“I’ve spent over 40 years battling addiction, depression, and limiting beliefs. Now, I’m on the other side of it—helping people break free from their mental and emotional prisons. My methods are built on what worked for me: mindset rewiring, meditation, visualization, cold water therapy, and a hell of a lot of raw honesty. I don’t follow the usual recovery scripts, and I don’t do fluff. This is about real change, not quick fixes.”
