Running From Pain & Learning to Heal | Zac Hansen | EP30
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Zac’s childhood was marked by instability, addiction, violence, and emotional chaos. Even before losing his father to a drug overdose at just 11 years old, experiences that left him living in survival mode for years, suppressing emotions, chasing external success, and trying to outrun the pain he carried from childhood.
In this episode, trade business owner and mental health advocate, Zac, opens up about growing up around addiction, violence, and instability, and how those experiences shaped the man he became. From working brutal roofing jobs as a teenager to building a successful business with 20 staff, Zac shares the hidden emotional cost of always needing to be “strong.”
Together, Geoff and Zac explore trauma, masculinity, emotional suppression, relationships, spirituality, and what it actually means to heal.
Zac also speaks powerfully about the mental health crisis within the trades industry, the pressure we carry in silence, and why vulnerability may be one of the bravest things we can do.
This is a conversation about pain, purpose, self-awareness, and learning that real strength comes from facing yourself honestly.
