In this episode, I am talking with artist Matt Bodett. Matt was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and after initially recovering from the diagnosis, he began to rebuild his life in a way that he wanted. He looked at the system and stood up for himself within it. The responsibility, and clarity that requires is enormous and we speak about that in the episode. The medical industry which, if you have ever been to an IOP you will know, is very much about us appearing a certain way more than it is about us actually being wholly healthy, whatever that would mean for us individually. Matt is a signpost for us, and for mental health. We do recover, and we can each recover ourselves which is something that is extremely unique. If you want to learn more about Matt and his work visit his website http://www.mattbodett.com/or contact him on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mattbodett/ With episodes like this one, I am extremely grateful. Although schizophrenia is outside the realm of my recovery conversation it remains deeply connected. Broadening the recovery conversation is part of my mission. I cannot express how grateful I am to have so many wonderful people trust me to interview them like @thesobersenorita @staciekdavis @walkunchained and so many others, it is my hope, that I also am able to contribute to their lives and show you how you might better see your growth.
