In one of our most emotional and courageous episodes yet, we’re joined by Mark Rickard.
An incredible man who shares the raw, unfiltered truth about his experiences with childhood sexual abuse, addiction, borderline personality disorder, and the painful process of healing.
From the age of five, Mark’s identity was shaped by trauma. He opens up about the confusion, shame, and destructive patterns that followed him into adulthood, and how therapy helped him begin to piece himself back together.
This conversation covers everything:
The silence surrounding male sexual abuse
Living with BPD and navigating intense emotions
Addiction as a form of slow suicide
The struggle for self-worth, self-forgiveness, and trust
How turning pain into purpose can light the path forward
Now a youth coach and fierce advocate for mental health, Mark’s story is one of unimaginable hurt, but also one of strength, honesty, and hope.
