Today we sat down with the incredibly wise mental health expert, author, and radio personality, Dr. John Deloney. With a passion for helping people thrive in their relationships, John tackles various questions from callers live on his podcast, “The Dr. John Deloney Show.” We brought some of those unique and challenging questions onto this episode and included additional questions sent in by our audience! After spending over twenty years in crisis response and finding real solutions and freedom in his own wellness journey, John knew he wanted to help as many people as possible heal from their past trauma and live whole, connected lives. We think he’s doing an amazing job at this and we hope this episode is enlightening! :) Follow our podcast Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/shawnandandrewpods/ Subscribe to our newsletter ▶ https://www.familymade.com/newsletter Follow My Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/ShawnJohnson Follow My Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@shawnjohnson Shop My LTK Page ▶ https://www.shopltk.com/explore/shawnjohnson Like the Facebook page! ▶ https://www.facebook.com/ShawnJohnson Follow Andrew’s Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/AndrewDEast Andrew’s Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@andrewdeast?lang=en
