“I share my story of going from all-star athlete to prison to the Olympics, my childhood struggles with suicidal ideation, anxiety and depression, the importance of balance in mental wellness and how trauma is a precursor to substance use,” Hoffman states. “I explain how addiction works and the reformation of my life, including setting goals, developing healthy coping skills and how healthy friendships helped me reform my life.”
