Description

After years trapped in addiction, crime, and chaos — James Date was given one last chance.

A magistrate’s words changed everything:
“You can either become institutionalised… or picture a new life.”

What followed was a raw, emotional journey through prison, trauma, recovery, and rebirth. From facing childhood pain in rehab to rediscovering vulnerability, James shares his story of redemption, healing, and purpose.

In this episode, he opens up about:

• His moment of awakening after leaving prison
• Facing buried trauma through vulnerability and breathwork
• The spiritual connection that led him to healing
• Building a life of recovery, hope, and helping others

🌿 This is more than a story about sobriety — it’s about choosing life, forgiveness, and freedom.
