Mike Smith joins me to talk about ADHD, sobriety, addiction recovery, and learning how to adapt when life does not go according to plan.
 
After recently reaching one year sober, Mike shares what recovery has taught him about discipline, identity, mental health, and facing hardship without falling back into old habits. We also discuss the recovery-focused app he is developing to connect people with helpful content, support, and practical tools for overcoming addiction.
 
This is an honest conversation about rebuilding your life, staying sober, managing ADHD, and finding healthier ways to move forward.

Advocate for Yourself: Stop Expecting People to Read Your Mind | Ep. #211

We ALL fall down, together we rise.

Whether you’re going through dark days, or have dealt with them in the past, or perhaps maybe they have impacted someone you love, we have all been impacted by mental health struggles in some way, shape or form.

No matter what it is that you are going through, life can and will get better for you.

We have all felt that same feeling of being alone in this world, when the lights are all out, and nobody else is awake and all we have is the voice in our head. The feeling that even with our friends, family, coworkers, teammates, bosses, coaches, and peers around us, that we are alone in this fight, and in this world. THAT SPECIFIC FEELING IS WHAT CONNECTS US ALL. We are together alone.

Not only will it get “better” but I truly believe you can find the greatness that resides within you, and that you’ll spread it to others as well.

I find it interesting to speak with business owners, hard workers, and inspiring people about the challenges they have faced and how they‘ve overcome them.

Based out of Vancouver, I find it important to speak about some of the difficult things in life, and to encourage others to feel happier and spread the love!
