What is Recovery?

More is a raw and intimate space where the relentless pursuit of 'more'-be it escape, numbness, or validation-is examined not as an abstract concept, but as a lived reality. Hosted by individuals who have navigated addiction, mental illness, trauma, and neurodiversity from the inside, this podcast strips away the veneer of polished recovery narratives. You'll hear conversations grounded in the hard-won understanding that comes only after hitting rock bottom and burning old lives to the ground. The rebuilding discussed here follows no manual; it's knowledge forged in personal fire. Each episode offers unscripted dialogue between people who have walked through these experiences, focusing on the ongoing, often messy work of reassembling a life. It’s about the complexities of society and culture as they intersect with personal health, fitness, and mental landscapes, all framed through a lens of gritty, authentic self-improvement. Tuning into this podcast means listening in on discussions where textbook advice falls short, replaced by the nuanced, sometimes contradictory truths of actual lived experience. The dialogue moves freely across categories, from the deeply personal to the broadly societal, always rooted in the conviction that the most valuable lessons are often found in the ashes.
