The Power to Create Yourself

Can you believe we're already in March?! This is the time of year when its easy to give up on the goals we set at New Years, or to once again find ourselves caught up in work and travel and forgetting to practice good self care. Tune in this week for an inspiring client story that will jumpstart your motivation! Ross is joined by Julie, who is currently in treatment for substance addiction. As with all folks in recovery, Julie has a unique tale with elements to which we can all relate. Ross and Julie will talk about the work done in treatment and how the tools we acquire can transcend to other goals we set in life.

The only thing more challenging than battling one addiction, is battling several. Today's guest, Fabian, shares his struggle to break free from substance abuse while also battling a love addiction. How do treatments for these separate dependencies overlap? How does one identify when one addiction is fueling another? Ross helps Fabian unpack the link between his struggles, and Fabian shares the events and circumstances that led him to seek help for both. The two will also talk about the distinction between being sober and being clean. Ross' treatment philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that no two individuals are the same, and therefore the same treatment plan rarely works for two different people. Let's talk about how to get you or your loved ones on the right path to address specific needs, and begin to enjoy a clean, sober and happy lifestyle!

This week Ross is joined by Jay, a young man who has achieved not just sobriety, but a happy, active lifestyle and a thriving career in the recovery field. Jay will share his story and the particular tools and methods that allowed him to break free from addiction. Jay is an accomplished MMA fighter and trainer, and has found that the skills and discipline he uses as a fighter aid him in recovery, and the tools he learned in recovery have enhanced his training. Jay is living proof that wellness exists when the mind, body and soul are working in tandem.

Have you ever tried to achieve something, but kept getting knocked down so much that you decided to quit? We've all been there, and this week's guest Kaylie is no exception. She and Ross will discuss resilience and the importance of never losing faith in your goal or yourself. Kaylie is 32 days sober, and in treatment for the third time working to free herself from an addiction to heroin and benzos. She'll share her story of a near-fatal car accident that she doesn't even remember, and how it lead to the wake up call she needed. It doesn't matter how many times we try and fail; all that matters is that we keep trying because eventually change will happen!
