I think it would be very, very, very helpful if more of us recognized- if maybe we were taught when we were younger that everyone has gifts to bring to the table, but that it works better.
Ever felt like the odd one out? Kevin Allison, host of the podcast RISK! and former member of the sketch comedy group The State, knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Kevin sits down with Paul Gilmartin to share his journey of embracing his unique quirks and imperfections.
Growing up as a gay kid in a conservative town, Kevin faced immense pressure to conform, battling feelings of inadequacy and fear of not being good enough. He opens up about some of his most vulnerable moments, including a stint as a prostitute and a twelve-year gap between the end of The State and the beginning of RISK!. During their candid chat, Kevin also discusses surviving sexual assault and the importance of finding a supportive community.
Through storytelling, he found his authentic voice and learned to celebrate his weirdness. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of self-acceptance, resilience, and the healing power of sharing your story. If you're on a journey to embrace your true self, Kevin's story might just be the inspiration you need.
