Al Interviews Kody Green | Motivational Speaker & Content Creator with Over 1M Followers on TikTok (The Schizophrenic Hippie)
In this episode, Al interviews Kody Green, motivational speaker and content creator with over one million followers on TikTok, where he is known as The Schizophrenic Hippie (recorded 12-2-22). Kody shares the challenges of being raised by a single mother who was living with schizoaffective disorder. He shares that, even knowing the symptoms of serious mental illness, he didn't seek out for help immediately when he was struggling with symptoms similar to his mother.
In order to shut down the auditory and visual hallucinations, Kody took to any drugs he could get his hands on. Fearful of sleep, he would take uppers and stay awake for days at a time. Finally, after being incarcerated for nearly a year due to injuring a driver in another vehicle after he had fallen asleep at the wheel, Kody knew he needed to reach out for help.
Kody decided to start documenting his own story through videos for his own learning. Little did he know, those videos would lead him to become a TikTok sensation with over one million followers. You'll find Kody on TikTok @SchizophrenicHippie, where he educates people on the topic of schizophrenia. Sometimes using incredibly funny humor, Kody shares his lived experience and wealth of knowledge to support those living with schizophrenia and their family members and friends. Kody is incredibly intelligent and down-to-earth and many people are clearly benefiting from his very vulnerable approach to advocacy.
Kody is in the process of writing a book titled, Mentally Ill Influencer, where he helps others better understand how to use TikTok, YouTube, and other social media platforms to advocate for mental illness. If you'd like to learn more about Kody, check out his website at KodyGreen.com.
