Episode 104 - Hannah Mountain (Addiction, Recovery & Buddhism)

The Hardcore Archive Podcast

On this episode of the Hardcore Archive Podcast, Greg interviews Hannah Mountain, an addiction councilor and yoga instructor who grew up in the Syracuse hardcore scene. Greg and Hannah discuss their own experiences with mental health and substance abuse recovery, and their origins in childhood trauma. The interview also covers the concept of hardcore as both an art form and a community, and the role both concepts played in Hannah and Greg's formative years and their recoveries later in life. Like many others, hardcore ultimately served as a gateway to Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy for both the host and guest. Because this episode focuses so heavily on eastern religions, No End's track "Avidya" is featured after the credits. This is a great episode for people who are on their own journey of recovery from mental illness, substance abuse, or childhood trauma regardless of whether you are at the beginning of that journey or have been on the path to recovery for many years. That being said, this episode discusses sensitive topics that may not be suitable for every listener. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/enterprise-hardcore-podcast/support
