I recently had the privilege of joining EZ Conversations with Furkhan Dandja some honest conversations I’ve had about identity, addiction, recovery, and finding purpose.
We talked about what it was like growing up as the brother of Vanna White, the challenges of comparison, and how easy it can be to lose yourself when you measure your worth against someone else’s success.
Today, with more than 23 years of sobriety, I’ve learned that recovery isn’t just about putting down a substance—it’s about rebuilding your identity, finding meaning, and learning how to live authentically.
We also explored the importance of accountability, faith, daily practice, and the ongoing work of becoming the person you’re meant to be.
Whether you’ve struggled with addiction, wrestled with self-doubt, or simply found yourself questioning your path, I believe you’ll find something meaningful in this episode.
Thank you to Furkhan and the EZ Conversations team for creating space for real dialogue and deeper understanding.
