“I  remember laying face down shirt ripped, phone gone, money gone and thinking if I lay here long enough il just die”

Totally relating to Sam’s story of his descent into alcoholism and the shame associated with it, I just  HAD to get Sam Church on the A2A podcast to share his journey with me.

Sam is a Mental Health Advocate, Sales Professional and Co-Founder of MENtality.

Having lived the majority of his life with poor mental health and still having to work on this on a daily basis Sam knows first-hand what it’s like to feel the pain of poor Mental Health.

Battling addiction, not sleeping, poor nutrition and closing off from the world was a daily routine for over a decade. Essentially Sam could not see a way out and fundamentality didn’t know how.

Today Sam leads a different life. Overcoming this adversity and changing his life completely Sam now wants to give others the education that he didn’t have.

We go deep on topics such as:

  • MENtality
  • Self-isolation
  • Fascination of alcohol from a young age
  • The Trauma trigger
  • Path to alcohol
  • Masking the addiction
  • The catalyst moment for change
  • Genetic predispositions
  • Growth mindset
  • Changing the habit and replacing the urge
  • Non- negotiables to maintain being your best self
  • Mediation & journaling
  • Aligning your environment
