheting in his free time. Having suffered from a Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), his life has been reshaped into a desire to help people see just how powerful the mind and brain can be on our entire bodies.
In this episode, Terry and I talk about his journey through Functional Neurological Disorder, how he dealt with it and what he learned from it. Terry talks about his mindset and what has helped him through this experience in life. Terry also shares how this entire experience impacted his wife and kids. We also talked about Terry having some realizations regarding intergenerational trauma and how he has applied what we recently learned in our course together.
You can find Terry on Med-Mastadon under terryjstroud.

53 min - The Hero's Journey
In this week's episode, I was excited to welcome Steve Fader. Steve is someone whom I have become friends with recently, and we have shared some very deep, honest and raw conversations. Steve is an entrepreneur at heart, but most of all, he is a man who has gone through his Hero's Journey and has come back to support others and guide them through their journey. The Hero's Journey has become a theme for me, and I have covered various aspects of it in previous episodes, such as the rites of passage and atonement.
For Steve, it started with the work ethic instilled in him as a young child, although highly traumatic, and built him into the man he is today. The lessons about the world he learned through this upbringing were rooted in the fact that the world was not easy. If he wanted more, he would have to fight for it. Throughout the first 30 years of his life, he realized how difficult the world could be to navigate alone, and he chose to make sure he developed into the type of man that would not allow circumstances to dictate his future happiness and success.
He learned that success isn't as simple as hard work = Success. Many times he worked hard and achieved nothing but physical and mental anguish. He realized that If he wanted more, he needed to change many aspects of the way he saw the world and build on how he was brought up. The foundation was cracked and stressed but not irreparable. And proper discipline and hard work through personal development were going to be key. There is no growth without change.
Upon achieving success, be it through learning from failure or an actual successful endeavour, it dawned on him that he was here to help people realize that they could also achieve what they wanted. The 'elevator back down' analogy describes trying to elevate the people around you. In martial arts, the saying was 'Iron sharpens Iron, ' which he still tries to live by today. If he can manage his way to the level of success he has achieved, he can perhaps help others realize their potential. That is something that, over time, has become a big focus of his, for better or worse. Over the years, he realized that not everyone wants or is prepared to succeed. He believes that success and failure are equally as substantial. Either of these things can change who you are, better or worse.
Now, Steve tries his best to put good into the world and works hard to provide for himself and his wife. He ensures his wife, his closest and strongest supporter, is protected and provided with the life most people dream of. He always continues the journey of personal development, as it is the only way he can succeed and continue to have the chance to effect change in the world. Respect and loyalty are two of the main drivers of his intention. He believes that everyone deserves both until they prove they do not. He stays on the journey to succeed and help others succeed because he would like to see as many people as he can become happy in his life. He feels that building an army of successful men with the same ability to effect positive change in the world is part of his calling. He was told he was a monster for so long that he began to believe those things and quickly realized that this might be true to a certain extent. But now, as a monster, he owes himself to control and direct that aspect of his personality for good and not evil. Many times in his life, circumstances could have played out differently. He chose a different path at several pivotal times in his life, and those choices led him down the road he rides now.

1 hr 16 min - Police Services and Mental Health
In this week's episode, I was honoured to welcome Darren Smith. Darren was born and raised in Calgary. After High School, he attended the University of Calgary, where he got a degree in Sociology focusing on criminology, before joining the Calgary Police Service in 2004. He has since returned to school several times, being trained in management, police leadership, major crime investigations, and incident command. He is currently completing his Master's Degree in Public Safety.
Since joining, Darren has worked in various areas within the service. He has worked in and supervised patrol, has worked in surveillance units, including the city's Auto Theft Team and the public safety unit, and was deployed to both the G8 in Toronto as well as the Olympics in Vancouver. At 29, he was promoted to Detective, working on significant crime investigations, including attempted murders, robberies, kidnappings, sexual assaults, abductions, and all crimes against persons. He has been awarded several times by the police service, City, and Province, for the teams and investigations he has led and been a part of.
Darren has a passion for preventing family violence. He supervised the Domestic Violence Team for many years, teaching domestic violence prevention and investigation to police officers, other agencies, and civilians. He was later transferred to the Homicide unit, where he worked on several homicide files, many of which involved domestic violence, before moving to the offender management unit. Darren is currently a Staff Sergeant in the Calgary Police Service, supervising the Child Abuse Unit. Having supervised and led hundreds of police officers for over a decade, Darren also has a passion for ensuring the mental health of his officers and their families and ensuring they have rewarding careers and lives.
In this episode, Darren and I talk about his passion for being a member of the Calgary Police Services and why he loves to work with people. We also discuss the mental health challenges first responders face and the impact first responders have on our society due to their dedication and the sacrifices they make.

He brings a unique perspective to his practice and writings as a former law-enforcement officer, seminary graduate and ordained minister.
Dr. Poulter has authored seven books: The Shame Factor, The Father Factor, The Mother Factor, You Ex-Factor, The Art of Successful Failure and Father your Son. His Professional directive is always to help diagnose, treat and understand the power of our relationship world. His newest book, The Shame Factor, is a culmination of over twenty thousand hours of in-person clinical experience addressing the insidious nature of shame.
Dr. Poulter works with a wide range of people specializing in the father-son/daughter relationships and our relationship to psychology and spirituality. Dr. Poulter is married and the father of four children.
In this episode, Dr. Poulter and I discuss the beginnings of shame and how shame impacts men in their lives. Dr. Poulter explains how he addresses shame in the various chapter of his book, The Shame Factor. We also discuss some of the ways we can normalize conversations around shame.
