Squeezing THE PLUMS with Steven Singh
by Steve Singh
A few years ago I was standing shirtless and frightened in the middle of a psychedelic ceremony. I was desperate to find the answers to why i was suffering from the world’s most painful headache condition. After 16 years of torture, oxygen tanks in my bedroom and carrying epi-pens on dates, I was ready to get rid of this nightmare pain. I share this experience in my very first episode. I decided to create Squeezing The Plums from the learnings I gathered in that ceremony. I wanted to create a place where men could share their stories, knowledge & opinions to develop the next generation of man
