Success is Subjective: Real People. Raw Stories. Embracing a Non-Linear Life!
Interviews of people who took a break from life at one point or another to get help, grow up, or just to reassess their life direction. Some guests struggled with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, a death in the family, or just decided college was not the place for them. These stories are all-to-real, and yet we don't talk enough about how common it is for those who took a gap year to defer college, went to college and took a break, or those who struggled launching into the workforce post-college graduation. This goes out to all the young adults and parents of young adults who are struggling and contemplating what will happen if they walk away right now.

Former Participant Series - Episode 276: The Other Side: Sobriety, Sustainability and Post-Treatment Perspective with Evan
On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Today’s former participant is Evan. Evan has thrived in his sobriety for the last four years and is on a path to helping others who reflect his younger self, who also struggled with substance use and lack of coping skills. While his journey before treatment was anything but a walk in the park, Evan sits down with Joanna to share with listeners how he has found success in his eyes, confidence in who he is and vision for where he’s going. From a wilderness program, to a recovery program and then to a sober living house, Evan explains how each step was absolutely essential in helping him create a life he is proud of, where he no longer relies on substances to cope with life challenges. Tune in for another insightful and uplifting conversation.
NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.
