  • Updated Weekly

All my life I have felt like a person on the outside looking in. I contribute this, in part, to the time in which I grew up. We didn’t have the resources we do now and the safe spaces to discuss our thoughts and mental health. So now, I’m creating one for myself — with the hope some of you will benefit to. In this podcast, I talk openly and honestly about my life experiences, my struggles with mental health and my observations walking in this world. I’d love it if you joined me in that.

    Ep 25: Ego and the music scene

    I have a big ego. I have all my life. If you don't know that I do, then I'm doing a good job at managing it. My recent thoughts on my own ego and those you see in a typical music scene inspired this episode. Give it a listen and tell me what you think.

    Ep. 23: Mark Ruffalo and the value of a little hope
