IN-TE-GREATNESS with Jason and Jolene

Eyes On Your Own Work There, Super Chief

We've all been rejected at some point, be it romantically or by a friend, for a job, or when we're young and trying out for a place on a team. And no matter how many times we're rejected, it never gets easier. Our difficulty with rejection stems from untreated childhood trauma, and is often piggybacked with fears of abandonment. Jason and Jolene share their rejection stories and fears, and the thought that being rejected says less about you, and more about the person doing the rejecting.

If You Have A Problem With the Majestic Canadian Goose, Then You Have A Problem With Me

Because there was so much to share and discuss on the subject of satisfaction, and how important it is for one's sense of self worth, Jason and Jolene return with the second part of their discussion on, well, satisfaction. The episode includes a little tune from Mick Jagger!

Your Sister Is Hot, Wayne. There, I said It. I regret Nothing.

Just how satisfied are you in life? On a scale of one to ten, where does your satisfaction rate in your job, your relationships, your body image... the whole nine yards? And how does social media, and media in general, make you feel about yourself? Jason and Jolene have a lot to say about satisfaction on this, the first of a two-part episode on the subject.

Looking For Love Over the Rainbow Now, Are We Dorothy?

It's Valentine's Day! That most romantic of days when people express their true, undying love for each other. But should such displays of affection be limited to just one day? And what harm can be caused by putting so much pressure on someone to be romantic on such a day as this? Of course, Jason and Jolene have more than a few thoughts on the subject...

What’s the Nature of That, David Suzuki?

We've all felt it; the little pang that makes us yearn for the good ole' days. Or the feeling that takes us back to the glory days of high school (if they were glorious, that is). Whether or not we want to admit it, we all get a little nostalgic at times. And that's A-OK. On today's episode, Jason and Jolene discuss their experiences with nostalgia, how it can be a way to heal your inner child, and the danger of becoming trapped in it.

Is That What You Appreciate About Me?

An episode or two back Jolene mentioned her New Year's intention was to form stronger connections with others, be they professionally, romantically, or otherwise. On this episode, Jason checks in on her connection journey in a discussion that explores what true connections are, and why they are important.

Let’s Go Easy Over There, Squirrelly Dan

Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chromic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one's job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job. But did you know that burn-out can result from interpersonal relationships as well? On this episode, Jason and Jolene discuss their own professional and personal burn-out experiences, and offer advice on how to overcome and even avoid it.

It’s Always OK to Fart When You’re Alone. Except When You’re In Elevators. That’s Uncouth

As hinted at last episode, it's time to talk about the people in your life. These people are reflective of who you are. Much like the clutter in your house, some times these people overstay their welcome. On this episode, Jason and Jolene provide guidance to those who might be second guessing some of the relationships they are in, be they romantic or otherwise.

It's a new year, which means it's time to get cracking on those New Year's resolutions! Or is it? Jason and Jolene share why maybe it's best to go with some intentions for the year instead, and offer some other ways to get yourself aligned mentally, spiritually and physically for the year ahead.
