#33 From Addiction & Crime to Connection & Purpose

Wellthy Living conversations

My guest Dean Lloyd share his personal story that leads him to heroin addiction, crime, prison time, recovery and healing.
Dean grew up as an Athletic middle-class white boy who got himself mixed up in drugs. Marries a woman he meets in rehab, proposes to her on the back of an escort van after being sentenced to 4 years in prison for armed robbery. Gets out, gets married has a kid, gets divorced, becomes a single dad, which is the catalyst to get his life back on track. He builds a property portfolio, remarries, has 2 more kids, relapses and loses it all again. He is now been clean for some years, still happily married and on his way back up, running two businesses - Encapsulator - digital time capsules and Lloyd Consulting.
In this episode, we chat about the lessons from prison, the benefits of reflection, support, self-responsibility, connection to self, the impact of unconditional love and so much more.
I like to keep the episodes under an hour but I was so engrossed in Dean's story that I wanted to talk for hours.
