  • #6 - Life After Heroin with Marek Hyde

    In this podcast, I talk to my childhood friend Marek Hyde about his battle with drug addiction.    

    We have been friends since we were 6 years old so we have both been able to observe each other's downfall and battles with addiction. It has been incredibly refreshing to meet up on the other side of some seriously dark and challenging times.  We discuss our realisations and Mareks experience doing the 12 step drug rehabilitation program.    

    I hope you enjoy this episode. Please don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

  • Break The Chain Podcast #5 - Dealing with paranoid schizophrenia with Greyson Sarginson from Grey mental health
    I talk to my good friend Greyson Sarginson about his struggles with paranoia and how his reality turned into a nightmare. This was a complete shock to me because he seemed to be normal but suffering from mild depression, this was until the day that he ran away from us and disappeared for 2 years.   I had no way to contact him and I thought he may have committed suicide but I was relieved to get in contact with him again and find out that he was safe. He explained that he had thought that the whole world was plotting against him and that he had been sectioned in a mental health institute. In there he had been able to make the link between early childhood trauma and the use of psychedelic drugs that triggered drugs that were the catalyst for this.   
    Enjoy.

  • #3 - The Truth About Addiction with Koorosh Rassekh

    It was such a privilege to interview Koorosh Rassekh, one of the leading experts in addiction. 

    He is the founder of Evo health and wellness and a student and colleague of Gabor Maté. One of the world's most forward-thinking experts in addiction.  

    We discussed the root causes of addiction and ways to deal with this problem.  

    We talk about one of Gabor Maté's quotes, "it's not why the addiction, but rather why the pain" He explains that addiction is a very rational behavior because all we are trying to do is get out of pain. we should therefore not condemn our actions but rather look for a solution to a problem.  We discussed a wide range of topics and I have learned so much from this conversation. I have already listened to it 3 times before posting this.  

    I sincerely hope that you enjoy it!
