Fighting the Darkness by Sharing your light.
So many of us battle depression and anxiety on a regular basis or know someone that does. Making it even more difficult is the fact that most fight their “Darkness” in secret. Chris Hawkey was one of those people until an unlikely scenario led him to bring his battle into the light. Chris will talk about how going public with his depression helped him with his own mental health issues. He’ll also reveal how each of us can help ourselves and those we love to bring our own darkness into the light.

When your dreams are crushed, how do you come back stronger?
The singular pursuit of a dream is needed to accomplish big and bold things. But what happens when the dream is taken away through no fault of your own? How do you recalibrate what you want and find new dreams and goals? Chris Hawkey was on his way to becoming a national recording artist with the band Rocket Club when he was told right before signing a record deal that they wanted someone younger. And just like that everything changed. Now, 15 years later, Hawkey is part of one of the most successful radio shows in the country, travels with the Vikings and sings regularly to thousands of people along with helping raise money for causes across the Midwest, especially around mental health. Hear from Chris about his journey from that moment in Nashville when his future changed.
