Finding one's purpose in life is, I think, that the best thing that you can ever experience, that the peace and the slowing down of the mind in a good way, yeah, is, can be profound, and it's I mean, it takes my experience, it takes work to keep it there, yeah, and to feel it.
Imagine being caught in a whirlwind of addiction and chaos, only to emerge with a newfound purpose. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Paul Gilmartin welcomes Wendy Adamson, who shares her incredible story of transformation. Wendy's life was far from easy; she grew up amidst trauma and eventually became an alcoholic PTA mom, even finding herself in jail after a shocking incident involving her husband's mistress. But that's not where her story ends.
Through sheer determination and the will to change, Wendy found sobriety and a calling to help others break free from the cycle of intergenerational abuse. As an author and certified drug and alcohol counselor, Wendy's journey is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Her memoir, 'Mother Load: A Memoir of Addiction, Gun Violence & Finding a Life of Purpose', delves into her experiences and the lessons she's learned along the way.
This episode touches on heavy themes like the impact of trauma on children, overcoming addiction and guilt, and the healing power of forgiveness. Wendy's resilience shines through as she discusses how surrendering to the universe helped her find meaning in helping others. If you're seeking a story of hope, redemption, and the human spirit's capacity for change, this episode is a must-listen.
