This week’s Sesh starts in one place and somehow ends somewhere completely different, which is honestly how most great conversations go. We dive into Utah’s long history with prescription pills, share stories about pain medication, addiction, recovery, and how easily people can find themselves heading down a road they never intended to travel.
From there, the conversation shifts into chronic pain, fitness, alcohol, personal responsibility, and the frustrating reality that sometimes the best solutions come from random people who’ve lived through the same problems rather than the professionals you expected to help.
Then things take a turn into dating, relationships, identity, self-worth, and the strange expectations we place on ourselves and each other. We talk about modern dating, why genuine connection feels harder than ever, how people confuse job titles and income with value, and why many of us are still carrying stories about who we think we’re supposed to be.
Along the way we explore friendship, fatherhood, religion, community, personal growth, networking culture, leadership, and why helping other people often ends up helping ourselves just as much.
