Episode Description
In honor of Mental Health month, today's show brings stigma out of the closet. Here to do just that are three guests who are about to start an Icebreaker Run across America. Chris Martin, Pam Rickard and Charlie Engle, are on the team of people in recovery from mental health issues, who will begin a 3,100-mile journey in order to shine a bright light on the power and possibilities of recovery from addiction, depression, PTSD, and other mental health illnesses. Personal glory is not the purpose of this historic trek. Instead, Icebreaker will invite the world to meet a group of runners that has struggled mightily with demons of every kind; enduring overdoses, incarceration and debilitating depression before finding a better life through recovery and running. They chose to call it Icebreaker because they plan to have a running conversation with America as they run from coast to coast. And this will break the ice to get others sharing and finding their path to recovery.
