We share our struggles not for sympathy but for strength and hope. When we are honest and open about the challenges in our lives we shine light on the dark. We gently remind others that we are all facing a private struggle. We become a symbol of hope for those who believe they are the only ones in pain/fear. I believe that if you are a person who pushes forward and decides to live a happy life...

I travel on Vancouver transit every single day and live in an industrial neighborhood. Our closest woodsy area is a 15 min drive away. Living in the “mental and electric chatter” of a city can make a person miserable. This effect is multiplied by our modern culture of multiple social media platforms, easy access to music, unlimited “in the moment” news, wifi, 3G,...

The weather this week has been dark and drizzly here in Vancouver so I took full advantage and started with creating some Fall recipes. First up – my Healthy Chocolate Fudge Oat Bars. I’m really sad to see Summer go this year but at the same time Fall always brings a refreshed and exciting energy. You can expect to see lots of baking, root vegetables, pumpkin, caramel, apples and...

Who doesn’t know someone suffering with depression? At some point in life most people go through it (especially the more mild version). Like most mental/emotional disturbance there are a range of causes and different levels of severity. The effectiveness of conventional treatments (SSRIs are the most used drug) is considered to be “not statistically significant” in mild and moderate depression...

There is only one way to set your day up for success. There is only one way to ensure you get the start you need to feel good, be present and enjoy your day. That is to create and practice your ultimate morning routine. We have learned this the hard way here at DAMY. As two type A personalities with a passionate drive for success and obsessive tendencies we have occasionally reverted to morning...

Worry, doubt, fear, disappointment, uncertainty, loneliness and so many other emotions are the cause of what I believe to be the modern world’s most misunderstood, most broad, common, serious, debilitating condition/symptom/circumstance – a state of anxiety. If you have ever suffered from anxiety you know it’s debilitating, frustrating, unwanted symptoms. From emotional turmoil to low mood...

Having gratitude for the journey helps you realize how strong you really are. Looking back on the most significant, stressful, strenuous challenges in our lives has been one of the most freeing experiences we have had. We have had ups and downs, have felt exhausted and worn out. We have had to recharge, start over, re-group, slow down and re-organize our lives/situations multiple times. Each...

Renewing my passport has been a truly eye opening experience. I am aware of how much better my life feels everyday but this was kind of shocking to see. On the left is my picture from 7 years ago. I was 24, miserable, 30 pounds heavier, smoking on the weekends, suffering from self-hate, negative relationships, feeling trapped in a career I began to resent, was suffering with terrible acne and on...

Lately I have received an abundance of emails asking about how to live a more abundant, purpose-filled, content life. Many of these questions have actually come from people that have known me throughout my life journey from self-abuse to self-love. Below is a response to such an inquiry that I received this week. If you are looking to get on the path of self-realization, attract a healthy...
