A hospital bed, a diagnosis, and nine months of depression. Connor calls it the best thing that ever happened to him, and he's never told the full story until now. Recorded at Wasing Estate post Medicine Festival, Connor shares what happened when heartbreak cracked his reality open, why the hardest part wasn't the episode but having his experience denied, and what it cost him in friendships. We then follow the thread to where it led: meeting his partner, the birth of his son Nalu, and his work now supporting men through the journey to fatherhood. In this episode you'll learn: Why Connor still uses the word psychosis, and what shifted when he saw it through a different lens What it feels like when the people closest to you deny your experience, and how he came to own the harm it caused them Why freedom isn't the absence of responsibility but the choice of it ====== CONNOR OAKAIAH ===== IG ▶ https://www.instagram.com/connoroakaiah/WEBSITE ▶ https://www.journeytofatherhood.org/ ====== CHRIS GEISLER ====== WORK WITH ME ▶ https://chris-geisler.mykajabi.com/start-here ====== SUPPORT ====== Support The Podcast ▶ www.patreon.com/thechrisgeislerPodcast Whatsapp Community ▶ https://t.me/thechrisgeislerpodcast
