Movember Monday With John Collinson

We can all take action to live healthier, happier and longer lives.

Did you know that men die on average six years earlier than women, and for reasons that are largely preventable? Which means that it doesn’t have to be that way.

The Movember movement was started 18 years ago, to “change the face” of men’s health and help men live happier, healthier, longer lives.

This Movember, the Empowered in My Skin podcast, is opening up the conversation around Men’s Health. Our goal is to help unpack what it means and how it feels to struggle and grapple with the idea of masculinity and take a deeper dive into the root of common men’s health and mental health issues.

In this episode, John Colinson shares his personal story of his health journey. John is an experienced Technology Executive at one of Canada's leading financial institutions.

During this pandemic season, while looking at his watch one day, John noticed that he was only getting in 2000 steps. Quickly realizing this was not enough, he laced up his sneakers, looked at how he can improve his food consumption, and took matters into his own hands.

He started with small steps, and made small improvements over time. As you learn about his journey, you will quickly see the power that lies within all of us when we commit to our health with a level of consistency that has no bounds.

We also get John to share about his journey to vulnerability and what that has meant for him. You will quickly learn that vulnerability helps us with being a well human. We love the simple life philosophy that John shares, and we know that you will to.

About the Podcast

The Empowered in My Skin Podcast
A podcast designed to help humans everywhere think in ways that is empowering.
This Podcast is all about helping humans think in ways that is empowering. Empowered humans, empower humans and our goal at Empowered in My Skin is to help develop one billion humans who are lead dominos for empowerment. Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, etc., everyone deserves to be empowered in the skin that they are in.

Empowered humans are thriving humans. It is our birthright to thrive. When we own our thrive, we are operating from a position of empowerment, and celebrating life in the present moment without fear. It is human nature to feel uncertain, but why does it have to take us away from our thrive, our creativity, and throw us off balance? 

If we can recognize that being empowered is us choosing to accept all that is, then we have the ability to step into clarity and live in the present moment. Our "now" is all that we have and where our infinite empowered energy resides.
