In a world obsessed with diagnoses and clinical definitions, are we missing the true potential of human connection? This week, Mastery Vibes: Peer Support Unleashed challenges conventional wisdom with a provocative discussion on lived experience and the transformative power of peer support.

Join hosts Robyn Priest and Charlotte Armstrong as they sit down with Will MacPherson, a trailblazer in harm reduction and peer support from Salt Spring Island. Will offers a unique perspective on mental health, spirituality, and the vital role of genuine connection.

William MacPherson, also known as Willie B, formerly promoted battle rap for King of the Dot Entertainment. He has since become a dedicated mental health advocate and activist, working full-time as an outreach worker and serving as Program Coordinator for the Salt Spring Mental Wellness Initiative. Privately, Willie B hones his skills as a rapper and singer, choosing not to release music publicly. He finds profound health benefits and joy in his musical practice with each song.

William advocates for the transformational potential of peer support in mental health care and hopes to amplify other voices through public speaking. His story underscores that his incredible healing journey was made possible by a foundation of privilege. Committed to destigmatizing mental health trauma, William emphasizes providing unconditional care as essential for well-being.
