Skyler Ray's story is nothing short of remarkable. Once homeless and struggling with addiction, Skyler now stands as a beacon of hope for many. In this episode of 'Remember Your Why', host Kristen sits down with Skyler, a Hip-Hop artist from Portland, Oregon, who has turned his life around in an extraordinary way. At just 18, Skyler found himself living under bridges, standing in food lines, and facing incarceration due to drug-related charges.
His twenties were a blur of addiction and prison sentences, but that wasn’t the end of his story. Music became his lifeline, helping him navigate the tumultuous waters of recovery. Today, Skyler tours the country with his fiancée, visiting prisons and treatment centers to share his message of hope and resilience. He talks candidly about the importance of taking recovery one step at a time and finding something that ignites your passion.
Skyler’s journey is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always a way out. His mission is to break the stigma surrounding addiction and show that recovery is not only possible but can lead to a fulfilling and purposeful life. If you or someone you know is battling addiction, Skyler’s story might just be the inspiration needed to take that first step towards recovery.
