I wouldn't change one second of that, even like the darkest days, because it gave me so much. 100% because the things that I do love to do I only am able to do it because of how my life was and if it wasn't for that then I wouldn't be able to do what I do because the things that I don't need that past to do I don't enjoy so I'm super grateful for the pain because I feel like it's always been the thing I wanted to do as a kid.
Meet Fausto Castellanos, also known as 'Hope Dealer Fausto'. His story is a gripping tale of resilience and transformation. As a child, Fausto endured the trauma of sexual abuse, which led him down a path of shame and fear. Trying to escape his past, he turned to alcohol and meth, finding temporary relief but ultimately spiraling into chaos.
In this episode, Jeannine and Narcan Nate sit down with Fausto to uncover his incredible journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others. A pivotal moment came when a friend shared a Bible verse with him, sparking a change that led him to Twelve Step recovery. Fausto's life took a new direction as he explored professional jump roping, studied to become a counselor, and worked in treatment centers.
He opens up about the impact of trauma, the struggle to stay authentic while facing judgment, and the importance of therapy and setting boundaries. This episode is not just about recovery; it's about turning pain into power and finding purpose in helping others. Fausto's raw honesty and inspiring story will leave you reflecting on your own journey and the potential for growth and healing.
