Surviving the Darkest Days: The Power of Perspective with Dave Mowry

Can finding humor in the darkest experiences of our lives change the way we see them? Dave Mowry explores that question through his own experience of severe mental health struggles, homelessness, trauma, and eventually discovering stand-up comedy as an unexpected way to approach those experiences differently. He also makes an important distinction: humor can work alongside professional mental health support, but it is not a substitute for it. This is a candid conversation about pain, perspective, resilience, and finding a way forward.
