Inside the Mind of Daniel Thompson
Daniel Thompson
All my life I have felt like a person on the outside looking in. I contribute this, in part, to the time in which I grew up. We didn’t have the resources we do now and the safe spaces to discuss our thoughts and mental health. So now, I’m creating one for myself — with the hope some of you will benefit to. In this podcast, I talk openly and honestly about my life experiences, my struggles with mental health and my observations walking in this world. I’d love it if you joined me in that.
