The Power of Surrender: Why Rock Bottom Is the Beginning, Not the End

At some point, you hit a moment where you know, you can’t keep going like this. Maybe it happens slowly, like a weight that’s been pressing down on you for years. Or maybe, like me, it happens all at once.

For me, it was standing in my kitchen, hands gripping the counter, realizing I had been running from myself for far too long. That night, everything collapsed. And for the first time, I saw the truth: I wasn’t in control anymore.

But here’s what I didn’t know then…

Rock bottom isn’t failure. It’s a reset.

In this powerful solo episode, we’re diving into:

Why hitting rock bottom might be the best thing that ever happens to you

The moment I had to surrender, walking away from Kratom after addiction took hold of my life

Why control is the thing that’s actually keeping you stuck (and how letting go sets you free)

The biggest myth about rock bottom, and how to stop seeing it as punishment and start seeing it as a new beginning

POWERFUL TRAIL MARKERS... AKA KEY TAKEAWAYS:

“Rock bottom isn’t a catastrophic event, it’s the moment you finally admit you’ve lost yourself.”

"Most people think strength is about pushing through. But real transformation? It happens by surrendering.”

“If you’ve been running, numbing, or avoiding… what if rock bottom is your chance to finally stop?”

Again, this isn’t about passive listening, it’s about doing the work.

So before the next episode, take five minutes and ask yourself this:

“What’s the one thing I’ve been avoiding feeling lately?”

Write it down. Sit with it. No judgment, just raw honesty. Because that’s where real transformation begins.
