In this raw and deeply personal episode, Grant opens up for the first time about his journey with mental health, self-discovery, and the events that led him to the microphone.

He reflects on the emotional highs and lows of 2019, including his film debut, wedding, and the silent struggle that nearly consumed him, all while hiding in plain sight.

What begins as an introduction turns into something more honest and revealing: a story about trauma, therapy, medication, and the lifelong search for identity and belonging.

This episode is a dedication to two childhood friends. James and Gillian, whose presence and absence shaped a lifelong narrative of connection, loss, and healing.

“Today might not be a good day… but tomorrow might be. And you have to be here to find that out.”

If you're struggling, you're not alone. Help is out there.

Topics Covered:

• Grant’s background and creative work

• The impact of unresolved childhood grief

• Early signs of depression and anxiety

• Mental health stigma and coping mechanisms

• Medication, therapy, and recovery

• Rediscovering identity in your 30s

• A heartfelt dedication to James and Gillian

On this episode, I take the opportunity to express some thoughts and feelings I've had for a while as I come to grips with the reality of adulthood, parenthood, and the messy balance between responsibility and personal identity. It’s a candid reflection on where I’ve been, what I’m still figuring out, and how I’m preparing myself for the next chapter, as I journey to 40 & beyond.
