LIMELIGHT PODCAST

I had never really looked into sound baths before, let alone plan to attend one in person.

Although David Hickey of @crystaljourneyman doesn't like to call them sound baths, they are definitely not your average concert.

The gongs and crystal bowls make specific frequencies of sound and in my personal experience, there is some sort of therapeutic effect.

In our previous episode with Dr. Valorie Masuda, she shares that t...

In loving memory of Thomas Hartle, who left us one year ago today, on August 13th.

When I first spoke with Dr. Valorie Masuda in 2022, I had this conversation with Thomas not long after.

After releasing our recent podcasts from the (first) doctor's perspective of psilocybin assisted therapy for end of life distress, it's only right we share the first patient's experience.

Thomas was so open and vulnerable that...

This is part 2 of our chat with Dr. Valorie Masuda who shares more details on how our current healthcare system in Canada works, and how it's not supporting "health" but rather supporting pharmaceutical companies.

Some of this information was quite surprising to us, including how she quit chemotherapy practice because of her own ethical dilemma. Not many patients are given a choice about living their last days how ...

This episode is the most important one we've released thus far. It's been one we've had in mind before we even started Limelight.

Mental health is the most important issue we're facing in the first world and there are many people suffering and coping in different ways.

In the Vancouver area, yes we have an opioid crisis but really, it's a mental health crisis at its core.

Psychedelic compounds such as Psilocybin have the ...

This is part 2 of our conversation with my cousin sister, Taran Bhela, a make up artist in the Greater Toronto Area, known as @beautybybhela.

Getting popular online comes up with many positives; it's why so many people get into it, however not many people talk about the other side of it where it can be dark and creepy.

Taran isn't a celebrity by any means, however, she's had some interesting experiences, particularly a man who follow...

Let's set the record straight, my sister is not dating Sukha. This is a fun episode with my cousin sister who's blown up social media.

She was in a couple reels with Sukha, the Punjabi singer, and right away everyone thought they were dating. Not just random people, even our own family. Sukha's a great artist and I'm proud of how he's growing as a great artist and Preeti ( ⁨@Beautybybhela⁩ ) for collobarating with him.

In part 1 (of ...

In this episode we go over what some will call a big upset for the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC), and an incredible come back win for the Liberal Party of Canada (LPC).

We are not a political podcast and we are sharing our own real life perspective, outside of just the internet, of why the results ended up the way they did.

The three of us have our own perspectives that shape who we voted for, and the truth is, we have p...

In this episode we bring on a very talented guest, Jugpreet (Juggy) Bajwa, who's been on reality shows, won awards, sang anthems at NHL games for the Vancouver Canucks, and has also released music of his own.

There's a lot we can learn about our senses and how we perceive the world. Us being able-bodied, we take for granted a lot of the time that we have all our senses and abilities, however, as Juggy shares with us, often we forget...

This episode was definitely the most difficult one I've ever had to edit. So difficult in fact, that this was filmed over a year ago and I avoided rewatching it until now.

Tamara O'Brien is an incredible human and I'm so glad I had the privilege of getting to know her, and so grateful for the impact she had on my life, and so many others.

There is only one other person I have ever met that matched Tamara's spi...

Influencers are out of control. The desire to go viral far exceeds the need to be moral with content. People will say anything to go viral these days.

We react to some of the lowest IQ podcast moments, but before we do, we also go over how some influencers have actually provided value for us growing up.

There’s a lot of good content to learn from online, it’s sadly just hidden because it usually doesn’t go viral.

Deciphering what’s go...

For the past two years I've been training my Jack Russell Terrier to be a professional athlete, competing on a NAFA Flyball team called the "Flying Squad."

When I tell people my dog is an athlete, majority of people are surprised, but then assume it's agility (like SuperDogs at PNE and other fairs across North America). 

When I mention it's Flyball, people usually give a confused stare. So in this episode I answer all the bas...

There's a lot of talk these days about Canada being the 51st state. Us, along with majority of Canadians are against it, people are only really looking at it from the surface level without thinking about the many changes that would occur for both countries.

The U.S. may think that Canada is making their country less safe, but the data shows otherwise when it comes to the risks Canadians would face if we became the 51st state.

This episode was filmed early January 2025 while the fires were still burning.

Our hearts go out to anyone that was effected by the fires.

We aren't seeing a lot of talk about the actions that were taken prior to this tragedy, and lack thereof. People are quick to jump to conclusions and we aren't saying we know all the facts.

Growing up with ADHD has been a wild ride. Especially for Mindy.

We share our personal stories of growing up with ADHD, handling it in adulthood, and what it was like trying Vyvanse and Adderall.

We learned some interesting details around how having ADHD can get you into a lot of trouble if you don't get diagnosed. In Mindy's case, his life could have been completely different he had been diagnosed and medicated at a younger age. We ...

In this short episode we discuss how Mindy went from a life of crime, to spending time in prison, to now working with RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) to educate youth about how living the so-called "gangster" life is not what it's made out to be.

Canada has changed a lot this decade, but so has the population.

We bring back Mindy, who had to take a 1 year hiatus away from the podcast but is back for good this time.

Look, we may all be born in Canada but our families immigrated here.

Immigration is not only good for the country but necessary, howeve...

If you're dealing with stalking, you're not alone.

In this episode, we'll show you the undeniable evidence my stalker left everywhere. Stalking is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.

Okay, look. This wasn't something we thought we would share, however, instances like these are extremely under reported (involving female stalkers) and since our podcast is about bringing important topics into the limelight, we felt it was important t...
