Long-Term Sobriety, Leadership and Hope After Losing Everything with Justin Lippiatt

In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Justin Lippiatt to talk about what it means to hold onto hope when life has stripped everything back. Justin shares his journey through alcoholism, long-term sobriety, and the way recovery reshaped not just his personal life, but the way he leads, serves, and sees other people.What touched my heart so much in this conversation is Justin’s willingness to speak openly about the reality of addiction in business spaces, and the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up with truth, dignity, and compassion.Justin also shares about a devastating season where he lost his business, his financial security, and found himself in an incredibly dark place emotionally. It’s a reminder that behind the success people see on the outside, there can be so much pain hidden underneath.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt alone in their struggle, anyone carrying shame, and anyone wondering whether hope is still possible. Justin’s message is simple but so powerful: be kind. Sometimes that kindness can be the very thing that helps someone stay, keep going, and believe that a new chapter is still possible.Get in touch with Justin Lippiatt:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinlippiatt/***Thank you for listening to Stories of HOPE: Inspiring Humans with Kerrie Atherton.Kerrie Atherton is an Inspiring Speaker, Professional Counsellor and Mental Health Coach.
