Average Joseph Podcast

by Joseph

Hey everyone! My name is Joseph Carter. I have spent most of my life trying to understand the world we live in. My journey has introduced me to faith, military service, a career in mental health, and huge servings of humility as a result of various trials, failures, time spent living life on life's terms. Despite what many would consider a successful life, I find myself realizing more and more that my place in this world is... well - average, and I'm ok with that. I have learned to enjoy what I enjoy, and I find contentment in being able to share these experiences with others. Which brings me to this podcast. As a therapist, I have learned that listening and asking the right questions, with the simple intention to understand, is in fact valuable. For me, this podcast is another way I can share this experience with others. I am simply an average Joe that wants to listen, learn, and facilitate this process for others. So feel free to stick around, and hopefully we can learn together!<
