Adversity to Ascension is a podcast that delves into the heart of human resilience and the power to overcome adversity. Over my 30 years as a psychiatrist, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from every corner of life—those battling addiction, homelessness, severe mental illness, and devastating loss, as well as people facing everyday struggles like anxiety and mood disorders. While some find ways to rise above their challenges, others become overwhelmed and fall into despair.
In each episode, we’ll speak with individuals who have faced life’s darkest moments and emerged stronger, more fulfilled, and more resilient. Through their stories, we’ll uncover what makes the difference between giving up and pushing forward.
Join us as we explore the transformative power of gratitude, perseverance, and hope. My hope is that these stories will inspire you and help you discover how to navigate your own challenges, turning them into opportunities for growth and success.
