High Fives: The Punk Guide To Wellness
John Simpson has been a fixture in the punk scene for years, but High Fives: The Punk Guide To Wellness isn't about three-chord anthems. It's a raw, often funny, and deeply personal journal from someone who knows the grind of mental health struggles as intimately as the inside of a dive bar. This podcast operates on a simple, scrappy principle: taking care of your head is the most rebellious act there is. Each episode feels like a conversation in a back alley, where topics range from the absurdities of daily life to the hard-won tactics for fighting depression, all filtered through a lens of punk ethos and dark humor. You'll hear candid stories about failure, small victories, and the messy work of building resilience without selling out or pretending to have it all figured out. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt out of step with shiny, mainstream self-help advice and needs a genuine, gritted-teeth companion on the path to feeling slightly more human. Tune in for a dose of reality that’s as far from a corporate wellness seminar as you can get.
