I'm not an expert on a lot of things, but man, was I an expert on how to live with suffering. If you have any level of suffering in your life, I think I might understand you. This podcast will share stories of how my life of struggling with debilitating mental and emotional stress and pain changed to something very different. Something I didn't consider possible. A life where I am truly glad to see the sun rise every day. I hope you'll join me on this journey and get something from it that helps you suffer just a little less!
