Ep: 33 The Joint that Changed Everything: A Psychotic Episode After Legal Synthetic THC

What happens when a product that's sold legally ends up changing your life in an instant? In this episode of Trotting Thru Life, Hunter Stinson shares his deeply personal story of experiencing a psychotic episode after smoking a joint containing synthetic THC that was purchased legally from a Tennessee smoke shop. Hunter walks us through the events leading up to that night, the frightening mental and emotional symptoms that followed, and the impact the experience had on his health, relationships, and recovery. Together, we discuss the growing popularity of synthetic cannabinoid products, the misconceptions many people have about products sold legally, and why understanding what you're putting into your body matters. This conversation isn't about fear or judgment—it's about awareness, education, and hearing one person's real-life experience so others can make informed decisions. In This Episode We Discuss: • Hunter's experience with synthetic THC • What happened during his psychotic episode • The challenges of recovery and healing • Why "legal" doesn't always mean risk-free • Questions consumers should ask about products they purchase • Lessons learned from a life-changing experience This is a powerful story of resilience, recovery, and the importance of being informed about what we consume.

Ep. 32 More Than Pest Control: Creating a Safer, Calmer Home Environment

What if creating a healthier home had less to do with perfection—and more to do with peace of mind? In this episode of Trotting Thru Life, I sit down with David Dorfman, co-founder of Rodent Stop, to talk about the surprising connection between our home environment, stress levels, and overall wellness. Inspired by recent conversations on the podcast about how our spaces shape our health and habits, David shares how clutter, maintenance issues, food storage, and even small household habits can affect not only rodent prevention—but also our sense of calm, safety, and well-being at home. Unlike traditional pest control approaches that rely heavily on harsh chemicals and temporary fixes, David focuses on sustainable, education-first strategies that empower families, pet owners, and homeowners to create healthier living environments naturally. This conversation goes far beyond rodents. We explore how our homes influence our nervous systems, daily stress, routines, and quality of life—and how small changes can create a home that feels more peaceful, supportive, and aligned with overall wellness. In This Episode, We Talk About: * The connection between your home environment and stress * Simple ways to create a healthier, calmer living space * Sustainable and family-friendly rodent prevention * Everyday habits that may unknowingly attract pests * Why “home wellness” matters for your overall health 🎧 Tune in for practical tips and a fresh perspective on creating a home environment that truly supports your health and peace of mind.
