In this first episode of From Boys to Men, I open up about my journey with addiction — from smoking weed after the death of a close friend, to years of codependent relationships and love addiction. I share how grief, loss, and a lack of safety in my body shaped these patterns, and how psychedelic medicine began to bring me back to feeling. 

This episode features two songs: “I’m an Addict,” a raw reflection on my entanglement with my ex, and “Stepping Up,” a tribute to my best friend Tyler.

This is a story of unshaming, returning to the body, and learning how to feel again.
