Breakthrough

Two polar opposites with supposedly different minds sit down to discuss how different they really are. Join in to hear two former enemies, now turned BFFs, expose their thoughts on a variety of different topics; from mental health journeys, to exploring fears, and everything in between. On Breakthrough, we try to find a middle ground on topics where we don't see eye to eye. Come back every Sunday to listen in on the conversation!
