“You can’t always control the storm, but you can control how you walk through the rain.”
Mental health, resilience, and healing take center stage in this heartfelt episode of No Street Lights Podcast as Aaron and Tim sit down with their close friend Pookie. His journey is a powerful reminder that strength doesn’t come from avoiding pain—but from learning how to grow through it.
Pookie opens up about the battles he’s fought—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—and how he’s come to find peace in accepting what he can’t control, while fighting fiercely to improve what he can. This episode is about reclaiming power, leaning into discomfort, and rediscovering hope one step at a time.
What You’ll Find in This Episode:
• Pookie’s personal journey through hardship and healing
• The mindset shift from reaction to intention
• Letting go of what you can’t control
• How to find strength in community and shared pain
