Formerly From Struggle 2 Strength. Same voices. Same honesty. A bigger conversation.
Brought to you by Dave and Mike, two former British Army servicemen whose lives have taken them through trauma, addiction, recovery, resilience and everything in between.
Dave survived the blast of a suicide bomber while serving in Afghanistan and later faced his own battle with gambling addiction. Mike emerged from the grip of drug and alcohol addiction and is now over three and a half years in recovery. Their individual journeys remain at the heart of the podcast, not as polished success stories, but as lived proof that people can rebuild, reconnect and keep going.
After nearly 4,000 downloads as From Struggle 2 Strength, the podcast is entering a new chapter.
From The Shed keeps the raw honesty, humour and openness that listeners connected with, but widens the conversation beyond struggle alone. Each episode brings real talk about life, recovery, relationships, mental health, parenting, identity, everyday frustrations, daft tangents and the strange little moments that make us human.
This is not a podcast pretending to have all the answers.
It is two mates pulling up a chair, sticking the kettle on and talking openly about the things people often keep bottled up. Sometimes it is deep. Sometimes it is funny. Sometimes it goes completely off track. But it is always honest.
For the listeners who have been with us from the beginning, we are still here. Still talking. Still rising. We have just moved into the shed.
Pull up a chair. Say what’s on your mind. Welcome to From The Shed.
