006: Overcoming Addiction & Finding Faith

In this episode, we explore the dark nights of the soul, alcohol addiction, suicidal thoughts, being an Amma devotee and Catholic as a gay man, and most importantly the power of faith and devotion to self & spiritual discovery. Roland Hoffmann is a well of wisdom. He has overcome an alcohol addiction, found acceptance in his faith as a Catholic, and been sober for over two decades. Roland has toured so many different spiritual teachers, religions, principles, throughout his personal transformation and spiritual discovery journey. He is one of those unique beings who has taken the time to contemplate, inquiry, and understand many different sides of spiritual/religious teachings and found the truth that binds them. His life is a living testament to the power of faith-based devotion and the healing that resides in it.  Today Roland works as a Certified Professional Coach and also owns his own PR business. He is on a profound spiritual journey and has been for more than 25 years. Roland is an ambassador for walking the talk and going the whole way no matter what. He is deeply human and deeply spiritual. Roland is 53 years young and lives with his beautiful dog Johnathon.  I feel blessed to be inspired by Roland and honored to have him as my friend.
