I turned 52 last week.

And if I’m being honest, I’ve never really liked celebrating my birthday. Not even as a kid.

Big parties. Being the center of attention. Everyone looking at you while you smile and try to act comfortable…they are my kryptonite. They’ve always felt a little overwhelming to me. Even now, the idea of a big celebration makes my nervous system tighten up.

For most of my life, I’ve preferred something simple. Quiet supper. Good conversation. No production. No spotlight.
This year? Chinese takeout at my parents’ place… because it was familiar, comfortable, safe, and quiet.

As I get older, I’m starting to appreciate something I didn’t always see…Aging, as much as we dislike it, is a gift not everyone gets to experience.

That shift hasn’t erased a lifetime of discomfort for me. Growing up autistic, I often felt different, even if I didn’t have the language for it. Being the center of attention only magnified that feeling.

Add in self-consciousness, grey hair, glasses, and the slow changes in the mirror, birthdays haven’t always felt like a celebration.

But this year, I’m trying to give myself a different kind of gift.
I am going to give myself more grace, practice more self-acceptance, and put less pressure on myself to be someone I am not.

Maybe getting older isn’t about becoming someone new. Maybe it’s about finally making peace with who you’ve always been.

So many leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, and caregivers are quietly carrying overwhelm, self-doubt, and the pressure to “have it all together.”

The spotlight might look different for some - a boardroom instead of a birthday party - but the nervous system response can feel the same.

If your staff or leadership team feels stretched thin, searching for balance, and needing a reset, I offer keynotes and workshops focused on resilience, mental wellness, and sustainable performance.

Sometimes the most powerful shift begins with understanding how we’re wired…and learning to work with it, not against it, when we are feeling stressed and burntout.

02/10/2026

It’s NOT About Saying NO more often!

When I start working with a new client, there’s a moment that almost always shows up early on.

They’ll talk about how pulled they feel. How many people have expectations on their time. How stretched thin they are trying to keep everyone happy…and eventually they’ll say something like:

“I just need to learn to say no more often.”

I get it. On the surface, that feels like the obvious solution, especially if you’re highly sensitive, heart-led, or a people-pleaser by nature like me.

Here’s a reframe that I remind myself of often, and it has helped many of the people I work with.

Think of yes and no like a coin. One side is heads, and the other side is tails. When you see heads, tails haven’t disappeared; it’s just hidden. And when you see tails, heads are still there too.

Now think about yes and no the same way.

For every yes, there is always a no, even if you don’t immediately see it…and for every no, there’s a yes somewhere else.

Here’s the thing most people miss: You’re not struggling because you don’t say “no” enough. You’re struggling because you’re not saying “yes” to yourself enough first.

Every time you say yes to someone else, that yes comes at a cost, and far too often, that cost is you, your energy, your health, your family, your passions, or simply your own nervous system.

This work isn’t about becoming harsher or more rigid with others. It’s about getting clear on what deserves your yes. When you start saying yes to yourself, your capacity, your values and your need for rest and recovery…saying no becomes less dramatic, feels less riddled with guilt, and far more natural.

So here’s a gentle reflection for you this week: Before you say yes to something new, ask yourself what you are saying no to if you do say yes to this.

That one question can quietly change everything.

01/27/2026

There’s something quietly unsettling about standing in front of a departure board at an airport as you head out on a journey. Suitcase at your feet, ticket in hand, and your destination blinking back at you.

Even when the trip is something you desire, people you trust say, “It’s so worth it,” and you’ve planned as best you can.

Leaving something familiar - even something that’s no longer serving you - can feel unnerving. Because comfort, even when it’s limiting, still feels safe.

When we travel somewhere new, our minds start spinning…

Will I fit in?

Will I be able to communicate?

Will I like the pace, the culture, the food, the unknown?

…those same kind of questions show up when the journey isn’t about geography, but about life.

Whether it is a new role, a new boundary, a new chapter in life, or a new version of you, you've likely heard it a hundred times: “This next step is good, totally worth it, and growth lives on the other side.”

The uncertainty can feel paralyzing, but here's what I've learned - all too often the hard way: You don’t need certainty to move forward. You need permission.

Permission to leave behind what’s familiar. Permission to outgrow what once fit. Permission to trust that you’ll figure things out as you go, because you always have.

Every meaningful journey asks us to let go of something. Old patterns. Old stories. Old versions of ourselves that once kept us safe but small.

While we can’t always calm our nerves completely, we can remind ourselves that we are not behind, we are not doing it wrong. We are simply standing at the gate of something new.

So here’s a gentle reflection for you this week:

👉 What’s one thing you might be ready to leave behind, even if it still feels a little uncomfortable to do so?

You don’t need the whole map before you go.

…those same kinds of questions show up when the journey isn’t about geography, but about life.

This past New Year’s Eve, I was lucky enough to be visiting family in Las Vegas.

Standing on the Strip at midnight - surrounded by well over 300,000 people - all looking forward, all hopeful, all carrying dreams into the new year…it was surreal.

And it got me thinking about the annual song and dance we all do.

New year.

New goals.

Fresh excitement.

Big intentions.

Then the quiet question shows up:

Is this really going to be a new year…or is it just going to be another year?

Because here’s an uncomfortable truth I’ve had to face more than once:

If nothing changes, nothing changes.

For years, I’d start January full of motivation, only to feel the shine wear off by February or March. Before I knew it, I was moving through another year that looked a lot like the last.

This year feels different.

Not because I found a better planner or wrote “stronger” goals, but because I spent the latter part of 2025 getting honest about what no longer serves me. Personally. Professionally. Emotionally.

I’m giving myself permission to let go of the past - good, bad, or otherwise - and focus on who I am today and who I want to become.

This year will be all about living more in the present, with more intentional action and patience with myself.

My focus this year is simple:

Do the fundamentals well.

Simple and sustainable beats flashy and exhausting…every time.

I’m curious about you:

👉 What’s one thing you’re giving yourself permission to do as you move into this new year?

Loved my time on this podcast; Thanks for having me Randy!

If you’ve ever thought, “Why is this so hard when I know I’m capable?”...this is for you.

Confidence isn’t built by hustling harder.

It grows from clarity.

When your nervous system is overwhelmed, even good ideas can feel impossible to act on. That’s not a character flaw...it’s a human biology thing.

I help heart-led, often neurodivergent leaders simplify the noise, steady their nervous system, and take consistent action...without burning out.

If you’re curious to explore that in a low-pressure way, book a free clarity call.

Please feel free to DM me anytime!

Be well, and have the best day you can.

Can you relate?

“I know what I want to do…I just can’t seem to silence my inner critic long enough to actually do it.”

I hear this all the time - from leaders, educators, athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals across industries.

And with full transparency? It’s a sentence I’ve said to myself more times than I can count.

Imposter syndrome.

Self-doubt.

Performance pressure.

Paralysis-by-overanalysis.

These don’t magically disappear when you reach a new title, milestone, or stage of your career. In fact, for many people, they get louder.

Here’s what I’ve learned both personally, and through years of speaking to teams and organizations:

Confidence doesn’t come from hustle.

Or hype.

Or pushing harder.

Or a brand-new plan.

It comes from clarity.

Most people aren’t stuck because they lack ability, intelligence, or motivation.

They’re stuck because they’re overwhelmed by too many options, voices, self-imposed expectations, and constant pressure to perform.

Their nervous system is stuck in overdrive, and they’re caught in the familiar start → stop → crash cycle of burnout.

When everything feels possible - good, bad or otherwise - nothing feels safe or doable. Fear and overwhelm quietly take the wheel.

For me, clarity has always been the anchor.

Much like rereading a script before stepping onto a stage.

A simple plan. A clear message. A one-page vision.

Those things give the nervous system something solid to hold onto when everything feels loud or messy.

If you’re newer around here, welcome - and thanks for being here in 2025.

I’m not your typical “mindset guy in a blazer.”

I’m a neurodivergent mental health speaker who brings lived experience, neuroscience, and real-world tools into conversations about leadership, resilience, burnout, and performance.

I speak openly about the cost of pretending to be okay and what actually helps people lead, work, and live more sustainably.

As we close out the year, here’s a gentle reflection:

👉 What’s one area where you, your organization or team might benefit from seeing some clarity in the new year?

If you’re planning a conference, corporate wellness or safety event, leadership retreat, or professional development day, and you’re looking for a keynote or workshop that resonates on a human level...I’d love to connect.

No pitch. No pressure. Just a conversation and some clarity.

Be well, and have the best day you can.

Let’s be honest, asking for help is hard. Like…uncomfortably hard sometimes.

For years, I struggled to ask for help. And if I’m being honest, I still do.

Sometimes it’s not wanting to feel like a burden.

Sometimes it’s that comparative struggle voice whispering, “Other people have it worse, so I shouldn’t complain.”

And sometimes it’s the fear of looking silly, like you’re the only one who didn’t get the instruction manual everyone else seems to have.

But here’s what I’ve learned over time: Every single time I’ve finally asked for help, it’s never been as bad as I imagined.

In fact, reality is almost always kinder than the story I made up in my head.

And when I do reach out - to a coach, mentor, therapist, loved one, or trusted friend - the thing I feel most isn’t weakness or embarrassment. It’s a relief.

Because asking for help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

So if you’re struggling right now and don’t know where to start, here’s a gentle nudge:

You don’t have to fix everything today.

Just take the next right step.

And if that step is asking for help…start there.

One small reach-out can change more than you think.

Looking back at 2025, there’s a moment I keep coming back to.

Five years ago, if you’d told me I’d be sharing stages with people like Pamela Barnum or Gabor Maté - a true giant in the world of mental health and addiction - I honestly wouldn’t have believed you.

Not because I didn’t dream big…but because I didn’t yet understand how much my own journey would shape my work.

Over the past few years, my personal health and wellness journey, and my professional role as a mental health speaker and resiliency coach, have collided in ways I never could have predicted.

Am I done growing? No. Full stop. If anything, I feel like I’m just getting started.

2026 is already shaping up to be uncomfortable, in all the right ways. Bigger stages. Higher-profile events and conferences. Deeper work with large organizations. Conversations that matter.

I’m confident in what I do, but I still find myself awestruck at times by the rooms I’m invited into and the people I get to serve.

My lived experience navigating mental health challenges, neurodivergence, sensitivity, and seasons of real struggle continues to be the vehicle behind my message. It’s what makes my work relatable, honest, and human…especially for those of us who are wired a little differently and lead with heart.

Knowing what I know now, I wish I could go back and tell my younger self: “You don’t know it yet, but you’re going to be okay when you get there.”

Seeing the growing shift in our world toward mental health, wellness, and resiliency in leadership genuinely makes my heart sing. We’re slowly learning to lead like humans again...and that matters.

I’m excited for what’s ahead.

If you or your organization are looking for a health and wellness speaker for professional development days, leadership retreats, or workplace wellness initiatives in 2026, I offer keynotes and workshops designed to help leaders manage their time, energy, and actions in healthier ways, while keeping burnout and self-doubt on the sidelines.

12/16/2025

A common theme I hear from clients - be it coaches, athletes, entrepreneurs, educators, or leaders - sounds like this:

“I know what I want to do…I can’t seem to silence the inner critic long enough to actually do it.”

Imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and performance pressure show up everywhere. Whether you’re walking into a boardroom, a classroom, onto a stage, or into a new season of life, that pressure doesn’t magically disappear.

Here’s something I’ve learned (and lived): Confidence grows in the garden of clarity.

Not hustle.

Not hype.

Not another motivational quote.

Clarity.

Because overwhelm, not ability, is what stalls most people. We live in a world where you can find a million ideas, frameworks, strategies, and opinions in seconds. Everyone has advice. Everyone has a system. Everyone seems to know what you should be doing.

No wonder you feel stuck before you even start.

When everything feels possible, nothing feels doable.

That’s why the first step isn’t perfection, it’s precision. Define your mission, name the goal, and clarify the direction.

Just like I reread a script before stepping on stage, returning to a simple plan or one-page vision gives your nervous system something solid to hold onto when things feel loud, messy, or overwhelming.

Clarity steadies you. It calms the noise and makes action feel lighter, and consistency feel possible.

So this week, try this:

What’s one small thing you can clarify for yourself?

Your next step?

Your definition of “done?”

Your boundaries?

Your priorities?

I’d love to hear what you’re working toward with a little more confidence.

Last month, I had the honour of being part of something truly meaningful!

Over the past few years, I’ve spent countless hours working with competitive athletes and sports teams - both privately and in my role as a Health & Wellness Coordinator with the Medicine Hat College Rattlers.

Last season, while working with a local middle-school girls' team, I first learned about the story of Carter Morris and his tragic passing. Later that year, Carter’s mother - Terri Bell - reached out to see if I wanted to support a new initiative, one designed to close a gap that’s been overlooked for far too long.

That initiative became known as Affect 15, an event created to support youth mental wellness, especially for the small schools and community programs that often don’t have access to the same resources, funding, or support systems as the big programs.

Last week, Affect 15 came to life, and I was honoured to serve as the opening keynote speaker and event host.

The evening rounded out with a special guest speaker Sage Watson - Olympic hurdler, two-time Olympian, and Pan Am Games Champion. Sage shared her journey through sport, adversity, injury, and resilience.

Together, we closed the night with a live Q&A, unpacking what it means to compete, persevere, and grow in today’s world.

Another amazing organization in attendance was Kickstand, which offers free mental health and peer support services for young people across Alberta. They provide a safe place for youth to talk, breathe, relax, and access support...and all at no cost.

The whole evening left me inspired and reflective.

As a young athlete myself, I would have given anything to hear these messages. Growing up undiagnosed, sensitive, masked-up, and anxious…I often felt like a fish out of water. My performance anxiety eventually turned into depression and a deep fear of failure.

Events like this would’ve changed everything for me.

That’s why I’m passionate about this work, not just with youth in sport, but also with corporate groups, nonprofit organizations, and teams wanting to build healthier, more resilient cultures.

When we support people early, compassionately, and consistently...the ripple effects last a lifetime.

Confession time: Christmas is a total love–hate experience for me!

I love the magic of the season; The family time, the memories, the thoughtful gifts, the great food, the cozy moments, the energy of people gathering. That stuff genuinely fills my cup.

But the other side?

The crowded malls. The noise. The unpredictability. The sensory overwhelm. The broken routines. The emotional fatigue.

As a neurodivergent, highly sensitive human, December can feel like someone shook my routine like a snow globe and said, “Good luck, champ.” One minute I’m grounded, the next minute I’m scanning for the nearest exit.

For a long time, I felt guilty about that. How could something so meaningful also feel so exhausting?

Here’s the truth I’ve come to accept:

Christmas can be beautiful and overwhelming.

Joyful and overstimulating.

Meaningful and messy.

Both can be true.

So this year, instead of white-knuckling my way through the season, I’m choosing to support myself through it. Here are the three small things I’m personally committing to:

Three Things I’m Doing to Stay Grounded This Holiday Season

1️⃣ Protect one routine that anchors me.

Not all of them, just one. For me, it’s my morning walks.

2️⃣ Permit myself to leave early.

Leaving isn’t quitting; it’s honouring my capacity. Ironically, when I give myself permission to go… I usually stay longer.

3️⃣ Build in pockets of nothing.

Blank space isn’t laziness; it’s a form of maintenance. Fewer frantic “yeses” = more meaningful ones.

These aren’t about controlling the season as much as they’re about helping myself bend rather than break when things get chaotic.

I'd love to know...What’s one small gift you’re giving yourself this holiday season to help protect your sanity?
