In today’s episode, Stephen and Dixie Lee get to know Nathan Fordham! After growing up in small town Montana, Nathan began pushing the boundaries of his upbringing in college, getting into dangerous territory with hard drug use that would eventually claim his brother's life. After grappling with grief and continued drug use, Nathan sought treatment and is now in recovery, proudly sober for over a year. He has since fashioned a new life for himself around yoga, meditation, and self-discovery aided by psychedelics. Nathan uses the inspiration he draws from these experiences to craft his custom jewelry as an entrepreneurial venture! We learned so much from Nathan! We hope you enjoy getting to know Nathan as much as we did! ***Disclaimer*** There is content throughout this conversation that may not be suitable for children, involving drug use and overdose.
