Episode Sixty-Two: Returning from relapse and finding faith with Brandy Ledford

Ep 62. Returning from relapse and finding faith with Brandy Ledford

In this week’s episode I’m joined by multi-talented actress and former model Brandy Ledford. There’s a high chance you’ve seen Brandy on your screens as she’s appeared in critically acclaimed TV series including Bay Watch, Modern Family and Rat Race.

Yet Brandy’s focus today goes beyond her successful acting career. With over 11 years of sobriety, Brandy’s ultimate goal is to spread positivity and use her experiences to make a difference within the recovery community.

This is a spiritual conversation and I encourage you to tune in with an open mind.

We spoke across a range of topics including:

  • Hiding behind a smile in Hollywood – 4:35

  • Going to jail as a teenager – 10:15

  • Doing the drill on a daily basis – 14:27

  • Developing faith in a Higher Power – 23:11

  • The “isms” – 30:00

  • Rebuilding your life after relapse – 40:43

  • Staying rigorously honest – 48:13
