    Working the Breath
    Jun 23 2025

    You might have recently come across various social media ads showing people on mats rhythmically panting followed by scenes of them sobbing and receiving emotional support with a gentle hand. Celebrity appeal has popularized this practice, which is part of a mindfulness industry worth billions of dollars. I’m talking about Breath Work - one of the top wellness trends at the moment. This body-based approach is said to release and transform emotional trauma, relieve mental stress and enhance general well-being. Jeyda Deyna is a Breath Work practitioner based in Toronto, and in this extensive interview, she shares her expertise and explains why this popular somatic practice is both healing and transformative.

    Mapping Curiosity
    Jun 16 2025

    Arguably the greatest scientific mind who ever lived, Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” And, iconic musician, David Bowie, once linked his drive to write songs to his “malevolent curiosity.” This inquisitive quality seems to not only spark new ideas and insights but also inspire creativity and growth. But what is curiosity? Why is it central to the human experience? And, why do we sometimes fear it and even block it? These are some of the questions I explore with Lauren Walker, co-author of "The Curiosity Reset - Embrace the Child Within and Discover Your True Path." In this illuminating conversation, Lauren gives us a framework for mapping our own curiosity.

    Seeing Colour Again
    Jun 9 2025

    When it comes to genetics, some might say that Andy Campbell drew the short end of the stick. Born predisposed to cancer-causing mutations to the BRCA1 gene, Andy has seen his mother and all three of his aunts die of breast cancer, and in 2018, he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. As if life wasn’t challenging enough, a few years into his chemo treatment Andy’s youngest son tragically ended his life. Despite his heartbreak, Andy’s faith in God has helped him persevere with his wife and children by his side. Andy has also authored a book called, "Overcoming Life’s Toughest Setbacks - 15 Core Beliefs to Transform Challenge into Opportunities." In this heart-rending and inspirational interview, Andy bravely talks about the impact of losing his son to suicide, shares his personal story through cancer, and he explains how he was able to see the world in colour again.
