Matt is a father, performer, podcast host, and mental health advocate who believes in the power of honest conversation. With a background in theater and a master's in psychology, he brings both heart and depth to every episode of Mental Notes with Matt. But his real expertise doesn’t come from textbooks, it comes from lived experience.
Over the years, Matt has faced some of life’s toughest curveballs: divorce, addiction in the family, and the quiet battles of anxiety and self-doubt. Through it all, he’s kept one hand on the mic and the other reaching toward something real. This podcast is part of that reach, a place to reflect, connect, and say the things most people are afraid to say out loud.
Each episode blends vulnerable storytelling with meaningful insights, whether it's a solo reflection or a raw conversation with someone who’s walked through the fire and come out changed. Matt is not a therapist, but he’s someone who gets it. And he’s committed to building a space where you feel less alone in your own messy, beautiful process.
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding yourself, and finding a little bit of grace along the way.
