We’re bringing back an important conversation for National Recovery Month - an encore presentation of last year’s podcast on addiction recovery. The message is just as timely and powerful today.

Today, we met with author Bryan Wempen to talk about addiction, mental health, and self-exploration. In this episode, we explored Bryan’s transformative experience of overcoming addiction and the profound impact it had on both personal and professional growth. The conversation explored the intricate web of addiction, the powerful force of denial, and the ripple effect on families.

Additionally, Bryan shed light on the prevalent issues of mental health stigma and addiction within the workplace, highlighting the need for compassion and understanding. Ultimately, the episode provides insights into the process of healing and the potential for positive change, offering hope for those navigating similar challenges in their own lives or with a loved one.
