Todd Rennebohm: Turning Trauma into Triumph
I think a lot of people have false impressions of what it's going to be like when they enter sobriety, that it is just all going to be sunshine and roses, and while that is a good chunk of it, there's also a huge piece of it still.
How do you turn life's toughest challenges into a story of resilience and hope? Meet Todd Rennebohm, a man who has faced the dark corners of mental health struggles, addiction, and childhood trauma. In this episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', host Louise Barnett sits down with Todd to uncover his incredible journey from despair to advocacy. Todd opens up about his battles with crippling anxiety and depression that began in his teenage years and followed him into adulthood.
A suicide attempt marked a turning point, leading him to a path of healing and sobriety. Now six years sober, Todd is a mental health advocate, children's book author, and podcaster. He recently received an ADHD diagnosis, which he describes as the final piece of his mental health puzzle. Todd's story is a testament to the power of community support, vulnerability, and the importance of ending stigmas around mental health.
This episode is not just for those struggling with addiction or mental health issues but for anyone seeking inspiration and hope. Todd's journey shows that it's possible to overcome even the most daunting obstacles with the right support and mindset.
