"Thriving Beyond Survival: A Journey of Healing and Purpose"

Have you ever received news that shook you to your core, news that threatened to break you—but somehow, that very moment set you on a path to discover your true purpose? A few years ago, Ann Marie received such news. For a long time, she carried it in silence, processing the pain and uncertainty. But in God’s perfect timing, she found healing—healing that went far beyond the physical, reaching deep into her soul. After overcoming cancer she wrestled with the word 'survivor'—a word that felt heavy, limiting. But in her quiet moments with the Lord, He whispered, 'I've called you to thrive, not just survive.' And that changed everything. Ann Marie realized that life isn't just about enduring the storms—it’s about thriving through every season. About staying fluid, adapting, and never giving up, no matter the challenge. Today, Ann Marie is dedicated to helping others find harmony in their lives, relationships, and work, empowering them to live with purpose and intention. In today’s episode, she shares her journey of healing and growth, proving that no obstacle is too great when you choose to thrive. I’m your host, Bryan White, and you’re listening to The Thriving Chronicles Podcast.

Welcome to today’s episode of The Thriving Chronicles Podcast, where we dive deep into the powerful and transformative world of addiction recovery. Our guest today is Dr. Robb Kelly, a world-renowned addiction expert who’s been on the frontlines of helping individuals reclaim their lives from the grips of addiction for over 20 years.

Dr. Kelly is a recovered alcoholic himself, a PhD in psychology, and has helped thousands, including high-profile figures from film, music, and sports, break free from the chains of addiction. His approach is no-nonsense, direct, and deeply rooted in his own journey and decades of research. Often referred to as “The Gordon Ramsay of the Addiction World,” Dr. Kelly’s philosophy challenges conventional methods by focusing on treating the root cause of addiction, not just its symptoms.

In today’s episode, we’ll explore his unique perspective on recovery, how he empowers his clients to confront their disease head-on, and why he believes the road to recovery should be straightforward, not a mystery tour. His personal mantra, “Step out of the disease, and into the Solution,” is a guiding principle that has transformed the lives of thousands, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.

So, grab your headphones and get ready for an insightful, candid conversation with one of the leading authorities on addiction recovery. Let’s dive in!
