162 - Cutting Toxic Ties: Healing From Family Estrangement w/ Matt Kollock

Healing from childhood trauma and neglect has a new soundtrack...

Matt Kollock is an alt-indie rocker hailing in New Mexico by way of Wisconsin. His second album ‘Family Plot’ will be released on June 21st, 2024 and is inspired by his dysfunctional childhood.

The first part of the album focuses on the trauma and neglect of his childhood as a sheltered, isolated and “too-sensitive” boy. Side two explores the positive transformation the artist has undergone since deciding to “go no contact” with his family of origin.
