In this episode of The Artful Dollar Podcast, Ryan Roi shares his experience with severe depression, psychosis, addiction, psychiatric hospitalizations, medication, electroconvulsive therapy, and how tattooing gave him purpose while he still struggled. 
 
Ryan describes key breakthroughs around fear of others’ opinions, the stories and language that shape perception, and how “understanding” alone doesn’t change behavior. 
 
He emphasizes changing environments, finding supportive communities, questioning the meaning you assign to events, and letting go of limiting labels and identities as a path toward sobriety, growth, and greater freedom. 
 
This episode is not medical advice, we encourage seeking professional help when needed.
