About Finding Balance Podcast

Welcome to the Punched in the Face Podcast, hosted by Dr. Adrian Mesa. Inspired by Mike Tyson’s words, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face,” we explore the raw and authentic stories of the human experience. Each episode features guests sharing their journeys through unexpected life circumstances that challenge their resilience. These stories of struggle and hope remind us that we all face our own metaphorical punches. Join us as we aim to inspire, break the stigma surrounding mental health, and create a space for honest conversation, connection, and healing.
