| When Everything Looks Fine, But Life Still Feels Heavy | 10 Mar 2026 | 00:37:22 | |
Support This Podcast and Canadian Men's Health Foundation https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/ The career is steady. The family is healthy. And on paper, life looks exactly the way it’s supposed to. But internally, the weight of carrying it all is starting to feel unsustainable. You might even catch yourself wondering why you feel so exhausted when you have so much to be grateful for. Sometimes life can look fine on the outside and still feel heavy on the inside. In this special live recording of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with broadcaster Chris Gailus, Paralympic gold medalist Greg Stewart, and comedian Toby Hargrave for an honest conversation about the things men don’t usually say out loud. Chris shares how a sudden medical emergency forced him to start paying closer attention to his health. Greg reflects on how tying his identity to achievement left him searching for who he really was. Toby talks about the moment he realized burnout had quietly caught up with him. And Trevor speaks openly about the cost of pretending everything was fine when it wasn’t. What follows is a conversation about the pressure many men feel to hold everything together and what happens when that pressure finally cracks. The discussion moves from the “armor” men wear as providers to the simple but powerful idea of being a lighthouse for the people around them: someone who shows up, stands steady, and listens. In this episode you’ll hear about:
This isn’t a lecture or a self-help formula. It’s a group of men telling the truth about their lives and discovering that honesty might be one of the strongest things a man can do.

| The Hidden Cost of Carrying It Alone | 24 Feb 2026 | 00:35:19 | |
Support This Podcast and Canadian Men's Health Foundation https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/
Grief. Trauma. Pressure to hold it together. The belief that if you slow down or speak up, you’ll fall apart or let someone else down. In this episode, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with former NHL player Bob Wilkie and filmmaker Shayne Putzlocher to talk about the documentary Sideways and the story behind it. At 17, Bob survived the 1986 Swift Current Broncos bus crash that killed four of his teammates. What followed wasn’t just resilience. It was silence. Substance use. Suicidal thoughts. Years of trying to function while carrying more than he knew how to process. The conversation moves beyond the crash. They unpack the belief that “caring” means worrying, stressing, and losing sleep. That if you’re not overwhelmed, you must not care enough. But when stress becomes constant, it doesn’t make you stronger, it just gets heavier. Eventually, that weight shows up somewhere. In your health. In your relationships. In the way you move through your own life. Inside this episode:
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about taking the pack off your back, even for a minute, so you don’t have to carry it alone.

| The Isolation Trap: Why Comfort is Killing Your Connections | 11 Feb 2026 | 00:38:32 | |
Comfort can feel like relief. Staying quiet. Keeping things to yourself. Not risking rejection. For a lot of men, that comfort slowly turns into distance, and then into loneliness. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin talk openly about how isolation becomes a habit long before it becomes a problem. Drawing from their own lives, leadership roles, relationships, and past struggles, they unpack how choosing comfort can quietly cost men the connection they actually want. They explore what happens when men wear masks, manage impressions, or keep people at arm’s length to stay in control. The conversation moves through fear of rejection, the urge to self-isolate, and the belief that independence means handling everything alone. The shift comes when both men name a hard truth: connection doesn’t break when you speak up, it breaks when you disappear. This isn’t about forcing vulnerability or oversharing. It’s about learning to listen, to stay present, and to let yourself be seen without trying to manage the outcome. You’ll hear:
Before they close, Mike and Trevor leave listeners with two simple challenges:
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, even while surrounded by people, this conversation meets you where you are.

| Running on Empty: What Men Get Wrong About Resilience | 27 Jan 2026 | 00:40:00 | |
A lot of men were taught that resilience means pushing through. In this episode, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin slow that story down and take it apart, not as experts looking down, but as men who’ve lived the cost of getting it wrong. Joined by returning guest Dr. David Kuhl, physician, professor, and longtime voice in men’s health, the conversation explores what resilience actually looks like when life brings grief, shame, burnout, or emotional numbness. Drawing from decades of experience in palliative care and trauma-informed work, Dr. Kuhl reframes resilience as a dynamic, relational process shaped by our bodies, our relationships, and the environments we live and work in. Mike shares how unspoken shame followed him years after exiting a business and quietly showed up in his relationship. Trevor reflects on how confusing endurance for resilience led him to self-neglect, substance use, and running himself into the ground. Together, they talk openly about numbness, emotional literacy, and the moment many men reach when “toughing it out” stops working. You’ll hear practical, grounded insights on:
This isn’t about fixing yourself. If you’ve been pushing through, feeling disconnected, or quietly carrying more than you let on, this conversation offers language, perspective, and permission to pause and look again.

| Why Talking Is the Toughest Thing Men Can Do | 13 Jan 2026 | 00:38:52 | |
For a lot of men, staying silent feels like strength. But what if it’s the opposite? In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, Paralympic gold medalist Greg Stewart challenges that belief head-on. In a raw, honest conversation with Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin, Greg explores why silence has become the default for so many men and why talking might be the most courageous act there is. Greg shares his journey from elite sport to emotional burnout, and how learning to talk, ask for help, and sit with discomfort reshaped his sense of identity, resilience, and self-care. The conversation moves through fatherhood fears, intrusive thoughts, masculinity, and the unspoken rules that keep men isolated, even when they’re surrounded by people. You’ll hear:

| From Rage to Relief: How to Pause Before You Explode | 23 Dec 2025 | 00:33:39 | |
A lot of men aren’t “angry guys.” They’re overwhelmed, disconnected, and running out of space to breathe, and it’s catching up with them. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, Gene Bernier, CTO & Don’t Change Much Producer at CMHF, joins hosts Trevor Botkin and Mike Cameron on camera for an honest conversation about anger, men’s mental health, and why reacting isn’t the same thing as responding. Together, they break down how anger shows up in the body, why it’s often the only emotion men were taught to recognize, and how today’s social pressure is amplifying everyday frustration. The conversation moves from the pressures young men are facing today to how anger often masks sadness, fear, or feeling left behind. The turning point isn’t about “controlling” anger. It’s about learning how to pause before it explodes. Not therapy-speak. Not perfection. Just a small, practiced moment that can change the outcome. You’ll hear practical, real-world tools men can use immediately, including:
This episode is about resilience, self-care, and connection. Not fixing yourself and not getting it perfect, just learning how to show up with a little more awareness and a lot less damage.

| How Men Are Healing: Shame, Hope, and the Hard Work of Change | 09 Dec 2025 | 00:36:02 | |
What happens when two men sit down, drop the armour, and tell the truth about who they really are? On this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, we introduce our new co-hosts, Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin—two guys who have lived through rock bottom, rebuilt their lives, and are still doing the work every day. They share the same mission: help men close the gap between who they are and who they want to be. In this raw and hopeful conversation, Mike and Trevor unpack what healing actually looks like for men—navigating shame, asking for help, getting blindsided by grief, and learning to show up as the man you want to be, not the one you’re pretending to be. They share their stories of addiction, trauma, devastating loss, and the life-saving power of connection. What emerges is a powerful reminder that resilience isn’t only about being strong… it’s also about learning to feel again. This isn’t self-help fluff. It’s the hard, uncomfortable, life-changing work of becoming emotionally honest. You’ll hear: If you’ve ever felt stuck, alone, or like you’re not the man you want to be, this conversation is your reminder: healing is possible… and you don’t have to do it on your own.

| The Myth That Helping Men Hurts Women, And What’s Actually True | 19 Nov 2025 | 00:28:27 | |
We've been taught that supporting men's health somehow takes away from supporting women's health. This episode shatters that zero-sum myth, arguing that raising one boat raises all. Host Buzz Bishop is joined by Nicky Dhaliwal (Canadian Men's Health Foundation), Mike Cameron (Connected Men), and Clair Davis (Midlife Mentors) to discuss why men's health is family health. The group gets honest about what they’re seeing in homes, workplaces, and communities: women feeling judged for supporting men; men afraid of mentoring after #MeToo; and young men experiencing anger at nearly double the national rate. They dive into startling CMHF research showing 50% of young men (19–29) are at risk of problem anger and violent impulses. The key to breaking this cycle and building resilience?

| What Hockey Didn’t Teach Trevor Linden About Men’s Health | 23 Sep 2025 | 00:29:38 | |
What happens when the habits that make you successful in sports don’t work in life? As a teenager, Trevor Linden was drafted second overall by the Vancouver Canucks. By 21, he was the team captain. The mindset that drove him to push harder, never showing weakness, left him carrying a weight many men know too well: suffering in silence. In this candid conversation with host Dan Murphy, Trevor shares the lessons hockey didn’t teach him: the power of connection, the guidance of mentors, and why caring for your mental and physical health is not optional. Whether you’re chasing goals at work, raising a family, or just trying to feel your best, Trevor’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to make small, meaningful changes—and that real strength comes from taking care of yourself and those who count on you.

| From Breaking Point to Brotherhood in the Trades: Men Confront Suicide, Survival & Hope | 10 Sep 2025 | 00:41:15 | |
For many men in the trades, work is more than a job; it’s an identity. But the weight of long hours, money stress, and pressure to “be strong” can become overwhelming, with devastating consequences. In this raw and deeply human episode, host Buzz Bishop sits down with Trevor Botkin (The FORGE), Andrew Perez (Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention), and two men - Mitch Orton and Rob Saloman - who lost a brother or son who worked in the trades. Together, they break the silence around pressure, identity, and the weight of “being the tough guy.” What unfolds is a conversation about survival, brotherhood, and change. From lived experience to national advocacy, each voice shows that while the crisis is real, so is the possibility of hope. You’ll come away with: This is not just about suicide prevention. It’s about building stronger connections, redefining strength, and reminding every man: you are not alone.

| How a Cross-Canada Run is Sparking Deep Conversations | 05 Aug 2025 | 00:47:28 | |
Real change starts with real conversations. When Sachin Latti and Glen Ivan set out to cross Canada, they didn’t expect the most powerful part of the journey to happen between the steps—in honest, off-the-cuff conversations with strangers. In this episode, Canadian Men's Health Foundation’s CEO, Kenton Boston, welcomes them back to the podcast, joined by Dr. David Kuhl, to reflect on what these moments are teaching them. From roadside chats to quiet community meetups, it’s clear: the people they meet aren’t looking for advice—they’re looking for connection. Together, they explore why openness matters, how simply “going first” gives others permission to speak up, and why creating space for these conversations may be the most powerful tool we have for men’s mental health.

| When The Strong Are Struggling: Farming and Mental Health in Canada | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:33:49 | |
Suicidal ideation among Canadian farmers is nearly twice as high as in the general population. Farming is more than a job, it’s a way of life. But the same pride and resilience that keep farms running can make it hard to ask for help when things start to fall apart.

As part of the Canadian Centre for Agricultural Wellbeing, Chad supports farmers across the country offering insight into what stress looks like behind the scenes and how to recognize the signs before it’s too late.

| He Was Divorced, Depressed, and Alone. Then He Started Running | 03 Jun 2025 | 00:31:12 | |
How do you rebuild when everything falls apart? With no access to the gym or jiu-jitsu—his go-to outlets for mental health—he turned to something he’d always hated: running. What started as short, painful jogs just to stay sane slowly became a daily ritual that helped him begin to heal. Now, Sachin is preparing to run across Canada to raise awareness for the mental health of veterans, first responders, and men like him. In this episode, he shares the mindset shifts, small daily changes, and hard-earned lessons that helped him turn pain into purpose.
