  • Molly Jane | Meditation, mindfulness & Blooming into the best version of you
    Personal boundaries and resilience are the key to lasting change. While it’s difficult to stop a habit, it’s important to persevere. Blake is beginning to see this in his own life. By adjusting his morning routine, he’s been able to take control of the day before it takes control of him.
    Working to improve yourself is one of the least selfish things you can do. By acting as your own guru, you have the opportunity to listen to your needs and show-up better in every situation. Often what you see as your biggest flaw is your greatest gift. Personal growth means you’re always growing. Self-love gives you the freedom to accept yourself.

  • Introduction | Why we want You to Rise up & Find your happiness!

    In this episode of Rise and Find, Blake introduces the podcast and explains how it came about. Rise and Find originally began as a fun outlet, but it wasn’t until Blake started an Instagram page that he realized how many likeminded people were out there. For Blake, fishing was how he coped with his mental health. For others, it was activities like surfing, meditation or working out.

    Even though everyone has a different ‘happy place’, it’s important to understand that there’s always someone who can relate. Blake expanded Rise and Find through a desire to offer support and give people the opportunity to share the experiences and tools that have been effective for them. In the podcast, he will discuss topics like mindfulness and suicide awareness, as well as difficult conditions such as anxiety and bipolar disorder. Blake will also touch on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle through diet and fitness, and how this plays a role in mental health.

    Rise and Find will feature a number of guests from different industries who will present strategies and ideas that they’ve implemented in their own lives. Blake recognizes that this issue is not a ‘one size fits all’ matter, which is why he invites listeners to participate and share their own stories. Being open about his struggles has been empowering for Blake’s personal journey.

    One of the most important elements of Rise and Find will be its unscripted nature. Instead of over editing and sugarcoating each story, Blake intends to keep them as true to their original form as possible. He wants the podcast to be like sitting down and talking with a friend. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is listen. Blake provides resources that can be used when you need additional help.
