304: Gay Man's Guide For Finding Healing and Strength in Chaotic Times – Wil Fisher

Trauma has impacted us deeply—especially here in the U.S., where the 2024 election brought new waves of confusion and fear for us as gay men. How do we heal from these experiences? Where do we find the strength to move forward? In this episode, I’m joined by fellow life coach and podcaster Wil Fisher to explore how healing ourselves creates ripples of healing for others and helps us rebuild our communities, even in the midst of chaos. Here’s what you’ll take away:
  • Practical paths to self-healing and creating spaces of comfort and resilience
  • One powerful phrase that could shift everything for you
  • Tools for acceptance and conscious living, helping you move forward with strength and clarity.
