Sam O'Hara Childs is an actor, writer, and photographer who's always chasing the next adventure. Sam contacted us following our Cosplay podcast; he's best known for playing Union Jack in a web series inspired by the Marvel universe. We were delighted to hear he wanted to share his personal story with us, with "story" being the operative word.
Sam believes that owning the narrative of your life is a powerful tool for transformation and recovery. In a conversation with Em Flint he explains what it's meant to him and how it could help you. We talk about bipolar, OCD, rehabilitation, crisis, and transformation.
Thanks to Sam for writing an accompanying recovery story for our archives, "What Is A Hero?"
If you want to connect with or learn more about Sam, you can visit his production company channel Stonewall Toda.
