Episode Summary

In this eye-opening episode, host Liz Blanding sits down with certified family recovery coach and author Mike Shooty to explore the deep connection between trauma and addiction. Mike shares his 20-year journey battling substance use disorders and how uncovering unresolved trauma became the turning point in his recovery.

Drawing from his book Lost in London: Journey from Insanity to Acceptance, Mike takes us through the cycles of relapse, the pain of unhealed wounds, and the power of holistic healing—mind, body, and spirit. If you've ever struggled with addiction or supported someone who has, this conversation offers truth, empathy, and real tools for transformation.

Key Takeaways

  • Trauma is often the hidden driver behind addiction.
  • Sobriety is only the beginning—healing happens when we address root causes.
  • Vulnerability and storytelling are powerful tools for both personal and collective recovery.
  • Community, connection, and compassion are essential for long-term transformation.
  • Everyone deserves a second chance—and there is always a path to recovery.
