From Rock Bottom to Renewal – Evan Stowers on Sobriety, Self‑Discovery and Leading with Vulnerability
If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you from building a meaningful future, this episode is for you.
We’re joined by Evan Stowers, a salon owner, father, and deeply reflective leader, as he opens up about his journey through addiction, trauma, and self-discovery, all shaped by a late autism diagnosis that reframed everything he thought he knew about himself.
Evan shares the raw truth about growing up in survival mode, navigating shame, and the long road to healing. He talks about what it means to lead with empathy, how fatherhood cracked him open, and why he’s finally learning to feel safe in his own skin.
We go deep on the hard stuff: childhood trauma, addiction, divorce, and the emotional toll of masking for years. But we also talk about growth, grace, and the power of being seen. Evan’s story is a reminder that healing isn’t linear, and leadership doesn’t require perfection, just honesty.
There’s wisdom here for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood, battled inner demons, or tried to rebuild from rock bottom. You’ll walk away with a new perspective on identity, resilience, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up.
