It's amazing, because you guys have shown us that there's a whole other side to this, yeah, that there is recovery, that there's there's more to it, absolutely, and so that that, on flip side, that an addict is not always an addict, that even in the in the darkest pieces and parts of it, you don't always have control and you you don't.
Imagine adopting children who have faced unimaginable challenges even before their first breath. That's the reality for Shad and Freyja Robison, who share their deeply moving story on this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast. Hosted by Blu Robinson, a seasoned mental health therapist and addiction counselor, this episode dives into the Robison family's life and their commitment to turning hardship into hope.
Shad and Freyja adopted children with disabilities resulting from the biological mother's substance abuse, a decision that has shaped their lives in profound ways. Their daughter Emma, who participates in races using a Hoyt racing wheelchair, gets a unique view of the world thanks to the athletes of Team Addict to Athlete. These athletes use their strength and determination to offer Emma experiences she might never have had otherwise.
The Robisons' story is a testament to the power of community and the incredible impact of service. It's about more than just overcoming adversity; it's about finding purpose and joy in the journey. This episode is perfect for anyone seeking inspiration and practical insights into how to turn life's toughest challenges into opportunities for growth and connection. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Shad and Freyja's story will leave you feeling uplifted and motivated.
