It's a story of grief and recovery and it's called unpacked sparkle with, yes, sparkly shoes. If you are struggling right now, he's obviously funny.
Imagine losing the love of your life and being blamed for it by their family. That's the harsh reality Patrick faced when his partner died in 2014. In this gripping episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', Brandon Lee sits down with Patrick, a man who has turned his darkest moments into a beacon of hope for others.
