0:30my community, my purpose, and eventually my will to live. There were nights I would have done anything to just stop the pain. I spent years trying to fix myself, retreats, plant medicine, neurofeedback, only to realize there is no magic pill. I don't have to fix myself. I have to uncover myself. My healing didn't come from a single breakthrough. It came from the truth that I am enough exactly as I am. People finally just surrender their ego. Now I'm traveling the world to sit with people who have looked into that same darkness and survived. I do not enjoy my own company. This isn't about quick fixes.
1:13I thought it would never get better. I was certain of it. It's about the hard-earned wisdom. This is part of being human. That only comes from making it to the other side. Grace, give yourself some of that. We're talking honestly about how hard it gets and the daily choices that create a new path forward. No Magic Pill launches May 5th.

From the publisher
TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie lost his community, purpose, and will to live after he sold his company. He then spent years trying to find a single 'cure' that would fix his mental health, only to realize there is no magic pill.
Now, he’s traveling the world to meet guests with their own mental health journeys, from Matthew McConaughey and Michael Pollan to Jewel and Tim Ferriss. They get real about dark days dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and agoraphobia, and the patchwork of solutions that got them through.
From Lemonada Media and the Enough Foundation, No Magic Pill launches May 5th. New episodes are out every Tuesday.
