Redefining Recovery: Community, Identity & the Work That Really Matters with Glenn Munso
Manage episode 496125767 series 3677552
This episode is for anyone who’s had to face themselves in the mirror and ask, what comes next?
I sat down with Glenn Munso, founder of the Youth You program—a guy who’s walked the path and now helps young people rebuild their lives after addiction and mental health struggles. What stood out to me about Glenn’s approach is how practical it is. No fluff. No labels. Just solid work—counselling, fitness, mentorship, and most importantly, community.
We talked about what it takes to truly recover: moving past the “I’m just an addict” identity, learning to anchor yourself in values, and showing up—every day—for yourself and others. Glenn’s program doesn’t just get people clean. It helps them integrate back into their lives, step into purpose, and actually build something worth sticking around for.
It’s not easy. But it works.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- Why most recovery programs fail to address identity—and how that holds people back.
- How a non-judgmental community changes everything.
- What it means to realign your actions with your values.
- How physical fitness ties into mental and emotional resilience.
- Why routine and consistency are non-negotiable for long-term change.
