I very much have a place in my heart for people who are struggling, because I don't care who you are, I don't care how much money you have in the bank, I don't care what you present on Facebook, Instagram or to your friends and family.
What happens when your greatest passion turns into an obsession? Brandon Lilly, a renowned strength coach and top-ranked powerlifter, knows this story all too well. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad sits down with Brandon to explore his remarkable journey of internal healing and rediscovery. Brandon's tale begins with his meteoric rise in the powerlifting world, achieving feats that few could even dream of.
However, a catastrophic knee injury that led to 17 surgeries forced him into a period of deep reflection. Stuck in bed, he realized that his life had been consumed by powerlifting to the detriment of everything else. Addiction, as Brandon reveals, isn't just about substances; it can manifest in any form, including the relentless pursuit of strength and success. He shares how he recognized the addictive qualities woven into human nature and the importance of not labeling people as broken.
Instead, he believes we are all just human, each with our own struggles. Brandon's story is a powerful reminder that recovery isn't just about overcoming substance abuse but finding balance and purpose in all aspects of life. He discusses the significance of establishing a morning routine, recognizing warning signs of self-sabotage, and defining personal goals. Brandon's insights are both practical and inspiring, offering valuable lessons for anyone on their own path to recovery.
Tune in to hear Brandon Lilly's compelling story and discover how he transformed his obsession into a journey of self-discovery and healing.
