Travis Blakeley joins Beth Jones for a raw look at high-functioning addiction and the roots of trauma. Travis shares his journey from a childhood of "transactional love" to the depths of alcoholism that led him to a suicide attempt on a bridge. He discusses his transformative
experience with the Men of Nehemiah, how he broke the cycle of generational trauma, and why vulnerability is the only true superpower we have.
This conversation explores the dangerous myth that addiction only affects those who "look" like addicts, the spiritual breakthrough that changed everything, and how Travis is now paying forward his healing by helping other men find restoration.
