Self-improvement done right (and wrong)
Already feeling burnt out to start 2026? This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir presses resilience expert Mandy Gill on the truth behind the “January slump”. How does “New Year, New You” set so many people up to fail? Plus, Now You Know BC’s BC Bob (Bob Kronbauer) opens up about his accidental sobriety journey and how quitting drinking for over 500 days has reshaped his outlook on life. Finally, why are some young men smashing their faces with a hammer? This is VANCOLOUR’s resident zoomer, Neena Savage, exposes “looksmaxxing”: a dark, online subculture promoting extreme and harmful beauty standards.
