What happens when you strip away the labels society places on us? Jordan Homer and Bryan Lee tackle this question head-on in this episode of 'The Quality Varies'. They dive into the tricky subject of identity, examining how it influences our mental health, addiction, and paths to recovery. From the get-go, they challenge the notion of identity as a fixed concept, instead presenting it as something fluid and ever-changing.
