Mental health isn't just mental illness, it's in everything we do. There are ups and downs, it's beautiful and messy, and at the end of the day, life's a wreck. Thing is, that wreck is what makes us 'US' and isn't that worth celebrating? A layered and rich wreck of emotions, nuance and stories, all culminating in very human experiences. We believe that conversations surrounding mental health deserve to leave the tall shadow of stigma and have their moment in the limelight. Life's a Wreck aims to be a museum of mental health, a parlour to the people, a place to celebrate all things mental, curating the stories of others and examining a world hidden behind stigma with a joyous curiosity and passion for storytelling. Join Kyle Moore around our proverbial campfire to share stories about the world we live in looked at through the lens of mental health. This is Life's a Wreck.

    Ep85: Building through Authenticity Ft. Mid-Day Squares Co-Fouder Jake Karls

    Ep85: Building through Authenticity Ft. Mid-Day Squares Co-Fouder Jake Karls

    Authenticity, what a can of worms. A beautiful gift of self acceptance, an appreciation of the wreck that you are and something that we for some reason forgo in the face of formality. Since working for a startup accelerator I've been privy to an entrepreneurial mindset of needing to build at the sake of authenticity. Be what you think an employer or partner wants you to be, hide your personality for the sake of your venture, "I aM a BuSInESS pErSoN." The examples go on and on and what I find so funny is that the advice from some of the most successful people I know contradicts the need to hide your authentic self. Building through authenticity is a way to avoid burnout, incorporate more fun into your day-to-day, and avoid creating something that doesn't serve your purpose. Our guest today is a fantastic example of this. Join Mid-Day Squares CoFounder, Rain Maker, Dancing Machine, Hype Man and Public Speaker Jake Karls and I as we explore Jake's entrepreneurial journey, talk mental health, and dive into the beautifully deep waters of authenticity.

    Ep84: Stacking Wins and Failing to Success Ft. Max Browne

    Ep84: Stacking Wins and Failing to Success Ft. Max Browne

    Gratitude is a powerful facilitator of wellness. It also helps us grow and learn from moments where we fall short or stumble along our journeys. Today on Life's a Wreck, I sit down with content creator and former #1 football recruit in all of America, Max Browne, to celebrate failure, the power of a growth mindset and identity. Our conversation has something for everyone but make sure to share with an athlete in your life. Max's wisdom is something every young person who dreams of competing at a high level should listen to. Oh, how wonderful it is to fail.

    Ep83: Canada, Let's Get Connected! Ft. GenWell Founder Pete Bombaci

    Ep83: Canada, Let's Get Connected! Ft. GenWell Founder Pete Bombaci

    When I mention "health," what comes to mind? The terms "physical health" or "mental health" ( I mean, you're listening to a mental health podcast, so I can imagine that one might pop up quite quickly) hitting the gym, eating well, doctors? Great words, but I'm curious: did the terms "social, connections or relationships" cross your mind? Often overlooked, studies have shown time and again that one of the most important overall contributors to general wellness, regardless of nationality, background and lifestyle, is the quality of the relationships in our lives. We take care of our physical health and our mental health, but so many of us don't think twice about our social health. That's something today's guest is trying to change. Founder of the GenWell Project, Canada's human connection movement, Pete Bombaci, joins me today to talk about the importance of connecting as a means to maintain and elevate our sense of wellness.

    Ep82: Exploring The Transformative Potential of Magic Mushrooms Ft. Creator and BBCAN Alumni Adam Pike

    Ep82: Exploring The Transformative Potential of Magic Mushrooms Ft. Creator and BBCAN Alumni Adam Pike

    Happy Friday Wrecks! What do you get when you bring together two men from the Maritimes, who both create wellness content, have competed on Big Brother and are interested in the potential power of magic mushrooms? You get on hell of an episode. Adam Pike joins me this week to talk about his transition from working in the oil fields of western Canada to becoming a content creator advocating that holistic wellness is for everyone and betterment is achievable every day through accountability and the help of nature. Adam is an avid believer in the power of micro-dosing psilocybin and credits the use of magic mushrooms with various shifts in his mindset that have led to a deeper sense of self and overall wellness. Having a few east coast men, who have shared similar experiences, sit down to talk about the transformations they've gone through as individuals will always be really special to me. Kick back, relax and enjoy it because life's a wreck.

    Although we explore positive experiences we've had with psychedelics during this episode, Life's a Wreck does not endorse using any psychedelic substance.

    Ep81: Advocating For What's Right Regardless of The Cost Ft. Podcaster Joel Kaskinen

    Happy Friday Wrecks! Hope you've been doing well. This has been a very tough year for many people in Nova Scotia and after the floods we experienced these past few weeks, I wanted to send some love to all those affected. If you're looking for some local recovery resources and mental health support, check out the link below:

    This week on the podcast, I'm joined by my friend Joel Kaskinen who has supported me and the podcast since our early days and someone I'm very fortunate to have crossed paths with throughout my mental health journey. An advocate and podcaster himself himself, Joel uses his background in communications and community building to advocate for mental healthcare, suicide and gun violence prevention, and other social rights. During our conversation, we talked about the nuances of advocacy and Joel shares his experience with the cost that advocacy can have. A great conversation with a great person so make sure to kick back and relax and enjoy the ep!

My favorite mental health podcast

As a fellow mental health podcaster and someone who struggles with my own mental health, it’s so nice to see another man out there breaking down the stigma and having tough conversations about mental health.

Kyle’s a Wreck

The host of this podcast, Kyle Moore, is a self-righteous, condescending, insecure human being who should not be providing any mental health advice until he sweeps his own porch. The way in which he spoke to and about his houseguests (especially towards a Black woman) makes me question if he practices what he preaches in this podcast.

Kyle breaks down the stigma

Kyle brings a valuable voice to the unrepresented world of male mental health, but his podcast isn’t just relatable for guys. He tackles topics that many can relate to and the episodes are both engaging and thought provoking with content presented in a user friendly, conversational way. He discusses important things such as confidence, therapy, addiction, masculinity, OCD and anxiety, maintaining a healthy life balance, careers, medications, love, the stigma of talking about mental health on a college campus, and more. Life’s a Wreck is a great addition to anyone’s podcast listening schedule interested in talking about what people are too afraid to talk about.
