Please remember that no episode of the MyoMinds podcast can be used as a replacement for medical advice and/or care.

DISCLAIMER - this episode touches on many difficult subjects, including sexual assault. Please take care if you decide to listen.

Today I speak with my friend Rob, he has been through so much in his life and this podcast is dedicated to his triumph over these adversities. We speak about Rob's difficulties at school, being picked on for being gay and dealing with eating issues, his struggles through university, with alcoholism and assault, and his post-uni life where he hit rock bottom before he started to turn things around.

Rob is now working on a doctorate and is delivering counseling, using his experiences to help others.

I was holding back tears on multiple occasions during this episode, I hope you all enjoy!
