Episode: Day 13,943(1) - June Bloom (Week 2 Completion)

Episode Description

Kevin drops in a day early with a real-talk check-in on the June Bloom journey. Battling an incoming headache and stormy weather that canceled a planned father-daughter canoe trip for his daughter’s birthday, he keeps the momentum going and shifts focus to Week 3: Mind Bloom.

He recaps Weeks 1 & 2 (habits/hydration and movement/outdoor adventures) while challenging listeners to embrace meditation, breathing exercises, reflection, and inner work this week. Kevin reminds everyone that Mental Health May is flowing right into this growth month — it’s about building on what you’ve started and finding calm amid life’s chaos.

Short, honest, and motivating — exactly what you need mid-challenge.

  • Reflect on your week, choices, stressors, and wins
  • Optional: Yoga or find a simple relaxing ritual (even enjoying a yogurt in peace counts)
