#39 "Doctors Hooked Me On Valium At 16!" Michael Cordner’s Battle With Overprescription & Addiction

At just 15, Michael Cordner faced a devastating trauma — the suicide of a young athlete he coached. What followed was a downward spiral into anxiety, depression and overmedication that left him numb and disconnected for years.


In this inspiring conversation, Michael shares his journey from being heavily medicated and losing his sense of self to finding hope and purpose through boxing. His powerful turnaround story led him to create Land the Jab — a boxing-based support program helping young people aged 12 to 21 as an alternative to overprescription of medication.


In this episode, we cover:

  • How Michael’s teenage trauma triggered anxiety, depression, and overprescription.
  • The dangers of Australia’s growing youth overprescription epidemic, and
  • How boxing became a lifeline and a platform for mentoring at-risk youth.


Michael’s story is a powerful reminder that even the darkest chapters can lead to purpose — and that rock bottom can be a catalyst for change.


Watch, listen, and let us know your biggest takeaway.
