Ep 4 - Justin's Story - I Struggled With My Own Self Abuse

Let's Get Loud Podcast

My guest this episode is Justin. Born with a congenital heart defect, Justin was brought up on a farm and still had to do the strenuous chores like his siblings. Believing he wasn't going to live a long life, he struggled to find where his life was going, abusing alcohol, Justin was married for 11 years to someone who didn't hold much for their future and after his third open heart surgery was forced into being a stay at home husband while his wife became the main income earners, as a role reversal his wife didn't appreciate his efforts looking after their son, looking after the home & the financial management. All the while he struggled with his own mortality he severely self abused. Justin grew out of his marriage that became toxic as he tried to find a purpose to his life after being told he more than likely he would possibly live for another 20 years, he restructured his mental well being and found ways to help others, find his peace and created a future dream of living in a sustainable cabin that he will open to others to give them a place to reset. Justin's story is one of pure resilience with a daily death warrant hanging over his head.
