Connect

Dr. Dallas Bragg's seven-year journey from active addiction to thriving recovery coach offers profound insights into the messy, beautiful, and transformative process of healing.

His story isn't one of linear progress but rather a testament to the power of perception, free will, and the willingness to examine our deepest wounds with compassion.

As Dallas reflects, "I call it the gift of meth. I sit here the best, highest, most aware, spiritually attuned version of Dallas that has ever existed on this planet."

This isn't about glorifying addiction, but recognizing how our greatest challenges can become catalysts for unprecedented growth.

EP 3:4 Chemsex Alchemy: Turning Misery into Mission with Darren
  I want to be honest with you about something. When Darren and I sat down to record this episode, I wasn't prepared for how much of myself I would hear reflected back to me. There were moments in his story — standing in an eviction with nothing, convinced the disaster couldn't possibly be real — where I had to fight to keep it together, because I have been that person. Deluded, high, certai...
Why You Plateau (and how to maximize it)

Not sure when we learned to separate the two.  A basic life experience is reaching a plateau. This could be in your fitness journey, career, relationships, etc. This same phenomenon occurs in recovery.  Mine happened about 18 month...
