\nMental Health … we all have it and occasionally we all struggle with it at varying degrees. On the podcast<\/a> this week, we’re catching up with John Steffler to learn a little more about him, his family and the loss of their son\/brother\/grandson. We will talk about the Tanner Steffler Foundation,<\/strong><\/a> founded in Tanner’s memory, and how it serves as a response to their grief and as a lighthouse of hope and resources for other young people and families in the community.<\/p>\n

But before we chat with John …<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

A few years ago I got a message wondering how I was coping after a very special fundraising effort I’d been a part of. I, along with an incredible team of support staff and friends had run 120k spread over 5 consecutive days to raise awareness for 5 mental health organizations in Midwestern Ontario. #RunPhilRun\u00a0 The training and planning had consumed my life for several months prior. I responded to the message and told her I was fine. She asked again, “How are you … really?”<\/strong> I was in fact, not fine. I was dealing with post show blues … the sadness that often comes for me when something wonderful reaches its natural conclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Milli” and I had met at a TSF event in March of 2019. We gathered with, well over 100 other people that evening at the Livery in Goderich, to be In Conversation<\/em> about our mental health struggles and the fight to remove the stigma that often surrounds it.<\/p>\n

This first week of May (May 1 \u2013 7)<\/b>\u00a0is a time for communities, families and friends to come together to mark Children’s Mental Health Week.<\/a>
\nThat and all of the above considered … we thought perhaps this might be an okay time to tell you quickly how it all started for Boomer & Milli …\u00a0 and how it’s going.<\/p>\n

*Side note: If you’re wondering …what is the Boomer & Milli thing about? Fast forward to a time about a year ago …<\/p>\n

Her: Do you know where we are?
\nMe: Not\u00a0exactly … there’s a map in the glove compartment if you wanna grab it.
\nHer: Whoa … slow your roll there Indiana Jones … I’ll just Google Map it.
\nMe:
\nHer:
\nMe: Millennial
\nHer: Boomer<\/p>\n

It’s pretty simple, but there it is. The birth of The Adventures of Boomer & Milli<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I know … this post is all over the place and chaotic but that’s kind of who we are … So without further ado (he said, furthering the ado) please click the link below for more on our story and my conversation with John.<\/p>\n
