Jay Shifman is an open book. A vulnerable storyteller, stigma-destroying speaker, and a podcast and event host, Jay’s story of struggle are familiar to the millions of people the world over who also struggle with issues of mental health, substance misuse, and addiction.
The survivor of two overdoses and an overdose and now in long-term recovery, it is Jay’s mission to encourage difficult conversations and honest education concerning these and similar struggles.
The founder of Choose Your Struggle and the host of the podcast that shares its name as well as the narrative series Rock Bottom Storytellers and A Day in the Life, Jay is a fervent believer in radical honesty and the simple fact that neither struggle nor recovery should be treated as a one-size-fits-all experience, Jay uses his voice, and his platforms to educate, entertain, and empower.
Holding a BA in Psychology from Northern Kentucky University and with over a decade of lived and professional experience in the field, Jay has put in numerous hours of independent learning acquiring certifications in mental health, substance misuse and addiction, and drug policy.
He lives in Philadelphia with his wife, Lauren, and their dog, Nell.
