What if your superpower was secretly destroying your life?
Ian Fee spent decades thinking alcohol was his key to connection – his edge in business and relationships. He built a successful career, a massive network, and a party-filled life that looked like everything was working. But beneath the surface, he was numb, disconnected, and silently unraveling.
Everything changed on the third day of rehab, when a moment of clarity hit: if he wasn't right with himself, nothing else would ever be right. That spark ignited a complete shift. Since then, Ian's found deeper purpose through daily routines, emotional healing, and a strong core of support. He's sharing his story not just to reflect, but to help others know it's never too late to change your life.
Takeaways:
- A moment of emotional awakening in rehab changed Ian's direction for good
- He learned to replace numbing with daily healing practices like journaling, meditation, and cold plunges
- His transformation was possible because he built a small, trusted circle of support who saw every version of him
Topics Discussed:
- Why he believed alcohol was the key to his professional success
- The emotional suppression that followed decades of drinking
- Entering rehab and hitting a breaking point
- The role of his "core four" in keeping him grounded
- Creating daily rituals to feel better, not just function
- How sharing vulnerably helped him reclaim his story
- The ripple effect of helping others through his book
