11 years sober, I bring my experience as an in-rehab recovery coach & actor to explore addiction, alcoholism, recovery & mental health. You don’t need to lose everything or wait to hit a stereotypical ‘rock bottom’ to change — recovery begins when you can no longer ignore the pain. Featured in The Week’s Ultimate Podcast List of 2024, I know first-hand that rock bottom moments can be the greatest teacher & a springboard for a beautiful life. I interview people who’ve survived and thrived through adversity, offering insights and hard-earned lessons to show that there is hope and a way out.
