At the same time, Clinton was dealing with a traumatic brain injury, memory loss, and being told he showed early signs of dementia. Two different paths. One common question: how do you actually heal? Together, they open up about: * Narcolepsy and daily life with it * Brain injury and cognitive decline * Trauma and how it shows up in the body * Exploring psychedelics and plant medicine as tools for healing * Breaking patterns and rebuilding from the ground up This episode is about real experiences, honest conversations, and what it looks like to face yourself and come out stronger. 🎙️ Follow Slap Son Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/welcome2slapson [https://www.instagram.com/welcome2slapson] YouTube: @Slap_Son 🎧 The Front Porch Chronicles with Clinton Foshee Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0k5SQNFhFg3Uwh23n0vWnd [https://open.spotify.com/show/0k5SQNFhFg3Uwh23n0vWnd] Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frontporchchronicles/id1714869553 👇 Follow Clinton Foshee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clintonfosheeofficial/ [https://www.instagram.com/clintonfosheeofficial/] Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-front-porch-chronicles--5999017/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-front-porch-chronicles--5999017/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss]. 🎙 Front Porch Chronicles Real conversations.
