Owning Shadows: Matt Taylor's Journey Through Addiction and Healing

We don’t have to self-destruct because of that. I don’t know what it’s like to not be that type of person. Other people’s health, other people’s everything, their wellness, their sense of self, is more important to me than my own, and that’s not a good thing.
Matt Taylor knows what it’s like to face some of life’s darkest moments. In this heartfelt episode of The Well Deserved Podcast, he opens up about his battles with HIV and crystal meth addiction. But Matt’s story isn’t just about the hardships; it’s about the resilience and growth that follow.
He talks openly about the shame and stigma that have shadowed his life, and how these feelings often led him to use his illness as a shield against doing the hard work of recovery. Through therapy and self-reflection, Matt has started to dismantle these barriers, learning to prioritize his well-being and confront his self-doubt. His journey is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest times, there is always a path to healing.
By sharing his experiences, Matt hopes to inspire others to break free from their own cycles of self-destruction and embrace a life of wellness. If you’re looking for a story of hope, courage, and the transformative power of vulnerability, this episode is a must-listen.
