Welcome to "Moose on the Loose," my personal journey shared with you, through the highs and lows that life has tossed my way. I'm Paul, your guide on this adventure, where laughter mingles with tears, and every story is a step toward understanding the complex tapestry of human emotions. This series dives into the heart of my experiences—coming out in a world that hasn't always been accepting, navigating the challenges of adoption, battling the chains of addiction, and confronting the relentless need for attention and validation.
Set against the backdrop of Achill Island's breathtaking beauty, this podcast is my voyage across life's turbulent seas. From the addictive depths that threatened to drown me to the serene moments of mindfulness that offered a lifeline, each episode peels back another layer of my quest for identity, belonging, and self-acceptance. My adoption story is not just a search for where I come from; it's a deeper exploration of who I am and who I aspire to be, amidst the ever-present quest to fill the voids of displacement and disconnection.
"Moose on the Loose" is more than a podcast; it's an open diary of my struggles and triumphs, a place where I lay bare the raw truths of my life in the hopes of connecting with others who might feel just as lost or alone. Through candid discussions about my battles with addiction, my journey through the complexities of my sexuality, and the incessant yearning to be loved and accepted, I hope to light a path of hope for anyone wandering in the dark.
Join me on this emotional rollercoaster, where vulnerability is our common language, and resilience our shared outcome. Each episode is a reflection of the power of storytelling to heal, to unite, and to inspire. Whether you're here for a dose of empathy, a bit of wisdom, or simply to feel part of a larger story, "Moose on the Loose" welcomes you. Together, let's explore the intricacies of identity, embrace the journey of self-love, and find laughter and light in the places we least expect.

In the first episode of "Moose on the Loose," I, Paul, embark on a deeply personal journey, sharing my experiences with the world. This podcast, set against the stunning backdrop of Achill Island, where the serene beauty of nature meets the wildness of the Atlantic, is my platform to explore the intricate dance of life's highs and lows. Joined by Mary McHugh, a seasoned psychotherapist, we dive into topics close to my heart—my struggles with identity, the path to self-acceptance, and the battles against the demons of addiction.
Mary and I discuss the transformative power of therapy, especially the innovative approach of online counseling, which has been a beacon of hope for many who find traditional therapy inaccessible. We delve into the nuances of mental health support in the digital age, recognizing the importance of meeting people where they are, in their moment of need.
As the conversation unfolds, I open up about my own life's narrative—my adoption, my journey through addiction, and my quest for acceptance, both from the world and, importantly, from myself. We touch upon the challenges of coming out, the societal pressures that shape our self-perception, and the deep-seated need for connection and understanding.
This episode is not just an introduction to the podcast but a window into my soul. It's a call to anyone who's ever felt lost, misunderstood, or on the fringe, offering a message of hope, resilience, and the undeniable power of human connection. Through "Moose on the Loose," I aim to build a community where stories of pain, joy, struggle, and triumph are shared and celebrated, reminding us all that, no matter the journey, we are never truly alone.
