In this episode of the Alcohol and Addiction Recovery Podcast, I dive into why so many high-performing individuals from CEOs and athletes to creatives and entrepreneurs find themselves stuck in the cycle of alcohol addiction, substance use, and compulsive behaviours.

With over 15 years of doctorate-level experience in addiction recovery and trauma healing, I’ve helped thousands of people break free from addiction without relying on traditional rehab. I also spent five and a half years in a monastery, where I developed tools for emotional regulation, stillness, and control  which now shape the spiritually holistic and science-backed approach I use in my practice.

If you’re a high achiever silently struggling with addiction, or if you feel like you’ve tried everything and still can’t stop, this episode will help you see the root causes clearly and offer a path forward.

You don’t need to hit rock bottom, you just need the right strategy.
