Episode 3.12: Resilience and Recovery with Matthew Parkes

It has been said that each of us carries at least one good story: That of our own lives. My guest today is proof of that old adage. His story is one that truly embodies the essence of resilience, transformation, and the power of human connection. 

In this episode, I welcome my close friend Matthew Parkes. When I first met Matt, I had no idea of his history or the things he’d been through. He simply struck me as a charming and affable fellow. But as our friendship flourished, I became aware of his extraordinary and inspiring personal story. 

From a near-death experience that turned his life upside down to overcoming severe alcoholism, Matt has faced unimaginable challenges and emerged stronger on the other side. Here, Matt shares his journey through a severe medical crisis, struggles with addiction, and how a community focused on men’s emotional health helped him find a new path. It’s a story of pain, perseverance, and ultimately, profound personal growth.

Beyond the trials, what stands out most is Matt’s vulnerability and authenticity. His journey is a testament to the power of facing our deepest fears, leaning into our pain, and finding strength in connection.

I invite you to sit back, open your heart, and prepare to be inspired. So let’s get on the road!
