But rather as an influencer, as someone who has got a voice and who has made sense out of his suffering, who has now gone out there and laid a plan down and you're working towards, towards your goals. That makes them cry every day because they are stuck in that trauma, and hopefully your your story will resonate with them and say: wow, if he can do it, then maybe there's hope for me, and that's the powerful, powerful message.
Imagine facing a stroke, three brain surgeries, and battling depression all before turning 30. That’s the reality Kawan Glover shares in this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety'. Despite these seemingly insurmountable challenges, Kawan's story is not one of defeat but of incredible resilience. Through gratitude, perspective, and sheer determination, he has not only survived but thrived. Kawan's journey began with a stroke that led to multiple brain surgeries.
Along the way, he grappled with suicidal thoughts, an opioid addiction, and a mountain of medical debt. But instead of succumbing to these hardships, Kawan chose to rise above them. He founded 'Overcome Adversity', a company dedicated to helping others navigate their own struggles. In his memoir, 'Favor: How Stroke Struggle and Surgery Helped Me Find My Life’s Purpose', Kawan dives deeper into his experiences and the lessons he's learned.
In this episode, Kawan shares his top three tips for overcoming adversity: embracing gratitude, adopting a self-empathetic perspective, and finding purpose through passion and patience. His story is a testament to the power of the human spirit and serves as a beacon of hope for anyone facing their own battles. Whether you're dealing with mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, Kawan's insights offer a powerful reminder that with the right mindset and support, anything is possible.
