Page 19: Going For “It”
We swap out one Jon for another with our first ever guest to be interviewed in The Manual - John Bestfather. A paramedic, athlete, filmmaker, and summiteer of Canada’s tallest peak - Mount Logan. We chat about how his documentary “Logan” came to fruition, the “lilly pad” analogy of taking a leap...

Page 18: The Wim Hof Method
If there was ever a real life cheat code similar to the star for Mario, The Wim Hof Method is it. In this episode we discuss “The Ice Man” and his breathing/cold exposure method. The breath is the door, and we can actively and consciously take control of our entire system through this door. Wim…

Page 17: Changing Bodies
We share some exciting news and update you on why Jenna’s body is changing… For many women the first time through pregnancy can be the first instance where they feel completely out of control of their body. This feeling of uncertainty in our body is one that we will all face one day, whether it’s...

Page 16: Pain For Pleasure
We're not neuroscientists. We're not psychologists. And we're certainly not heads of state. But one thing we can confidently say that we are, is deeply concerned with how we as humans are interacting with our phones and addictive technologies. In this episode we once again dive into the buzzword...

Page 15: How To Make A Change
Returning after a two month break, we fill you in on some of the reasons why and what we have in store for the new year. We describe what Jon's definition of a coaching session is and what it entails. As well as some of the recurring themes he's noticing in clientele. In this episode we also…

Page 14: Love...and Marriage
If you've ever asked yourself the question "Is the juice really worth the squeeze?", then this episode could help you reach your conclusion. We are not oblivious to the stat that over 50% of marriages end in divorce, and that those are just the ones that actually file instead of just staying...
-
Page 13: No One Cares How Much You Know…
…Until they know how much you care. In this episode we take some time to reintroduce ourselves and share a little bit about why we do what we do. We discuss the importance of storytelling when trying to deliver information (thank you for allowing us to practice *our* storytelling) and throw in a...

Page 12: Finding Your Physical Outlet
Forcing ourselves to do an exercise routine we hate may be great for improving our mental strength and our resolve…but in this episode we ask you to consider finding a physical activity that you actually enjoy and one that meets all six of your human needs. We also provide an update to our...
-
Page 11: Be Curious In Your Blindspots
If Page 9 made you squirm then to quote Home Alone 2… “It ain’t much better in here kid.” In this episode we (some of us more reluctantly) discuss our phone usages and some of the behaviours we notice in ourselves when it comes to technological distractions. We cover how certain social media...

Page 10: Burnout
Over these past few years the word “burnout” has appeared in the news and headlines more times than we can count. During the pandemic and even still today it seems like more and more industries and workplaces are experiencing problems with staffing, productivity, and the mental health of…

Page 9: Sitting Still & Breathing
Public speaking, death, and meditation - Three of the most feared and evaded topics in our society. Meditation is a word that we all put our own meanings to, and something that we can be so quick to dismiss and keep in our blindspots. In this episode we ask each other what our exact definition of...
-
Page 8: Introduction To The Vessel
We start the first of what will be many future episodes covering how to treat, maintain, and think about our physical health and well-being. In this page we discuss what each of us thinks of when asked the questions "What do you want out of your body?" and "What does the ideal aging process look...
-
Page 7: Our Guts
In this episode we shine a mere flashlight on the vastness of the microbiome of the human gut. In a world full of ever-evolving knowledge and information, understanding and taking ownership of our gut health can make us feel like a ship without a lighthouse. We hope this episode helps steer you…

Page 6: Romantic Relationship Resources
Love Languages, Meadow Reports, Power of Pauses…These are all just terms and phrases that could be downplayed and disregarded. But if really listened to and applied, these pieces of information can transform and improve your romantic relationship like no other.
-
Page 5: Death & Dying
We avoid thinking about it. It’s uncomfortable to talk about. But like anything, it gets easier the more you think about it, visualize it, and talk about it. Have a listen to normalize the conversation around end of life.
-
Page 4: Emotions Don’t Come To Us….We Go To Them
In our longest in-depth conversation to date, we start off with “floating” and how sensory deprivation tanks have helped us throughout the years. Next we recap the Six Human Needs Model and jump into how we use emotions to meet these needs. Specifically we reference feelings of anxiety, anger,...
-
Page 3: The Words We Speak
Communication is about more than just the words and vocabulary you use. BUT in this episode we focus on the power (both destructive and constructive) of the words you use and the questions you ask.
-
Page 2: Travelling Well
We dive into the mindsets around vacation and travelling. How to enjoy your time away from home, and how to enjoy it when you return.
