Why did I create Solution Sessions?

What drives someone to seek a life without keeping quiet about their struggles? This RAW Recovery episode digs into exactly that as the creator of Solution Sessions explains why this new offering exists and who it’s really for. Speaking candidly, they share that Solution Sessions "comes from my whole life. The good parts, the ugly parts, my mistakes, my recovery" and years of work in recovery, behavioural health, crisis services and advocacy.

Rather than another complicated service buried under forms and waiting lists, Solution Sessions is framed as one person sitting with another and asking, "What is actually going on with you right now?" The focus is on clearing away the noise, spotting the real barriers and helping the other person say their own solution out loud: "Because see, when it comes out of your mouth, it becomes true." The session approach is grounded in a mantra: "Truth, clarity, hope." Truth means being willing to ask and face the hard questions.

You’ll hear about homelessness at 17, mental health diagnoses, relapses and multiple fresh starts, all feeding into a simple question: how can all that experience actually "help somebody today"? Clarity means separating what matters from the chaos of daily life. Hope is described not as pretending everything’s fine, but seeing that "there is something that I can do next" and knowing someone else genuinely understands.

You’ll also hear an honest look at broken systems, the gaps between services, and why keeping costs low matters so much to someone who has known tight finances firsthand. There’s even a wry moment about AI marketing language trying to claim "I’m opening up a few more slots" when, as they say, "I don’t have any clients.

That is a lie." If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or just need "an honest conversation" instead of another label, this episode may get you thinking: what would one truthful chat change for you?
