Episode 34: Severn the Creator

He grew up searching for connection with a father lost in the shadows of schizophrenia. When love felt unreachable, he turned to alcohol to fill the silence. But inside the chaos, creativity became his lifeline. A writer. A playwright. A hairstylist. A man reshaping pain into art - all while battling dyslexia and the demons of addiction.

After 12 years of sobriety, his story comes full circle; his first play, titled "We saved you a seat" opens in theaters in January. This a story about the cost of escape, the beauty of creation, and the quiet redemption found in facing the truth.
