May is mental health month and today's podcast guest, Dr. Shahana Alibhai is a mental health expert.

Dr. Shahana Alibhai is a professional speaker and lead physician at one of British Columbia's largest youth health centers. Much of Dr. Shahana's career is focused on those struggling with their mental health.

Our conversation was so good that I didn't want it to stop, so I created two episodes. Today's episode is part 1 of my time with Dr. Shahana. She is a master at blending her personal story and the resulting shame, denial, and mental health challenges with her professional background.

To continue the conversation with Dr. Shahana Alibhai, you can connect with her on LinkedIn, Instagram, check out her website or take her quiz. You can check out her TEDx talk, "Emotional Literacy for Better Mental Health."

Meeting people like Mary Ciammetti helps me to understand that when we embrace something larger than ourselves, our mission and purpose become crystal clear.

Raise your hand if you remember the first time you had too much to drink. I'm sure you remember it well; I know I do--and I was lucky. I was lucky that I recovered. Imagine if you know of someone who didn't. Imagine if that person was your son.

Hear Mary's story and discover her lifesaving mission behind leading the Don't Stall Just Call and the CTC Wellness Foundation.

My podcast this week shines a light on how Mary and her team teach people something critical no one talks about: How to spot the signs of alcohol poisoning so they can make a call and save a life.

To continue the conversation with Mary, you can connect with her on LinkedIn, check out the Don't Stall Just Call website, and watch this informative YouTube video.
