Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 718

Is it possible to harness an addictive personality and turn it into a powerful fuel source?

Michael Chernow, Founder of Kreatures of Habit, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 718, to reveal how hitting rock bottom led him to discover the ultimate healing power of connection and self-love, why a structured routine can build the foundation for conquering life’s toughest challenges, how to break free from destructive patterns, and why choosing to show up for yourself is the first step toward lasting transformation.

"When you strip away drugs and alcohol from someone who has an addiction, they're left with this ability to commit to anything they put their mind to. They've channeled their superpower down the wrong path and so you give them a little bit of a course correction and the sky's the limit." - Michael Chernow
