There is a difference between having time to relax and actually being able to settle.

This morning, Mariam Serkal and Greg Moulton welcome Dr Julie Gowthorpe RSW to Studio 97 and talk about burnout sneaking up on you during the summer.

Burnout does not always look like falling apart. High-functioning burnout can look like a clean house, full calendar, successful career and someone who never misses a deadline. On the outside, everything looks fine.

Inside, everything feels harder than it should.

The St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store will be hosting a fundraising fashion show on October 24.

Today, Greg Moulton, Mariam Serkal and Dr Julie Gowthorpe RSW talk about oversharing: why people do it, how to stop, and how to respond when someone gives you far more information than you expected.

People overshare often because they’re trying to connect. They may feel lonely, nervous, or worried they won’t be liked. Some people also hate silence. A pause happens, they panic, and suddenly they’re explaining the worst year of their life.

And when it come to social media, never post something when you’re emotional.

Enjoy a pancake breakfast each day starting at 9 am, a sidewalk sale and artisan vendors, live music and entertainment, dragon boat races on Saturday and fireworks on Friday at dusk.

This morning, Sean Kelly, Mariam Serkal and Dr Julie Gowthorpe RSW talk about how to stop irritability from wrecking your summer.

Common triggers include environmental noise, clutter, and time pressure. But interpersonal triggers, like being interrupted or feeling dismissed, those are the ones that challenge our sense of respect and control. Like lack of accountability. These are common triggers but irritation reveals what we value.

If you are in a line up and irritated, take a deep breathe or name five things you can see. Mindfulness interrupts the emotional chain reaction. Ask yourself, ‘Is this worth the energy?’

Sean Kelly chatted with Kathy Early, from the Cat Show, who explained that you do not need a pedigreed show cat to participate.

Date: July 11–12

The soccer tournament is now inches away from the quarter-finals, and Justin Ghent breaks it all down for you with the MIX Morning Crew.

LISTEN:

This week, Sean Kelly, Mariam Serkal and Dr Julie Gowthorpe RSW talk about the difference between being polite and being passive.

Canadians really do have a reputation around the world for being polite. We hold doors. We say “sorry” when someone bumps into us.

But we have to be careful with stereotypes. Canada is regional, multicultural, and diverse. Someone in downtown Toronto, rural Nova Scotia, northern Ontario, and Vancouver may all communicate differently.

But as a national habit, we do seem to value friendliness, modesty, and not making a scene. That can be a strength. It can also become a problem when being “nice” means never saying what we actually think or need.
