In this week's episode, Billy and Brian ask Michael Mosher:
--We met through Lecia Fox’s Gentlemen’s Guide to Inner Work, and I distinctly remember seeing how emotional some of the conversations were for you and thinking, “Oh boy, something traumatic has happened in this guy’s life”. Can you take us through some of that past trauma leading up to our time together in the Inner Work course?
--So once we started the Inner Work course, it was evident that you were still hurting, and it sounds like you had a relapse shortly following the conclusion of that course. Can you share what was going on during that specific time period?
--You learned recently that you’ve been living with bipolar disorder. I’m curious how you learned this, what steps you’ve taken to manage your emotional swings, and what new awareness of self you’ve developed since learning this?
--Like me, you also took a leave from your job and took your own journey. Tell us how you came to that decision, what that was like asking for that time off and how it was received, and where you went, what you did, and what that experience meant to you.
