Shaping Identity is a podcast for sharing lived experiences with mental illness, addictions, and recovery journeys. It is with hope that this podcast will help others struggling or on their own road of recovery. If you’re wanting a front row seat to the vulnerability and emotions that go into facing yourself in order to heal- then this podcast may be for you. Listeners discretion is advised. Explicit content including suicide, unhealthy and dangerous behaviours, and trauma will be observed. Please be cautious as there may be some triggering content. With this all in mind, I hope you will join me on my road to recovery. Names and places of individuals mentioned in the podcast have been changed for their well-being and privacy.
