Ep45 - Brian Wall: Life After Addiction

from HIListically Speaking with Hilary Russo · host Hilary Russo

"I was just a heart beat pulse on a monitor". Those were the words Brian Wall used to describe his past. He was a collegiate swimmer who found himself racing in the wrong lane. His battle with addiction was coupled by intimate loss, unexpected devastation and near death experience. But through it all, Brian managed to gain advanced clinical knowledge, becoming a dually licensed mental health and addiction specialist. His hope: to motivate and inspire others beyond their potential and encourage others to enjoy each wave in the race called life. On this episode of "HIListically Speaking", Brian shares with Hilary his own story of health and healing, which wouldn't be complete without a side of humor. Connect with Brian via LinkedIn.
