Nail-biting and inspirational, this is the extraordinary true story of how they survived the crossing.

In 2020, Paul Harris aka 'The Warrior Walker' set off on a walking pilgrimage around the UK that would rebuild his life from rock bottom and change the way he saw the world forever. With only £300 in his pocket and a 30-kilo rucksack on his back, Paul decided to leave his life as he knew it and took up wild camping, slept rough, struggled along the coast paths of Devon, Cornwall and Wales in the sideways rain, and wading through knee-high snowdrifts around the Scottish islands and the burning summer sun on England's east coast. Walking was therapy. Nature was restorative.

With unflinching honesty, he recounts the chaos of eight rehabs, jail cells, and a shattered family, each step deeper into the abyss threatening to consume him entirely. Yet, as Austin's world burns—literally and figuratively—a flicker of hope emerges, pulling him toward a truth he never expected to find.

Chronically Awkward is not a story told for sympathy — it’s a story told for truth. It is a raw, unfiltered account of one person’s lifelong attempt to exist in a world that keeps insisting on rules he never agreed to play by. Jason takes listeners through the tangled intersections of autism, ADHD, trauma, and chronic illness — through the systems that failed him, the people who shaped him, and the quiet victories that kept him here. It’s both memoir and mirror; a reminder that surviving isn’t the same as living, and that sometimes we only find who we are after everything else falls apart.
