In 2011, 22 year old Troy Hall was young, fit, and working hard to turn his life around after years of addiction and violence.
Then, on a rainy day in Tauranga, everything changed: A freak accident involving overhead power lines left him clinically dead, twice.
What followed was months in hospital, countless surgeries, extreme burns, the loss of body parts, and a long road through depression, trauma, and recovery.
In this emotional and brutally honest chat, Troy opens up about his old life in gang culture, his near-death experience, and the grueling mental and physical recovery that followed.
He talks candidly about suicidal thoughts, fatherhood, body image, self-worth, and how it’s taken him over a decade to finally feel proud of himself.
I feel like the words ‘raw’ and ‘powerful’ get a bit overused in the podcast space these days. But this conversation is most definitely those things.
Troy's story is one of resilience, perspective, healing, and the power of surrounding yourself with the right people.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling stuck, hopeless, or not good enough—this episode is for you.
