On today’s episode, I talk with my client “Charles”, a 50-year-old who has been sober for nearly five years after a two-decade battle with alcoholism. Charles opens up about the pressures of running a company and the toll it took on his mental health, leading to severe anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. He shares how therapy, mindfulness, and Buddhist teachings helped him transform his life perspective, build emotional intelligence, and form meaningful relationships. Charles reveals the challenges of confronting past shame, the importance of reaching out for help, and the continuous process of self-discovery and growth.
