What you hear in this episode is the rawest and most emotional interview I've ever done. And it's not even close.   When I first connected with Racquel Garcia, I was intrigued by her story of starting her organization, HardBeauty, where she and her team help people overcome and survive addiction, depression, homelessness, mental health issues, sexual assault, and domestic violence, among many other traumas.   Racquel is a Certified Addiction Counselor, Interventionist, and Recovery Coach, but she's far more than those titles could ever explain. Racquel's story exposes the deep complexities within every person's story, and yet, her dreams and desires for her own life are the same that so many of us share — that bottomless, all-consuming yearning to find a safe place to call home.   A word of warning, the topics we discuss include murder, drug use, sexual assault, and suicidal ideation, and the language gets a little intense at times.   As you listen to Racquel's story, check in with yourself and ask yourself, “What would I have done?”   Learn more about HardBeauty at https://www.hardbeauty.life/.

But as he made his way through life, he found himself struggling with emotional emptiness and a lack of connection, which led to a fight for his life with addiction.Through his own journey and struggles, Todd fought his way through the ups and downs of addiction, recovery, fatherhood, marriage, and business. He also later found out that he possessed a deep passion to help others, which eventually led him to work with others in recovery. Today, Todd has worked in the field of addiction treatment for over ten years. He is currently CEO at Blue Ridge Mountain in Georgia. Todd is a Certified Addiction Counselor, Certified Anger Management Specialist, and Relapse Prevention Specialist.  Todd also brings personal recovery experience to his clinical leadership, and is an avid sportsman.His passion for his recovery and for his daughters shines through in our conversation.  When I first met Todd, I could tell he was a solid dude right away. He had a firm handshake, was soft spoken, and looked me in the eye. I think its safe to say that Todd is a mans man, but he is not afraid to show vulnerability or emotion. We had a great conversation, and I was honored to have met Todd and help share some of his story.   Blue Ridge Mountain Recovery www.ThatSoberGuy.com   Thanks to our Sponsors: Foundations Recovery Network Sober Nation Ad music by www.bensound.com
