In this deeply personal episode of The Mental Health Toolbox, we welcome Tate Barkley, a man who rose from the small-town struggles of North Carolina to find himself amidst family secrets, addiction, and the fight for self-acceptance. Tate shares his journey of overcoming alcoholism, losing his law practice, hitting rock bottom and subsequently taking responsibility to change his life. Listen as he unfolds his story of survival in a good ole boys' world, his quest for connection with an elusive father, and his path to accepting his true self. This episode is a testament to resilience, the power of transformation, and the courage it takes to face one's past. Join us for an inspiring conversation that promises to touch your heart and open your mind.
