Peter McCormick: Music, Mental Health, and the Journey to Sobriety
You don't have to be a hero, you don't have to be no man's, an island, all this kind of stuff. There there are people who want to help, who've been there, been down in the mud and the muck and the dirt.
Stuart Butler sits down with Peter McCormick, the founder of Turfnet in the USA, for a heartfelt conversation on 'Henry Weston's Old Mate'. Peter opens up about his personal battles with depression and the various strategies he's employed to cope, including the powerful role of music therapy. Having given up alcohol in late 2019, Peter shares how this decision has positively impacted his mental health and overall well-being.
The discussion also delves into the challenges of weight management, diabetes prevention, and the often-overlooked dangers of overworking. Peter's candidness and practical advice offer valuable insights for anyone facing similar struggles or seeking to improve their mental health. This episode is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the importance of seeking support.
