Brad Wetzler travelled the world as an acclaimed journalist writing for The New York Times, National Geographic, Newsweek, GQ, and other prestigious publications.
But his fame masked a dark side: childhood trauma, PSTD and addiction to prescription drugs that almost killed him.

Brad’s story is one of adventure, trauma, and ultimately, healing through writing. From being a celebrated travel journalist to struggling with misdiagnosed mental health conditions and overmedication, Brad shares his deeply personal journey of transformation.

Brad's memoir, Into the Soul of the World: My Journey to Healing, helped him process past trauma and PSTD so that he ended up reclaiming his true self. Brad shares the healing power of yoga, travel, and spirituality—including an extraordinary experience with a 100-year-old yogi in India.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in memoir writing, healing through storytelling, and finding hope after trauma.
