In this raw and powerful episode, Al Richards and Heather Van Boerum open up in a deep and thought-provoking conversation about the unexpected parallels between addiction and amputation — two life-altering battles that demand resilience, faith, and the will to rise again.
Whether you’ve battled substance use or faced the loss of a limb, the journey toward healing is often the same. It’s about learning to say:
👉 “I am not my addiction.”
👉 “I am not my amputation.”
Both experiences strip us down to our core, forcing us to redefine who we are beyond our pain, our losses, and our scars. Al and his guest dive into how these struggles test the human spirit, and how, through faith, perseverance, and the right support, we can rebuild our lives — stronger, wiser, and more compassionate than before.
