The Unbreakable Road Back | Sam Jones

About this episode

Sam Jones shares his journey from a life of crime and addiction to becoming a trauma counselor.

Sam Jones did hard time, faced drug and weapons charges, and by his own admission had a very twisted idea of what it meant to be a man. At 37, he's something else entirely — a trauma counsellor using breathwork and lived experience to help others find their way out. In this episode, Adam speaks with Sam about the childhood wounds that set him on a path of crime and addiction, the fake brotherhood he found and the six months in a Sunshine Coast rehab that changed the course of his life.  Find more about Sam Jones and Unbreakable here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.unbreakablespirit.co_&d=DwMFAw&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=QRM3oaA988YHZWJl3EPR_CLNVsMUzP7PSqo8KYpcnWo&m=zMMZS6xvI0806EzWLZwxCuRWKQysMF4mCmcB0lSS6dhXaiFclSDNUyXGUI0tAE8G&s=HiI2Bf5muUqcWcYfPy9yiqQqMBK-_Ok_b2af1EVqfGA&e= See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
