In this powerful episode of the Hopeaholic Podcast, Amanda Taylor and Brandon Thomas open up about their raw and inspiring journey through addiction, loss, faith, and recovery. From meeting in AA to reconnecting at work and building a relationship grounded in sobriety, their story is filled with dramatic turning points. Amanda shares how job loss pushed her into a new direction, the challenges of drawing firm boundaries around sobriety, and the importance of a God-centered relationship. Brandon reflects on his family’s struggles with addiction, his rise in the music scene, and how opiates ultimately derailed everything. Together, they reveal the pain of losing creativity in addiction and the joy of finding purpose again through their company, The Undead Club. Later in the conversation, they discuss the importance of owning recovery without shame and showing that sobriety can be not only possible, but cool. This episode is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of rebuilding a life with purpose.
