Turning Pain into Purpose: Noah May on Mental Health, Resilience & Healing | Behind The Mic Series | Ep. 88

In this deeply moving, powerful, and candid conversation, I sit down with Noah May—host of the Lethal Venom Podcast—a show built on raw honesty, unfiltered truth, and the courage to speak openly about the hard things so many people silently carry. Noah shares his story with profound vulnerability, beginning with the circumstances of his conception, the strength of his relationship with his mother, and the childhood experiences that shaped him.

From bullying, isolation, and identifying symptoms of depression early on to being diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety, Noah walks us through the realities of navigating mental health as a teenager and young adult. He discusses the physical toll anxiety took on his body, how COVID intensified his struggles, the long road of recovery, and the role his support system—and especially his mother—played in helping him survive some of the darkest moments of his life.

We also explore how podcasting became a therapeutic outlet and a mission; how music, faith, and connection kept him grounded; and why he is committed to being an advocate for mental health, healing, and community. Noah’s story is honest, emotional, and incredibly important for anyone who feels alone in their mental health journey.
