Скачать или смотреть Breaking the Silence: From Survival to Purpose — James’ Journey Toward Healing and Hope

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, James opens up about his journey from surviving childhood abuse, addiction, and mental health struggles to discovering purpose, healing, and hope. Together, we explore the realities many men face but rarely speak about—shame, silence, anger, anxiety, and the long road toward recovery.

James shares how peer support, lived experience, community, and one person believing in him changed the direction of his life. From battling trauma to becoming a co-facilitator helping other men, his story is a testament to resilience, courage, and the strength that comes from speaking truth.

This episode sheds light on: - The hidden struggles of male survivors
The importance of peer support and connection
Finding meaning after trauma
Healing through honesty, community, and compassion
Why one supportive person can transform a life
Reclaiming identity beyond diagnosis, past mistakes, or shame

If you or someone you know is walking through pain, this conversation offers hope, understanding, and the reminder that healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.
