Just because you are struggling or have struggled, doesn't mean you're a failure or you're weak or something is wrong with you. Struggle is part of life and no matter how much we try to avoid it...it WILL catch up to us at some point.
Learning how to not just survive, but to THRIVE in life, even THROUGH struggle, is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. And the BEST news...you do NOT have to do it alone.
Whether you chose to find people online...like myself or this week's guest, Travis Gribble...or you choose a culturally competent therapist, or check yourself into inpatient treatment or rehab, or you attend a "retreat" to help you work through your struggle...or ALL of those options....YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
In this episode, we catch up with Travis to see what he's been up to since his first appearance on the Next Shift Podcast and chat with him about the work he's doing with Boulder Crest Foundation. You can check out his first episode, here.
Travis gives a brief intro into who he is and his transition, the work he's done on himself since retiring in 2022, and shares about the Struggle Well experience, put on by Boulder Crest Foundation. He himself has gone through the program and shared that even though he'd done a ton of work on himself/his mind since retiring...he learned so much and has seen significant growth.
If you've never heard of Boulder Crest Foundation, you can check them and their various programs out, here.
