Episode 129 - Will a Degree REALLY Make Your Life More Comfortable?—Brennon Moore

That’s the big question: will a degree really make your life more comfortable like your parents and teachers make it seem? Growing up, Brennon Moore had the idea that getting a degree would fix everything and had no question about whether or not it would be a part of his success story. Turns out, the key areas of his success story would involve his hardships, rather than how many degrees he earned. Brennon Moore, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC-II), and a Nationally Certified Trauma Therapist (CTT) struggled in middle and high school, as he dealt with sexual and physical abuse. His academic experience turned out to be better in college though, the trauma followed him, leading him down a dark path with substance abuse. Once graduating from grad school and experiencing a life-changing car accident, Brennon was forced to make a change with his life. After finding the right treatment center for himself, he was then able to get his first job at a treatment center and ten years later, started his very own program for young men.In this episode of Success is Subjective, Brennon joins Joanna to share his journey as he navigated childhood trauma throughout his young adult years, sharing how the hardest time in his life with addiction brought him to his life calling, working with young men.
