From Depression & Feeling Like an Outsider to Authentic Podcasting | Noah May

Noah May is a journalist, podcaster, and storyteller. A graduate of Auburn University with a degree in journalism, he is the host of three podcasts including Leather Venom, where he has honest conversations about life and difficult topics.

Behind his accomplishments is a deeply personal story of overcoming depression, anxiety, self-doubt, and feeling like an outsider. Today, Noah uses his voice to encourage others who may be facing similar struggles — proving that our hardest seasons don’t have to define our future.

In this honest and encouraging conversation, Noah shares:

• What his 20s have taught him about changing dreams

• Why he shifted from traditional journalism to full-time podcasting

• Advice he would give his younger self during the hardest moments

• How opening up about depression and anxiety began his healing

• Why creating vulnerable podcast episodes was more therapeutic than therapy

• Rebuilding confidence after feeling like an outcast

• Why authentic conversations about mental health matter more than ever

If you’re in your 20s carrying depression, anxiety, self-doubt, or the feeling that you don’t belong, this episode is a powerful reminder that you are not alone — and that your voice can become part of your healing.
