Some people talk about darkness.
Others have lived it long enough to understand what it means to come face to face with their own mortality.
In this episode of The View From Here, I sit down with Nick Midgley, a man whose life has moved through addiction, recovery, single fatherhood, and profound personal reckoning, and who now dedicates his work to helping others find their way back to themselves.
Nick speaks with raw honesty about the moments where life flashes before your eyes, when the weight of your choices can no longer be avoided.
When a second chance demands more than survival, it demands responsibility.
We explore identity, pressure, fatherhood, and what it really takes to rebuild a life from the inside out.
This conversation isn’t about fixing, saving, or pretending the darkness didn’t exist.
It’s about perspective earned through lived experience and what becomes possible when you choose to step back into the light.
This one goes deep.
