In this special reflection, Dominic steps away from the usual storytelling format to speak directly with listeners. After the powerful response to Episode 105, where we shared Nia's story, Dominic opens up about the impact that episode had on his own mental health—and why Mental Health Rewritten exists in the first place.
He shares the outpouring of messages from listeners who connected deeply with Nia's journey, and how those words of gratitude also brought a heavy reminder: that even in telling these stories, healing is not linear. The weight of these conversations can stir up personal emotions, and sometimes, stepping back is necessary.
Dominic talks honestly about his brief hiatus, the importance of decompressing, and how he rediscovered a grounding practice—flying drones—that has helped him regulate, reset, and return with clarity. It's a reminder that even storytellers and advocates need space to breathe.
As he prepares to launch Episode 106, Dominic invites listeners to continue walking with him on this journey. Expect more moments of check-ins, reflections, and honest conversations about mental health—not as side notes, but as part of the process itself.
