“There are friends for a season, friends for a reason, and friends for life… I had to let a lot of stuff go.”
— Paul Richardson
Sometimes you need to fake it till you make it — even when it comes to self care. Often, practice is required in order to receive the full benefits of your mental health tools.
This episode of the Living Jewishly Podcasts is an instalment of What’s in Your Toolbox?, a podcast about mental health and the tools that help us to heal and cope. In this episode, host Bobby K sits down with wealth manager Paul Richardson to talk about his mental health journey, including his time at the Homewood Health Centre and what it taught him. Tune in for a conversation about identifying mental health struggles, putting the work into meditation and mindfulness, the benefits of vision boards, and the difference between freestyle skiing and racing.
This episode marks the end of the first year of What’s in Your Toolbox?, and we thank you for listening! Subscribe now to never miss an episode of Living Jewishly’s rich roster of podcasts.
“Before I went to the Homewood, I would get really, really uptight and angry. I wasn’t fully aware of the degree of anger and tension I was suffering, because I didn’t know any different.”
— Paul Richardson
