Join us on this poignant and illuminating episode of EZ Conversations as we explore the profound impact of going alcohol-free, the strength it takes to prioritize mental health, and the transformative journey that Zak Hussein and Furkhan Dandia have embarked on to find their inner peace and happiness.

Zak H. is a Calgary-based technology and digital media entrepreneur born in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (East Africa). He migrated with his family at a young age, making Canada home. After the loss of his mother and the challenges he faced with mental health and depression of an all-time low, Zak decided to go deeper within himself and get sober, which resulted in Zak needing an outlet as his social life had changed, and loneliness occurred. In 2021, Zak decided to launch the Canadian Podcast (https://instagram.com/canadianpodcast), which is a homegrown show that has its studio based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Canadian Podcast Show (https://canadianpodcast.ca) highlights guests from all walks of life as they share their stories on what they have learned thus far to better themselves, their place of work and the community in which they work, thrive and live.

Through the Canadian Podcast, Zak has learned valuable lessons and insights from humans from all walks of life and has a first-hand understanding of the importance of taking care of yourself and being gentle and kind to yourself, which translated into being there for others once you feel better.

In June of 2023, Zak decided to bring a group of men from various walks of life together from across our nation of Canada to launch and create a social media, online and in-person awareness of Men’s Mental Health as June is men’s mental health month. As an entrepreneur in the digital realm, Zak decided that the branding of the name would be ‘MenTELL Health,’ a passion project dedicated to fostering men's mental health awareness. Zak believes that as one, our community can come together and work together through the grassroots to help each other shatter the silence and erase stigma by encouraging open dialogue and empowering men to speak up about their struggles regarding their mental well-being.

In his journey, Zak found help through members of the community who were online and in-person and firmly believes that no one is alone out there, even when we may feel it at times. The MenTELL Health campaign objective of #MenTELLHealth is to bring awareness and diminish the stigma surrounding men's mental health in June 2023.

As a dedicated healer, she found herself trapped in a system that seemed not to prioritize her well-being, a situation all too common in the healthcare industry.

But this episode goes beyond the personal account of burnout. Dr. Shah-Haque also shares the heart-wrenching story of her dear friend and colleague, whose battle with burnout ultimately ended in tragedy. Together, they had navigated the challenging world of medicine, supporting each other through thick and thin. Dr. Shah-Haque's colleagues' devastating suicide is a stark reminder of the grave consequences of neglecting the mental health of healthcare professionals.

Through this poignant conversation, Dr. Shah-Haque explores the systemic issues within the medical community that contribute to burnout, the stigma surrounding mental health, and the dire need for change. She discusses the importance of self-care, resilience, and finding support from within the medical community and beyond.

As we listen to Dr. Shah Haque's powerful narrative, we understand the toll that burnout can take on individuals and the profession. But more importantly, we uncover the hope and strength that can arise from adversity and loss.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone in the healthcare field, those who have faced burnout, and anyone interested in understanding the crucial importance of mental health in our society. Join us as we embark on a journey of healing, resilience, and transformation guided by Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque's inspiring story and her friend's memory.

Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, MD, is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician. She was born and raised in Kansas and attended medical school at the University of Kansas [KU] School of Medicine. She completed her Internal Medicine residency at KU-Wichita as well. After experiencing burnout and watching other physician colleagues burn out, it became her passion to look into different aspects of burnout. Because of her experiences, Dr. Shah-Haque decided to bring awareness to this overlooked issue of burnout in the medical field through her podcast The Worthy Physician. While the system does need to change, as it is broken, this podcast is a way to reach physicians and shed light on what is not an isolated situation.
