Start Times and Segments:

[0:00:35] What’s On Your Mind: Following up on the Episode 94 chat, Elise and Julie continue with a list of acts of kindness. It includes things like giving up your seat to an elderly, disabled or pregnant person, let someone jump the line at the grocery store, help someone who is lost and more.

[0:10:12] Expanding Minds Interview: [Physical Wellness] We chat with Andrea Lee about food prep.⁠ Nutrition is a very important part of physical wellness. It’s well worth it to take time to do food prep to enhance your chances of eating well. Andrea talks about mass prep and meal kits. If we go to the grocery store and plan ahead, we can make a meal in less time it takes to get food delivered. It’s much healthier than take-out. Andrea sees it as a relationship. You want to have a healthy relationship with food, which requires flexibility – give and take. There will be ups and downs. You don’t need to be perfect all the time. You continue to work to fix that relationship.

[0:31:20] Adventures of the Starving Artist: Cameron saw a rehearsal at the National Arts Centre. The musicians performed amazingly and he was blown away by the talent and passion of Ray Chen on violin.

[0:35:25] Move That Body: Sheila found an article about avoiding common gym injuries. We talk about some – avoiding blister and calluses, muscle strains and lower back pain.

[0:41:19] Running Popup: John is grateful for two words, which keep him from giving up when things aren’t going his way –“Starting Now”.

[0:43:07] Flipside of the Coin: Stephen’s family has a love for food. It’s a big part of family life and get togethers.
