🎙️ Podcast Bio (for reading Promises episode)

“My name is Leo Lothbrock, and I walk the path of recovery — a warrior’s path.

I’ve known the chaos, the loneliness, the battles of addiction. I’ve walked through fire and nearly lost it all, but today I stand in the light of something greater.

This podcast isn’t about perfection. It’s about truth. It’s about the fight — the fight to change, the fight to grow, the fight to live.

When I read the Promises, I don’t read them as fairy tales. I read them as lived experience, as hope carved into the soul of every warrior who chooses to rise again.

Here, we don’t just speak recovery. We live it. We breathe it. We carry it into the world as a weapon against the darkness.

So listen close, brothers and sisters. The Promises are not distant dreams — they are real. And I am proof that they can be

yours too.”
