My guest is Shapel Lacey, who over the years and has talked about one of the most important people in his life, a mentor and therapist named Chip Chilton. Through an amazing fan of The HoneyDew, Chip reached out to us. We passed his information along to Shapel, and after more than 15 years without seeing or speaking to each other, Shapel and Chip reconnected. Now, for our 400th episode, they’re sitting down together for an incredible full-circle conversation. We talk about childhood, abuse, trauma, anger, confusion, love, mental health, therapy, and what it’s like trying to make sense of life when no one ever gave you the tools to understand it. We talk about finding comedy and humor in trauma and darkness, the healing power of music, learning how to communicate as men, and accepting that no matter how far you’ve come, you’re still a work in progress. Most importantly, we talk openly about men’s mental health and therapy and why asking for help, talking about your feelings, and working on yourself doesn’t make you weak. This episode is everything The HoneyDew has always been about - Highlighting the Lowlights and finding the humor in the darkest parts of life, and it doesn’t happen without you! I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate 400 episodes of The Dew.
