Doug Sands describes himself as a hypnotist, adventurer, and mental health advocate. He runs the Making Meaning Podcast; a show about how adventurous people have overcome struggles to reach their dreams. As a hypnotist, he focuses on assisting clients with mental health battles such as anxiety and depression. He’s faced both of these, so he is equipped to provide some expertise on this subject and its his personal mission. As a traveler, he focuses on outdoor adventures i.e. hiking, climbing, skiing, and more. As a Buddhist and philosopher, he’s been examining the big questions of life for decades. That's where the name of his podcast comes from - he believes we all make our own individual meaning out of life. He joined me this week to tell me more.  You can follow Doug and his podcast on Instagram   @makingyourmeaning
