SynopsisBroken and fixed aren't words we're supposed to use to describe people. But when you're in it-when your hands hurt like hell but you still manage to fight through another day-that's what broken feels like. For years, my best days were measured by how well I could fool people into thinking I was fine. This story, my story, is one of broken bones, broken hearts, and a broken marriage. It's about walking into a hospital with two collapsed lungs and walking out an opioid addict. It's about failing at therapy, finding comfort in the arms and beds of strangers, and overcoming the guilt and grief of losing my father. For years, I was self-destructive and terrified, but I wasn't ruined. I was just a little bit broken. From hitting rock bottom to finding purpose, falling in love, and becoming a dad. It's all here. Just to be clear, this is not a how-to manual. This isn't a book about self-improvement, reflection, or finding your light. This isn't about filtering the truth. It's about facing it. This is for anybody who isn't ready to give up. We're going to laugh together and cry together because, well, that's life., It never gets better, but it does get easier. That's the first thing Roz says to anyone who asks him for advice. Anyone who's lost, or just putting the pieces back together. When you're broken, fixed becomes an obsession. Roz is a multi-platform entertainer and storyteller who's used to hosting three shows a day on five hours of sleep a night. On The Roz & Mocha Show, ET Canada Live and Entertainment Tonight Canada, Roz built an audience and turned them into family. But as with most families, there is just some shit we don't talk about. From growing up in a small town to getting lost, drunk and terrified in New York; from finding comfort in the arms and beds of strangers to kicking an opioid addiction he didn't know he had; from broken bones to broken hearts and a broken marriage. From navigating grief and guilt following the devastating loss of his father to persevering in the face of an ongoing and private battle with his own body. All is shared in Roz's disarming signature blend of blunt truth and humour. A Little Bit Broken is a deeply personal and inspiring account of self-forgiveness, redemption and recovering from bad choices - because let's face it, the reason we make bad choices is that they usually feel really good. And Roz has made them all.
