Choosing every day how you react, who you are, and embracing your own badassery with Susan and Rob:

Rob’s introduction to addictive substances, his journey through addiction into recovery, and the rebuilding of his life in sobriety.
Dealing with conflict and living life as a chameleon versus living life as authentically you.
Tapping into your spirituality with absolute belief and knowingness.

Key Takeaways:

When we tap into the deepest part of ourselves, and we fully connect to that, even if it's for a fleeting moment, miracles can and do happen, and it is really, truly, all about belief.
You have to know who you are. You have to find your worth, in who you are internally, who your spiritual being really is, and not what's going on externally. If you don’t know who you are, someone else is going to define it. Do not let your external circumstances dictate who you are inside of you.
When it comes to the prison system and what is on paper, don’t believe it. There is always more to the story.

"When I can sit in my freedom to choose my response to whatever is happening, it's going to be more loving, compassionate, and caring than defensive, attacking, and hurt." — Rob Lohman

About Rob Lohman: Sober since 2001, Rob Lohman currently helps people suffering from substance abuse to find freedom from addiction and incarceration. He does this through sharing his testimony, Professional Interventions and Recovery Coaching, Advocacy, Self-Published Author and being the host of Beyond The Bars Radio Podcast.

Rob has been through the ringer, AND keeps bouncing back. His rap sheet includes alcohol and drug addiction, gambling addiction, divorce, bankruptcies, mental health and suicide ideation, prison, recovery and transformation.

Rob's drinking career started at age 14 which led to some very dark places in his life. The climax of Rob's drinking career happened on June 7, 2001 with a suicide attempt interrupted by the compassion of his dog, Jake. Upon divine intervention, Rob was freed from his substance abuse addiction which began a rollercoaster ride in recovery...to which Rob has yet to take another drink or drug since that day.

In year eleven (11) of his sobriety journey, Rob had an emotional nervous breakdown which lead to a thirteen (13) year prison sentence, to which he was released in 10.5 months to a halfway house where he started to rebuild his life, along with his two children and wife who decided to remain married to Rob after the breakdown.

Rob now invests in the lives of those wanting to see positive change, whether it is coming out of addiction, prison or just wanting more for their lives. He is a dynamic speaker and shares an extremely powerful journey of persistence, faith and inspiration.
