In this episode of the Addict to Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson interviews Tyson Steed, who shares his journey through addiction, recovery, and creating the Ashley and Michelle Project nonprofit. He was in and out of prison for two decades where he was introduced to the Addict II Athlete program at the Conquest program at the Utah State Prison. He has seen the benefit of sports in his addiction recovery journey. He now works a lot with the Ashley Michelle Project, helping women coming out of incarceration and who struggle with addiction. Tyson discusses his childhood struggles, the impact of family dynamics, and the transition from casual substance use to harder drugs. He reflects on his experiences with the law, therapy, and the turning point that led him to seek help. Tyson shares some of the changes he had to make to turn his life around. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community, connection, and the power of personal transformation in recovery.
