Finding Happiness In Our Broken Places with Mitchell Gray # 19
Description
"If I let myself be available to be happy, most of the time it does happen."
Pepe connects with Mitchell "Trash" Gray as they discuss their prison experiences, exploring their broken places & their individual relationships to happiness that developed through the journey. It's an emotional conversation at times that traverses topics from addiction to Buddhism and overall lets you see you have a choice to make when you push up against difficult moments or your own broken places. Listen to the episode to find out the choices Mitchell & Pepe made when they were standing on the edge of these places. We end with the song "Dying Red Sun" by Mitchell's band Our Own Legacy.
