About this listen

Gareth De La Torre shares a brutally honest story of what happened after a head injury led to epilepsy, severe depression, and a point where life felt unbearable. In this episode, we talk about that darkness, the reality of reaching a crisis point, and what it took to start finding a way back.For Gareth, that way back began outdoors. From wild camping to rucking, being outside gave him something solid to hold onto when everything else felt unstable. We talk about how the outdoors has improved his mental health, why challenge can become part of healing, and what recovery can look like when it’s not neat, linear, or quick. A powerful conversation about survival, honesty, and rebuilding a life one step at a time.
