From Addiction to Accountability: Chad Taylor on Trauma, Relationships & Recovery

Descripción

“KIDD” sits down with Australian counsellor, psychotherapist, author, and podcast host Chad Taylor for a raw conversation about addiction, trauma, recovery, relationships, self-responsibility, and the patterns that keep us stuck. Chad shares his personal journey through early drinking, family dysfunction, emotional pain, recovery, therapy, and the moment he realized the problem wasn’t just the world around him — it was also the patterns inside him. We also talk about Chad’s book, It’s You. Oh F*ck. It’s Me.: A Therapist’s View on Relationships, a brutally honest look at relationships, projection, avoidance, accountability, and learning how to own your part without destroying yourself in the process. This conversation goes deep into alcoholism, addiction recovery, childhood trauma, spiritual growth, mental health, personal responsibility, and what it really means to become more conscious in your life and relationships.

Fireman Rob: Service, Sacrifice, and Mental Strength

For more than 26 years, Robert Verhelst, better known as Fireman Rob, has dedicated his life to serving others. A career firefighter, U.S. Air Force veteran, author, speaker, coach, Ironman athlete, Guinness World Record holder, and founder of the Fireman Rob Foundation, Rob has built a life around resilience, leadership, and purpose. In this episode of The Kidd & Friends Podcast, we dive into the realities of life as a first responder, the mental health challenges firefighters face, and why true leadership begins with taking ownership of your life. Rob also shares the mission behind his foundation, which provides books, teddy bears, and life-changing character education to children across the country. We also discuss why "balance" is a myth, how resilience is developed through adversity, and what schools should be teaching our kids that often gets overlooked. Whether you're a first responder, parent, coach, entrepreneur, or simply someone striving to become a stronger person, this conversation is filled with practical wisdom and inspiration.
