Damien shares his transformative journey from battling addiction and bipolar disorder to founding the Coffee Foundation, showing how embracing vulnerability became his path to purpose. His story reveals how our inner voices can either destroy or rebuild us, and why creating spaces for authentic mental health conversations saves lives.

• Finding ourselves on the other side of the world with the same internal issues
• The battle with our inner voice when it becomes destructive
• How mental health stigma and vocabulary prevents open conversation
• Young people struggling to discuss mental health when adults can't model it
• Damien's rock-bottom moment through intestinal surgery and alcohol detox
• Creating the Coffee Foundation to promote mental health conversations
• The power of vulnerability as a superpower that connects us
• Embracing our unique "craziness" as potential strength rather than weakness
• Breaking down the facades we create that prevent authentic connection

If you're struggling with mental health issues, reach out for help. As Damien discovered, sometimes our greatest challenges can become the source of our purpose when we learn to work with our inner voice rather than against it.
