The Squats and Sober Thoughts Podcast
Max Larocque
My goal with this podcast is to bring on a variety of different experts in the field of mental and physical health to help educate myself, and the listeners on the many different modalities of healing available. By getting vulnerable and speaking about my own experiences with addiction and mental health, as well as bringing on professionals to discuss the various different modalities available, I am hopeful we can start to break the stigma around reaching out for help sooner rather than later!
