Episode 2 - The Things I Couldn’t Outrun
<p>In Episode 2 of ReActivated, Michael gets more honest than he probably should. In “The Things I Couldn’t Outrun,” he opens up about childhood instability, identity, mental health struggles, addiction, politics, marriage, divorce, and fatherhood—and the hard truth that the parts of ourselves we refuse to face never stay contained.
