Ep 45: Swimming in Antarctica and Multiple Overdoses with Mental Health Expert, Archie Messersmith-Bunting

This week I got to kick it in the booth with Archie Messersmith-Bunting, aka The Feelings Guy™ and we got DEEP. Before diving into conversations about mental health, drug abuse, singing on Broadway, and an experience of being bucked into the waters of Antarctica – we talked about Archie’s hometown in Alabama which is where all of the unclaimed baggage from airplanes goes… to a place, cleverly named Unclaimed Baggage. While talking about Alabama, Archie told us about his traumatic experience growing up gay in the deep south, he then shared about his move to New York, his experience with drug abuse, and the powerful experience of meeting a sponsor and a therapist that normalized his mental illness. He’s on a mission to create space for feelings of all kinds and to normalize mental health for the masses. Archie holds so much power in his story, and we created a conversation that will stick with you long into the future. You aren’t going to want to miss this episode!
