Al Richards: Finding Light on the Other Side of Addiction

Honored to sit down with Al Richards on my Beliefcast!
 
Al is an Internationally Certified Crisis & Recovery Coach, host of The Other Side of Addiction Podcast, and Co-Founder of the Healing Utah Success Summit. His story isn’t just about surviving addiction, it’s about rising stronger through it.
 
After losing a 24-year career, battling addiction, walking alongside a spouse struggling with alcoholism, enduring a below-the-knee amputation, and then losing his wife just weeks later… Al has lived through heartbreak that most couldn’t imagine.
 
But through faith, resilience, and learning to harness his emotions, he discovered light in the darkest of places. Today, Al shares his journey to remind others that they are not alone and that transformation is possible no matter how far down they’ve gone.
 
This conversation is filled with wisdom, lived experience, and powerful reminders of what it means to never give up.

Dr. Deonne Johnson

Dr. Deonne Johnson is the definition of transformation. She has raised four amazing kids on her own, earned her PhD, climbed the corporate ladder, remodeled homes, and even dug trenches in Nepal. But the most powerful thing she has done is trade in a life of titles and checklists for one that’s aligned with her heart.
 
Today, she’s a coach, speaker, author, and humanitarian helping people especially women navigating big transitions, turn their pain into purpose. Her new guided journal From Tired to Inspired is a beautiful tool for anyone ready to rise.
 
Deonne reminds us all that growth happens the moment we step outside our comfort zone and choose a life that truly inspires us.  You are going to love her story.
