In this episode, we sit down with Sean McMullen—better known as ‘Saltwater Sean’—a passionate photographer, musician, and avid diver who spends his time exploring Nova Scotian waterways in search of hidden treasures. From old bottles to action figures, Sean has uncovered some truly fascinating relics, but today, we're focusing on a different side of his journey.
After a diving accident, Sean was left coping with hearing loss and tinnitus, the constant ringing in his ear that has become a relentless part of his daily life. In this candid and vulnerable conversation, Sean opens up about his personal struggles with these invisible conditions and the emotional toll they take. His story resonates deeply with our host, Kristen, who also lives with tinnitus, creating an instant bond between the two.
Sean's openness sheds light on the challenges of living with a condition that’s often unseen by others. His courage to speak out aims to support anyone who feels isolated by similar experiences, reminding us that even the smallest moments in life can be forever changed by invisible illnesses.
This episode is a heartfelt and powerful conversation for anyone navigating difficult times, seeking a sense of understanding, support, and connection. Tune in for an inspiring discussion about resilience, empathy, and the importance of feeling seen.
