Addiction, Recovery & Mindfulness: Real Tools for Real Change with Trent Carter

In this episode of The Mindful Living with Sana, we sit down with Trent Carter—board-certified nurse practitioner, addiction expert, and founder of Renew Health—to explore the raw and honest realities of addiction and recovery. From his early days in trauma ICUs to launching life-saving clinics in underserved communities, Trent shares how mindset and mindfulness are foundational—not optional—in recovery. Whether you're navigating personal addiction, supporting someone else, or seeking resilience in entrepreneurship, this episode offers grounded, practical tools to rebuild from the inside out. About the Guest: Trent Carter is a Texas-born healthcare leader and the founder of Renew Health, a network of addiction recovery clinics. A nurse practitioner specializing in addiction medicine, Trent combines clinical science with human-centered care. He is the author of The Recovery Tool Belt and host of the upcoming podcast Beyond Limits, where he focuses on transformation through real tools and grounded action. Key Takeaways: Mindset and mindfulness are often overlooked in addiction recovery—but they are crucial. Recovery is built through small, consistent actions and self-awareness, not sudden transformations. Mindfulness practices like journaling, breathwork, and daily routines form a resilient foundation. Both recovery and entrepreneurship require discipline, not just motivation. Resources like The Recovery Tool Belt offer accessible tools for anyone touched by addiction.
