Description

Take It From Us is the voice of lived experience. In this podcast, you'll hear real people share honest stories about mental health, addiction, trauma and recovery - straight from their own journeys.


They'll tell you what actually worked, what didn't, and what they wish they'd known sooner.


Host Kent Johns is a former broadcaster-turned-health-coach who believes everyone has a story to tell if people take the time to really listen. 


So settle in, you're going to hear some stories. Take it from us - and from them.
