You’re the Black Sheep of the family, who doesn’t fit in anywhere and struggles with loneliness: The Outsider. You are talented and intelligent with ambitious business and/or creative dreams; but due to procrastination fueled by self-sabotage and addictions (e.g., cannabis, pornography, video games), you continually fail to achieve goals. You negatively compare yourself to others, can't forgive yourself for mistakes, feel like a failure, and wish you had the confidence to fulfill your true potential because you are meant for more than the mediocrity that most people settle for. Welcome, it's time to awaken the warrior within!

Everyone has challenges in their lives. These challenges bring about stress, anxiety, burnout, depression and many other mental health concerns. Whether it's life transitions, work stress, death, divorce or the pandemic "new normal", you may be questioning how to cope with any new unhealthy thinking patterns and habits you may have. Thankfully, you are not alone in all this and many others have sought support as well.

Are you someone who feels that your anxiety, depression or emotions are too overwhelming and painful? Are you someone who uses drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with and escape your pain? Are you someone who feels trapped in the dark cycle of addiction and mental health issues? Then you are not alone. Many people find themselves caught in the vicious cycle of trying to live with their emotional and mental health struggles, while turning to substances seeking relief only to find it for a fleeting moment followed by more pain. Reaching out for help is a hard first step towards healing, finding freedom from pain and breaking isolation.
