Episode 66!
Meet Charles Smith. Charles lost both his mother and his father before he turned 12 years old and then lived in 10 houses over the next 11 years. As a young adult, he turned to drugs as a way to cope with the loss and depression he experienced. He joined the military in an effort to gain control of his life and struggled while working in a Gitmo Bay Cuba detention center in riot control. After the military, he went into a depression and was homeless when he tried to end his own life. After that near death experience, Charles began to find effective coping skills in martial arts and exercise. He began to see his own hard life experiences as critical to helping others deal with similar trauma and it became his life's mission to serve others. Charles is now a Peer Support Specialist and a Certified Recovery Advisor in addition to an author of several self-help books on the topic of recovery.
Tune in to hear Charles's powerful story of using his own challenges to serve others in need.
