Episode 38

38 - Heroin to Hero - Paul Boggie Part 3

In the final part of this inspiring series, Paul shares how he transformed his life after addiction — joining the Scots Guards, becoming a motivational speaker, writing two books, and supporting the homeless through grassroots action.

He speaks with honesty and warmth about the daily discipline of self-talk, the myth of perfection, and how real success isn’t found in status, but in alignment with your values. Paul’s message is one of radical self-compassion and the belief that change is possible for anyone, no matter how far gone they feel.

This is a story about resilience, purpose, and learning to say, “I am enough.”

⚠️ Content guidance: This episode discusses addiction, recovery, and emotional trauma. Listener discretion advised.
