From Addiction, Shame & Suicide To Finding Purpose with Eth Power
What happens when the life and soul of the party can no longer escape himself?
In this episode of On a Mission, Eth Power joins Ellie McKay for a raw and deeply honest conversation about addiction, shame, identity, self destruction and recovery.
For years, alcohol and drugs were at the centre of Eth’s life. What began as chasing confidence, connection and escapism eventually spiralled into chaos, leaving him battling addiction, suicidal thoughts and overwhelming shame.
Eth opens up about the reality of addiction, the choices he made whilst under the influence, the guilt that followed, and why he believes cocaine is ultimately a drug fuelled by shame.
This conversation goes far beyond sobriety.
We explore what happens when your entire identity is built around being the entertainer, the party animal and the person everyone expects you to be. We discuss the difficult process of rebuilding your life, learning to sit with uncomfortable emotions, forgiving yourself for the past and finding purpose beyond external validation.
Most importantly, we discuss how peace is often found on the other side of the very things we’ve spent years trying to avoid.
