S12Ep19 - Ambulances, Addiction, and a Mic — Von Sprecken’s Story
On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest Keith Von Sprecken in the studio.
Little bit about Von’s story from him:
Raised in abusive home, general trauma from modern life, got into drugs at a young age, got clean, and was in the hospital for suicidal ideation. Ended up working on an ambulance and made a big turnaround. However then I lost my brother to suicide. I am currently a comedian and activist for mental health.
Short bio:
As part of lifelong dedication to making his life more difficult than it needs to be, Von knew he had to become an artist.
Having honed an ability to laugh at nearly anything from years of dealing with traumatic events (both in his own life and in those he helped as a first responder), Von crafted a wild theory - that anything can be funny (if you just look at it weirdly). After a few years of learning to apply this theory to some of the most difficult struggles of his life…the result is nothing short of magical. Join Von on an intense and outrageous ride as you laugh your way through fear, confusion, and adrenaline - but also love, hope, connection, and what it means to heal.
