Everyone has a second story, some people have a few. It’s the story we create after we’ve had that moment in our lives that move us in a different direction. For some people, its personal, they lose a loved one, or they find one. For others, it is professional, they chase a dream, or they miss out on one. Its what we do after that often defines the direction our life will go. Are you going to rest on your laurels? Or push even harder. Are you going to sit and stew, or stand up and fight? Are you going to stop at one story? Or are you going to re-write your own history? This is Second Story.

What Happens When You Can't Outwork Your Mind | Examining ADHD, Anxiety & More
<p>In this deeply personal episode of Second Story, Josh opens up about one of the most challenging years of his life. After being diagnosed with ADHD, while also dealing with mental health struggles, chronic pain, and the prospect of double hip surgery—he reflects on what it feels like to finally put names to struggles he's carried for decades.</p><p>The conversation explores the grief and relief that come with a late diagnosis. Josh shares how people-pleasing, overworking, perfectionism, and the constant need to earn approval weren't personality traits at all—they were survival mechanisms. Through therapy and self-reflection, he's beginning to understand how childhood experiences, trauma, and undiagnosed ADHD shaped the person he became and why happiness often felt just out of reach, even during life's best moments.</p><p>This episode is an honest look at mental health, masculinity, burnout, and the pressure many adults feel to have everything figured out. It's a conversation for anyone who feels stuck in survival mode, wonders why life feels harder than it should, or is learning that healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about finally understanding who you've been all along.</p><p>Follow us at: <br>LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/secondstorypodcast<br>Insta: https://www.instagram.com/secondstorypod/<br>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@second.story.podc<br>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093169098270</p><p>Follow Josh Cybulski at:</p><p>Insta: https://www.instagram.com/authorjoshcybulski/<br>Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuthorJCybulski<br>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jfactor12<br>Buy Josh’s Book: https://www.amazon.ca/Second-Story-Work-Josh-Cybulski/dp/B08JF5M3MN/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1706931882&sr=8-1<br>Listen to Josh’s Audiobook Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/second-story-work-the-novel/id1712487814</p><p>Follow Corey Leckie at:</p><p>Insta: https://www.instagram.com/leckie_corey/<br>Business Insta: https://www.instagram.com/frameworks_media</p><p>#crisis #secondstory #growth #growing #redeemed #redemptionseries #redemptionarc #motivation #reallife #depression #adhd #anxiety #mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #mentalhealthstruggles</p>

<p>In this episode, Chris shares his journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, discussing the emotional challenges, strategic steps, and mindset shifts involved in making a successful transition. <br>Chris was making $200K a year in his corporate job just four months ago when he was laid off in January 2026.

Chris stepped back, took time to reset, and quickly pivoted to a work outside the system in which he controls his time, his moves, and what his future looks like. <br>You are going to get a lot from Chris as he offers practical advice on overcoming fear, leveraging social media, and building sustainable income streams outside of corporate employment. </p><p>This is Chris' Second Story...</p><p>Follow us at: <br>LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/secondstorypodcast<br>Insta: https://www.instagram.com/secondstorypod/<br>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@second.story.podc<br>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093169098270</p><p>Follow Josh Cybulski at:</p><p>Insta: https://www.instagram.com/authorjoshcybulski/<br>Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuthorJCybulski<br>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jfactor12<br>Buy Josh’s Book: https://www.amazon.ca/Second-Story-Work-Josh-Cybulski/dp/B08JF5M3MN/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1706931882&sr=8-1<br>Listen to Josh’s Audiobook Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/second-story-work-the-novel/id1712487814</p><p>Follow Corey Leckie at:</p><p>Insta: https://www.instagram.com/leckie_corey/<br>Business Insta: https://www.instagram.com/frameworks_media</p><p>Follow Make It Work Chris at: </p><p>Insta: https://www.instagram.com/makeitworkchris/<br>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@makeitworkchris<br>Website: https://escapecorporatenow.com</p><p>Credits: Original Music By Recent Rumors</p><p>Follow Recent Rumors:</p><p>Find the track Coka here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMvpwncgwC0)<br>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/recentrumors/?hl=en<br>Stuck In My Head album: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/recentrumors/stuck-in-my-head/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAac0YOQcnMHk8Fimez_iqNxtXSuBTkPJDTsliHT_q85UfVgzBbObxxzQVaGY8A_aem_OFXm0X9FgvSl78A7p7DhdQ<br>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@recentrumors3867</p><p>Chapters</p><p>00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction<br>01:17 Chris's Journey from Fitness to Corporate<br>03:37 Transitioning to Entrepreneurship<br>08:39 The Panic of Leaving Corporate<br>09:49 Dealing with Depression and Anxiety<br>12:17 The Importance of Planning and Structure<br>13:55 Balancing Productivity and Leisure<br>20:53 The Role of Coaching in Transition<br>26:59 Support from Medical Professionals<br>27:50 Navigating Corporate Mental Health Programs<br>28:45 The Neo Phase: Awakening to Reality<br>29:32 Identity and Job Security: The Emotional Struggle<br>31:38 The Impact of Social Media on Corporate Life<br>33:38 Creating Content: The Art of Engagement<br>35:21 Batching Content: Secrets to Consistency<br>38:28 Overcoming Mistakes: Learning from Failure<br>40:33 Building Skills While in Corporate<br>43:22 Taking Action: The Importance of Execution<br>46:08 Empowerment: Making the Leap to Change</p><p>#crisis #secondstory #redemption #growth #growing #redeemed #redemptionseries #redemptionarc #motivation #reallife #overcomingadversity #overcomingchallenges #overcomingobstacles #overcoming #redemption #phenomenon #PersonalGrowth</p>
