From Prison To Purpose Scotty H On Violence Addiction And Redemption | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 64

Tonight’s episode is raw, honest, and heavy. We sit down with Scotty Hulshof, a man who survived federal prison, addiction, extreme violence, trauma, and solitary confinement and came back with truth for the rest of us. Scotty spent nearly ten years in federal prison, survived 15 months in solitary, lived through overdoses, street violence, riots, torture, and the kind of darkness most men never recover from.This is a story about men’s mental health, survival, recovery, and rebuilding a life after trauma.But he didn’t just survive.He rebuilt.He recovered.He found sobriety, discipline, purpose, and redemption.Scotty is now eight years clean. Clean through grit, grace, mindset, and God. He helps men rebuild their lives after addiction, trauma, violence, and self-destruction. He runs The Diamond Life Academy, speaks in treatment centers and schools, coaches men across the Lower Mainland, and teaches recovery, accountability, warrior mindset, and strong male leadership.If you are interested in addiction recovery, prison reform, mental health, trauma healing, sobriety, accountability, or rebuilding your life after hitting rock bottom, this episode goes deep. Very deep.This conversation is for the men who carry silence, the ones trying to break old patterns, the fathers who want to be better, the addicts fighting back, and anyone climbing out of darkness trying to become someone they can respect again.This episode is about healing, truth, pain, and the long road back.And if you’re fighting through something right now, this will remind you that you are not alone.CONNECT WITH SCOTTYWebsite⁠https://thediamondlife.ca⁠TikTok@scottyh771Instagram@thediamondlife.caYouTubeDiamond Life Academy⁠https://youtube.com/@thediamondlife.ca⁠He offers mindset coaching, trauma work, recovery mentorship, treatment referrals, and support for men across British Columbia.FOLLOW RAW MINDSYouTube⁠https://youtube.com/@rawminds-cs3ci⁠Spotify⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3I7hBJgYDdS8UQpbMl9bdt⁠TikTok⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@rawmindspodcast⁠Instagram⁠https://www.instagram.com/rawmindspodcast⁠Facebook⁠https://www.facebook.com/share/1CRWJaV5qh/⁠Website⁠https://www.rawminds.ca⁠Email⁠rawmindspodcast@gmail.com⁠Like, comment, follow, share.Help us reach the people who need this.
