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.

Not Today Death, Life with Chronic Illness Ft. Jeremie Saunders

Very cool episode this week. Today I sit down with a true one of one in the podcasting world, Jeremie Saunders from CBC's Sickboy podcast, to explore his experiences as a man living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. Jeremie shares how he learned of his diagnosis as a child and how it shaped his views on life after learning that he'd be unlikely to see his 35th birthday. He explores the nuances of living life faced with his mortality through the lens of mental health and provides an authentic look into the highs and lows associated with his disease and the subsequent release of a life-saving drug in Trikafta.
