Amazing

I love the way you are and the music is pretty groovy. The way you share you experiences, makes it easier to feel understood. Thank you

A year of loss

After experiencing a year of major multiple losses, I’ve had to suffer through endless well meaning advice givers and counselors. A whole year of it and nothing any of them said made sense to me. It just made things worse really. I don’t even know how I stumbled upon this podcast, but I’m glad I did. It’s helped me process more in a week than any of the grief gabbers ever did. I hope he never stops. He’s saving lives out here. 🙏🏻

Love this podcast

Honestly, navigating living through mental illness is really tough, something I wish my family could offer more support and guidance through. Dave does a really good job at reflecting on his experiences and on his struggle with substance abuse. Makes a dude feel like he’s not alone, ya know?
