From Grief to Purpose: How Jeff Johnston Rebuilt His Life

from YOUR CRISIS COACH · host Fredd Carroll

In this powerful episode, Jeff Johnston shares his deeply personal journey through unimaginable loss—the death of his son from fentanyl poisoning, the later loss of his wife to alcohol, and how these experiences ignited his mission to transform grief into purpose. With raw honesty, Jeff recounts his battles with alcoholism, his moment of suicidal despair, and how he rebuilt his life through resilience, meditation, and the creation of the Brighton mental wellness app. This is a heartfelt conversation about trauma, recovery, reframing addiction, and the importance of finding your own path to healing. A must-watch for anyone touched by addiction, mental health struggles, or personal tragedy.
