Rod Pedersen: Finding Strength in Sobriety and Mental Health

I'm sure I've been denied opportunities career-wise, since I've announced that I'm in recovery or I still battle five severe mental illnesses, but I don't care. Letting go, not letting it, have any kind of power over us anymore- and that is interesting because, see, you are very much in the public eye- have been for a long period of time.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their darkest moments into a beacon of hope? In this episode of 'MENtal Health: It's Time to Talk', host Allan Kehler sits down with Hall of Fame broadcaster and bestselling author Rod Pedersen. Rod opens up about his lifelong struggles with mental illness and alcoholism, sharing a raw and inspiring story that’s as much about gratitude as it is about resilience.

Whether you’re struggling with similar issues or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a heartfelt reminder that hope and change are always within reach.
Tune in to hear Rod Pedersen’s powerful journey and discover how gratitude and resilience can pave the way to mental health recovery.
