    The Art of Not Losing Yourself

    In Episode 3 of Thrive, we’re joined by Tim Neubauer, Community Network Development Specialist at the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), to explore simple, practical ways to care for ourselves during and after work. From small daily habits to meaningful lifestyle changes, Tim shares how prioritizing our own well-being can help us show up with greater clarity, compassion, and strength — for our residents, for our colleagues, and, most importantly, for ourselves. Because caring for others starts with caring for ourselves. Watch Episode 3 of Thrive and discover small ways to make a meaningful difference in your everyday well-being. #OptimaLiving #Thrive #MentalWellness #SelfCare #SeniorLiving

    Diet and Nutrition

    Today’s guest is Colleen Little, Holistic Nutritionist and Personal Trainer. With almost 30 years of experience in the health industry, she began her career in rehabilitation as an Occupational Therapist, then worked as a Personal Trainer, and has spent the past 10 years as a Nutritionist. She truly believes in taking care of health through food and movement and does her best to practice this daily. Through her own journey, she has realized how much self-image and mindset are required to make the behavioural shifts necessary to reach personal goals. She provides suggestions to help clients best meet their dietary needs while helping them develop the mindset needed to make lasting change. Website: www.colleenlittle.ca “There is absolutely no division between food and mood.” It’s a powerful idea, and one that speaks to the profound impact nutrition can have on our energy, resilience, and overall well-being. Following the launch of the Thrive Podcast last month, we’re continuing the conversation with Episode 2, Diet and Nutrition. Colleen Little, Holistic Nutritionist, joins Simran Sandhu, Optima Living’s Manager, HR Partnerships & Programs, to explore the connection between nutrition and mental health.
