Overcoming mental health issues in college with Harry Potvin (TPL206)

Harry Potvin is a competitive swimmer and recent graduate of the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. Having struggled with mental health issues throughout his college career, Harry is an advocate and champion for honest conversation on mental health and seeking out resources to get necessary support. He hosts a wildly successful podcast called The Mental Corner, where he and guests unpack overcoming mental health challenges.

 

In this episode, Damon talks with Harry about navigating mental health as a student and athlete, suicide, the dangers of struggling in silence and the impact of finding the right resources.

 

Harry's story is so powerful - but it's sadly not unique. All too often, young people, athletes, high-performers and leaders are struggling with mental health challenges, and many of them are doing so in silence. This episode is our opportunity to say we see you, we hear you and it's okay to not be okay (but it's not okay to not ask for help.)

Owning your identity with Andrew Ecker - TPL205

Andrew Ecker, author of the ‘The Sacred 7’  Apache “NDE”, Irish and German American. Born into an inheritance of trauma, both his parents were addicted to drugs and died very young. Mom, Kathy Lindsey, died from a cocaine overdose whereas Father, Dale Ecker, from HepC caused by intravenous drug use. 

 

Growing up in the height of the Reagan and Clinton “War on Drugs” policies led Andrew down a path of destruction that included cocaine and heroin abuse until he made a decision to change his life while serving 3.5 years in federal prison for drug charges. 

 

Andrew found healing in his life through the use of ancient technologies including drumming and a ceremonial introduction process of his Native American ancestry he outlines in his book ‘The Sacred 7’.

 

Andrew has been able to, in over 25 years of effort, facilitate over 4000 meaningful wellness with a focus on suicide prevention, substance abuse, individual and community development.

 

Damon and Andrew talk about the power in acknowledging, accepting and anchoring ourselves in the identities and experiences which have shaped our journey in this life. Andrew shares how prison time and music have offered community and life as he works to heal from trauma and help others to do the same.

 

You can get a free copy of The Sacred 7 on Andrew’s website. Even better, you can purchase a signed copy for yourself - and a second copy will be sent to someone who is incarcerated. Please consider sharing your time and resources to support this cause.
