We ALL struggle with addiction. For some of us, it’s substance abuse. Others have a weakness for food or shopping or scrolling Instagram. Most of us are addicted to negative thoughts. The voice in our head that tells us the world is against us. That life isn’t fair. That we’re not good enough. So, how can we learn to move past our addictions, change our thoughts, and attract the life we want?
On this episode of Destined to Be, we’re sharing the story behind our mission to inspire people when they feel stuck. You’ll find out about Jeremiah’s middle-class upbringing in Detroit and learn how his parents’ divorce led to his struggle with drug and alcohol addiction and multiple trips to rehab.
We also discuss how Jeremiah was introduced to personal development through the 12 Step Program and how he came to build a masonry restoration business that serves as a safe place to work for people in recovery. Listen in for insight around how small, practical actions lead to big changes and learn to attract what you want by transforming the way you think AND feel.
