Brian Broome: Healing, Sobriety, and Self-Discovery

You have to find a way to be you in this world and be proud of that fact, and to say to yourself that not only are you allowed to take up space, like you should take up space- and that's what I mean by saving yourself, like you're not going to find it in the bottom of a bottle, in the bottom of a syringe, like you're not going to find it there, like you have to save yourself.
Ever wondered what it takes to truly heal from the past and find yourself? Brian Broome, a poet, screenwriter, and instructor at the University of Pittsburgh, joins Eric Zimmer on 'The One You Feed' to share his moving journey. In this episode, Brian opens up about his memoir, *Punch Me Up to the Gods*, which delves into his life experiences, including his struggles with addiction and the quest for sobriety.
Raised in an environment where toughness and masculinity were paramount, Brian discusses how these expectations shaped his early life and the challenges he faced breaking free from them. Brian reflects on his relationship with his father, revealing how writing his book allowed him to understand more about his dad after his passing. His story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about healing childhood wounds and finding a way to be proud of who you are.
He emphasizes the importance of therapy and emotional healing, stating, 'You have to find a way to be you in this world and be proud of that fact. You should take up space.' This episode is a heartfelt exploration of mental health, masculinity, and the power of vulnerability. Brian talks about the role of support systems in recovery and how being authentic in his writing and relationships has been crucial to his healing process.
If you're interested in stories of resilience and the path to self-acceptance, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
