STAND UP! Mental Health, Resiliency, and Music.
Welcome to STAND UP! This is a mental health, resilience, and personal growth podcast from Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. This show is about stress management, mental wellness, burnout recovery, and learning how to stand up for what you believe in. Plus this is the only podcast where you’ll hear an amazing indie band every episode.
Listen to real-life stories about resilience, mental health, and overcoming life’s challenges while learning practical ways to stay positive, cope with stress, and help others in your community.
In each episode, I interview professionals and community leaders from Greater Vancouver and across British Columbia who specialize in their field. They share inspiring stories, expert insights, and real-life experiences about mental health, self-improvement, resilience, and community leadership.
As the host of the podcast, I bring a unique perspective after nearly twenty years working as a frontline paramedic, where I’ve seen firsthand the importance of first responder mental health, stress management, and supporting others through difficult times.
This is a family-run podcast. My children and I create our own “Wayne’s World”-style commercials that are silly and fun. Each episode features a captivating conversation and an indie music track at the end of the show.
Come take a listen — it’s like sitting with a friend in a coffee shop on a sunny afternoon, talking about life, challenges, and ways we can make the world a little better.
If you have an idea about how to improve life in your community, or know someone with an inspiring story about mental health, resilience, or helping others, reach out to me on Facebook.
Enjoy the show. ☺️🇨🇦
