Trigger Warning: Suicidal thoughts and behaviour
In this incredibly honest and vulnerable conversation, Jessalynn sits down with Justin Brien, who opens up about his 16-year struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, which brought him to the brink of ending his own life. Justin recounts his journey from a childhood of low self-esteem and a craving for acceptance to his life-altering realization that he needed to recover for his son’s sake. Now a life coach, speaker, and author of "Chasing Shadows: Fighting the Monster Within," Justin emphasizes the importance of finding one's "why," asking for help, finding acceptance and forgiveness, and the critical need for men to embrace vulnerability. His transformative story is not just a personal triumph but a guiding light for anyone battling addiction, offering hope and practical insights into the power of recovery.
