As someone who has walked the path from trauma to recovery, I understand the challenges, fears, and doubts that come with PTSD - and more importantly, I know the way forward. Each week, I bring you powerful conversations, practical tools, and transformative insights about healing from trauma and PTSD. We explore everything from managing anxiety and depression to rebuilding relationships, conquering addiction, and ultimately creating a life filled with joy, peace, and purpose. Through intimate interviews with survivors, discussions with experts, and sharing of proven healing techniques, this podcast offers both hope and practical guidance for your recovery journey. My own path has led me from the depths of PTSD and addiction to a life I once couldn’t imagine was possible - one filled with genuine joy, deep connections, and inner peace. This transformation fuels my passion for showing others what’s possible. Every episode is crafted with one goal in mind: to provide you with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration you need to heal completely from PTSD and repair the damage it’s caused in your life.

From exploring cutting-edge healing techniques to sharing real stories of recovery, we dive deep into what it truly takes to overcome PTSD and create lasting transformation. Even if you don’t believe healing is possible for you right now, I do. I’ve witnessed countless individuals transform their lives, and I’m here to tell you that full recovery isn’t just a dream - it’s an achievable reality. You deserve a life free from the weight of trauma, and I’m committed to helping you get there. Join me every Monday as we explore the path to healing, growth, and transformation.

Today Brad and I talk about a BIG topic... love!
What is love?
Believe it or not, most people don't actually know what love is...
They don't know how to show it, or accept it.... or even what it is supposed to look like.
Too many people put themselves into hurtful and harmful relationships because of a skewed vision of what love really is.
Today we're going to clear a lot of things up, and show you how to give love, accept love, and how you should love yourself.
Here's what's covered...
1 - How to get to 100%/100% Love
2 - How to love without conditions
3 - Why communication is the #1 skill to have, and how to do it in a loving, honest, and accepting way.

Do you know how to fully recover from PTSD?
Do you know the steps you need to take?
Well, today Brad and I talk about the action you need to take to craft your own custom “road map” to recovery.
Without knowing where you are and where you’re headed, you’re just going to feel like you’re spinning your wheels going around in circles…
When you feel like you’re stuck in a cycle that never ends it means that you need to do something different.
The most important thing to realize is that your current self and your current actions will NOT get you to full recovery.
You HAVE to change!
Today Brad and I tell you how to do it…
I hope you enjoy today’s show, let me know how you like it :)
