In this episode of the Chapter 3 Stigma Podcast, Kyle recounts and shares a transformative exercise he undertook in rehab. Known as the obituary exercise, this activity involves writing one’s own obituary to visualize a life cut short by addiction versus a life lived in recovery.

Kyle walks listeners through this impactful and emotional process, emphasizing the importance of living intentionally and offering a blueprint for those struggling with addiction or mental health issues. He also reflects on the importance of community and faith in the journey to recovery, encouraging listeners to allow the exercise to provide clarity, direction, and a sense of purpose.
