From Incarceration to Inspiration: Carlos Truan's Journey of Recovery

There's a thousand ways in and a thousand ways out, and we hope you find yours.
Carlos Truan, a tattoo artist from Austin, Texas, joins Jason and Joseph on this episode of 'Talksicology' to share his incredible story of overcoming addiction. Carlos's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of finding purpose. After battling heroin and crack addiction, Carlos found himself entangled in organized crime to support his habit.

Tattooing played a crucial role in his recovery, providing him with a sense of purpose and a creative outlet.
In this heartfelt interview, Carlos discusses how his art helped him reconnect with himself and build a supportive community. His story underscores the dangers of addiction and crime but also highlights the possibilities of redemption and the various paths one can take toward recovery. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Carlos's story offers hope and inspiration.
