   "My addiction was helping, until..." (Episode 14)

   In this episode of Can I Walk With You?, I walk through New York City with Dylan — who’s here celebrating one year of sobriety. They talk about how alcohol once helped numb the pain of old trauma, until the cost became too heavy to ignore. Now, after a year sober, they say they finally feel on an even playing field with others — and for the first time, they actually like being inside their own mind… because they redecorated it.

   “This is what it actually feels like to have schizophrenia…”

   In this episode, I walk with Captain Fantastic, a kind gentleman dressed in a brilliant captain’s outfit- his own form of soft rebellion. He talks about living life as an expression of himself, never to offend but always to be true. Captain Fantastic also opens up about his experience with schizophrenia, describing it through the metaphor of an orchestra, how sometimes the music is off, and how he’s learned to recognize those moments and bring the sound back in tune. It’s a conversation about authenticity, resilience, and the beauty of finding harmony within.

Getting To Know My Mailman

Published 4 Dec 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] He knows I have snacks. He knows I normally have snacks. I handle snacks today. How I like to end it is ask the person walking with do you have one last message for my audience? Try to be kind to others because you never know what may come out of everything. Every interaction that you make. Yeah. Try to be courteous to one another because right now we are living in uncertain times. So we don't know when our next helping hand is going to come from just a random stranger off the street. I admit my day has been enlightened and better because I met you on the street. And it's been a day. It has been a day being out here. […]
