Have you ever struggled with finding your own path, or felt unsure about what step to take next, or which direction your life should go? You might be feeling like Nightwing, a superhero who used to go by the name of Robin, and trained under Batman. After Bruce Wayne cut ties with Robin, Dick Grayson had to decide which path to take next, and how to become his own superhero.
On this weeks episode, I had an amazing time talking with Brandon Marino, an actor and martial artist who has a deep connection with Nightwing. We break down some of our favorite qualities about Nightwing and how he inspires us both. Brandon and I also discuss trauma, recovering from toxic relationships, the benefits of therapy and so much more.

In this episode, Matt shares a few ideas about how our anger can be used as a way to cover up the pain of feeling ignored, unimportant, or unloved. When we are unable to validate ourselves, we may eventually turn to invalidating others through anger to find comfort.
