I think a lot of people believe that addiction is a problem and I would say it's just a really bad solution to an underlying something right.
Imagine carrying a 'backpack of shame' that weighs you down every day. That's how James Hadlock describes his life before recovery. In this episode of the 'Illuminate Recovery Podcast', James opens up about his harrowing journey through addiction, a psychotic break, and even jail time. But this isn't just a tale of hitting rock bottom—it's a story of hope, resilience, and transformation.
Today, James is the CEO of Blunovus, an employee assistance program that's changing how companies handle mental health and addiction support. Blunovus partners with employers like EMI Health and Purple Mattress to create a culture where mental health isn't just an afterthought but a priority. James shares why traditional 'no tolerance' substance policies are failing both employees and employers and how proactive mental health discussions can make a world of difference.
If you're curious about innovative ways to support mental health in the workplace or need a dose of inspiration from someone who's been through the wringer and come out stronger, this episode is for you.
