    Breaking Free From the Addictions You Don’t Talk About — with Rob Lohman

    In this powerful episode of The Presence-Centered Podcast, host Christian F. Johnson sits down with Rob Lohman — a Christian rehab business owner, interventionist, recovery coach, podcaster, and recovery advocate — to unpack what it really means to break free from the addictions we don’t talk about. This episode explores how distractions disguised as relief can quietly pull us out of alignment with God and our divine assignment. Rob shares his powerful journey of recovery through realignment and redemption through Presence, revealing how the same story that once enslaved you can become the one that sets others free. Together, Christian and Rob dive into what true transformation looks like for spiritually-minded, high-impact leaders who may not battle substances—but still wrestle with the need for success, approval, or control. If you’ve ever felt distant from your purpose or stuck in a pattern that promises peace but delivers pressure, this episode will show you how to find your way back to Presence. 🧭 Episode Highlights 00:00 – Welcome & Opening 01:30 – Introducing Rob Lohman 03:00 – The difference between addiction and distraction 09:00 – Hidden addictions in high-performing leaders 15:00 – Self-care or self-sabotage? 21:00 – Presence-Centered Perspective with Christian 24:00 – Final Blessing + How to Connect 🌐 Connect with Rob Lohman: Website: ChristianRehabServices.com LinkedIn: Rob Lohman on LinkedIn 💼 Presence Partner: This episode is powered by Xpanding Brands — the media and marketing partner helping mission-driven leaders bring their God-given vision to life.
