What does it actually take to build a life you don’t want to escape from?
In this powerful crossover episode—originally recorded on The Hopaholics Podcast with Chad, Natalie, and Shane—Kaylor sits down in Orange County for one of the most raw and relatable conversations yet. From overcoming mental illness and self-sabotage to becoming one of the first Canadians to publicly call BS on the COVID narrative, Kaylor unpacks the full journey of personal breakdowns, relentless healing, and stepping into purpose.
The crew goes deep into addiction, emotional regulation, modern masculinity, censorship, Western medicine, and spiritual evolution—nothing is off limits. If you’ve ever struggled with low self-worth, old coping mechanisms, or felt like you were made for more, this episode is for you.
