Today, we're joined by the incredibly inspiring and beautifully spoken Owen Unruh! Owen is a Two-Spirit, Nêhiyaw man who is currently recovering from a 10-year addiction. About 6 months ago, Owen started showing up as his most authentic, vulnerable self on social media. Safe to say, people took notice and his following skyrocketed. We chat with Owen about growing up as an adopted queer kid in a white, religious family. He tells us about when his addiction started and how he found the strength to move forward from homelessness and avoidance into sobriety and healing. Owen explains how re-connecting with his Indigenous roots has helped him discover his purpose and his identity as Two-Spirit. It was SUCH an honour to sit down with Owen for this conversation. We learned a hell of a lot, and we hope you do too. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, please know that you're loved and you're not alone. As Owen says, you have the power to make every choice in your life, from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep. Stories like Owen's are proof of that.
