The journey from military kid to advertising powerhouse to addiction counselor is a long and complex one. On today’s episode, I get deep into a conversation with Christian Wolfe about the road that led him from a professional career in advertising to finding contentment in helping others. Join us in this powerful conversation as Christian takes us through his journey with an honesty and full heart that truly left me speechless. 

We’re exploring:

• Christian’s early life as a military kid and what led him to a career in advertising.
• Imposter syndrome and how it played a role in his life. 
• Feeling uncomfortable in his own skin and the darkness of addiction.
• The important moment when he literally tasted his own addiction. 
• A moment for Christian on a subway platform that led to the realization that he needed to change his life. 
• The inspiring shift in his life from addiction to recovery. 
• Why he is so grateful for the lessons he learned while in advertising and how that has played a role in his relationships. 
• The unmistakable presence of God and why Christian got into seminary study.
• A powerful piece of advice he received in jail and why he reminds himself of this every day. 
• Christian’s advice for someone who might be wondering if they have an addiction problem and what to do about it.
• And so much more!
