About this listen

The Walking Tall Podcast was created by two separate mass shooting survivors and heroes from their events, and a respected mental health doctor who all joined forces to share their own stories of adversity and strength, and then how they learned how to Walk Tall after being knocked down. Their guests will share their struggles and how they defied the odds to learn how to Walk Tall again in various categories of mental health. This podcast will spread a message of strength, togetherness, love, and support. In a time of despair, there is hope and a community of people that will help lift you up and Walk Tall for you until you can Walk Tall on your own. The "Walking Tall Movement" is here, and we are ready to Walk Tall for you and then with you.
