#134: The Journey of Healing from Trauma & Addiction - Replay of University of Adversity Podcast

This is a replay of a recent episode I did as a guest on the University of Adversity podcast with my buddy, Lance Essihos. I highly recommend you follow and subscribe to his podcast (as well as mine). He has amazing guests and conversations with thought leaders who I greatly admire and respect. I hope you enjoy this episode.

Andrew Schultz is an international speaker, facilitator, coach, podcaster, and mentor. His teachings and vulnerable online offerings are enjoyed daily by 23,000+ readers on Instagram and his weekly podcast is downloaded in over 85 countries worldwide. Andrew's favorite coaching mantra, "Be the change you want to see in the world" is a foundation of all his offerings.

On today's episode, Andrew shares his journey from addiction and rock bottom in 2015 and losing the will to love, to thriving in recovery celebrating over seven years of sobriety today. He now leads with an open heart and vulnerability that has become his Super-Power. Andrew opened up about how his past unresolved issues affected his relationships and how he overcame them. He also shared some valuable tips on how to incorporate healthy habits into our daily lives and ways to heal from our traumas.

What advice do you have for someone who is struggling with adversity right now?

"We must understand that trauma is not our responsibility, but our healing is. We need to have the willingness to seek help and surround ourselves with people who can help us."
