In this deeply personal episode of The Hobby Hangar, Tristan and Connor are joined by guest host Gin as they sit down with Chris for an honest conversation about childhood trauma, navigating life through grief, and finding meaning in the aftermath of loss. Chris opens up about how reptiles became more than just a hobby—they became a source of healing, stability, and purpose during some of the hardest moments of their life.

Together, the crew explores how passion can become a lifeline, the importance of talking openly about mental health, and how caring for animals can help rebuild a sense of direction and connection. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t linear—and sometimes purpose finds us in unexpected places.
