Paqs | Committing to Life

This week, I chat with Phil Paquette or Paqs, whom many may know as half of the brother duo who completed and won the Canadian reality TV show, Big Brother. But Phil is SO much more than that as he has had a roller-coaster of a life journey with some defining moments that have shaped who he is today. Some of these moments include no longer being able to play a sport he was passionate about, hockey, due to brain injuries; ending a relationship that meant a lot to him; as well as the unfortunate passing of his best-friend and having to cope with the weight that has had on his mental well-being.     What struck me about Paqs’ journey is his self-awareness and ability to pull himself out of a horrible headspace. As he likes to put it, he chose to “commit to life,” even in the darkest moments when contemplating otherwise. Today, Phil is a Media Manager and Content Creator at TEAM LTD, a life coach, and an inspiration for thousands.       In our episode we explore mental health and practical strategies to pull yourself out of a dark place, envisioning your 'perfect day,' the power of exercise, meditation, mindfulness and your mindset in general and MUCH MUCH MORE.       Subscribe to the podcast on all platforms (Spotify, Youtube, Apple Podcasts, etc.) @ ItsNotThatDeepPodcast.com and shoot me a DM on Instagram @ItsNotThatDeepPodcast so we can connect!
