  • Not quite therapy, but definitely therapeutic

    Listening to John’s shows hits just right when I’m fighting anxiety. I bounce between this one and Sleeping With Celebrities.

  • Steady place to land

    Consistent, steady, stable podcast, dives DEEP into mental health, from those who experience illness directly. Honest, hard and slowly helping to heal me every time I listen! Best thing: John Moe’s curiosity out about difficult and seemingly unsolvable topics.

Blake Mycoskie Helped the World, Got Rich, Retired to a Life of Ease, Then Fell Apart
Q: Okay, so Blake, after you left TOMS, what happened next and why did you decide to change course?
Blake explains that after leaving TOMS due to burnout and a desire for balance, he moved to Jackson Hole and later Costa Rica, but felt disconnected from his purpose and community. This sparked a difficult period of depression and isolation until he began therapy, reassessed his identity apart from work, and started rebuilding through new projects that emphasize mental health and recovery, including No Magic Pill and the We Are Enough movement.
