Mike McDonnell: Losing Your Mind to Find It

Mike McDonnell: Losing Your Mind to Find It

In this episode of Cut The Sh*t, Lewis Kross sits down with Mike McDonnell to explore what really happens when your mind breaks — and what you can learn from putting it back together.

Mike shares his experiences of psychosis, the misconceptions surrounding severe mental health episodes, and how humour, resilience, and community became powerful tools in his recovery. The conversation moves beyond labels and diagnoses, questioning the balance between medication and alternative healing, the pressures of modern life, and what psychedelics can reveal about consciousness and identity.

They also dive into addiction, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and the overlooked foundations of mental wellbeing. From processed food culture to therapy, parenting, and the illusion of control, this episode examines how small, consistent habits shape long-term recovery and meaning.

At its core, this is a conversation about freedom — from addiction, from rigid belief systems, and from the narratives we build around suffering. It’s about resilience, responsibility, and the courage to ask for help.
