Summary

This convo right here is special. I sat down with my good friend Chris Durso — a real one — and we got into it. We talk about leadership, trauma, healing, therapy, church in New York, and what it actually means to get healthy. Chris opens up about his battle with PTSD, abuse, and what healing has looked like for him. This one’s honest, raw, and filled with hope.

If you're trying to figure out your faith, your friendships, or just how to keep going when life hits hard — this is for you.
