Every morning, I wake up and have to pinch myself. Is this beautiful home by the beach, these loving relationships, this second chance at motherhood—is it all real? The contrast to where I was just a few years ago seems impossible.

My journey from kidney specialist to homeless addict selling my body for drugs nearly killed me—literally. With staph sepsis ravaging my body and my family waiting for the call that I had died, I hit a devastating bottom few survive. But that devastation created the foundation for the beautiful, serene life I live today.

Recovery wasn't what I expected. While many describe constant battles with urges and cravings, my experience was different. One day, I simply looked at methamphetamine and realized it brought me nothing but misery and loss. The euphoria was gone. What remained was a clarity that changed everything: I was done. Not through heroic willpower, but through a fundamental shift in perception that made drugs irrelevant to who I was becoming.

This podcast explores addiction as a spiritual malady that requires spiritual solutions. I'll share how rebuilding my life from absolute zero taught me to live authentically, without pretense. How reconnecting with my physical health through fitness revealed the body's remarkable resilience. How growing my own food and rejecting processed alternatives became part of my healing. And most importantly, how forming honest connections with others created the rich tapestry of relationships I cherish today.

Whether you're struggling with addiction, loving someone who is, or simply interested in transformation, Recovery Cast offers wisdom from the trenches. My story proves that rock bottom can become the solid foundation for building something beautiful. Subscribe now to join me on this journey of authentic recovery, where hope isn't just a concept—it's the lived reality I never thought possible.
