About John
John Mabry’s charmed life took him from a private collegiate Christian education in Texas to acting on major productions – while landing national media attention from the moment he landed in Hollywood. However, mental health issues, alcoholism and addiction took him from parties at the Playboy mansion to living in a dilapidated trailer on the banks of the Cumberland River in Tennessee.

Despite a master’s degree in counseling, an invention to his name and multiple public-speaking awards, John experienced more loss than most. From a fatal car accident to an overdose of a dear loved one – these events lead his downward spiral into a two decade-long battle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorder. 

John has previously worked in the treatment industry, hosted a recovery podcast and excelled at sharing his story with over 6-million people around the world.

With his 20+ years of knowledge, John speaks to audiences around the country on the real causes of anxiety and depression and the practical ways he has found to overcome adversity in life.
