In this powerful episode of The Sovereign Soul Podcast, I sit down with Al Richards, founder of The Other Side of Addiction Podcast and an internationally certified crisis and recovery coach. Al shares his incredible journey—from battling a weekend alcohol and cocaine addiction to losing his job of 24 years, and ultimately stepping into his purpose as a speaker, mentor, and advocate for addiction recovery.

We dive deep into:

🔹 The moment Al realized he was telling the wrong story—and how owning his truth changed everything

🔹 The role of ego and fear in keeping us stuck (and how to move through it)

🔹 The power of surrender, letting go, and trusting the process

🔹 How Al’s Healing Utah Success Summit and Addiction Resilience Collective (ARC) are creating real change in the recovery community

🔹 Why feeling your emotions, instead of suppressing them, is the key to transformation

This conversation is raw, real, and full of wisdom for anyone navigating challenges, whether in addiction, personal growth, or stepping into their purpose.

🎧 Tune in now and be inspired to own your story, step into your truth, and embrace the journey ahead!
