Former Program Participant Series - Episode 318: The U-Turn That Saved My Life - Nolan Wright’s M...

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants to share their journey with others.Today, Joanna sits down with Nolan Wright. When Nolan left home to chase success, it didn’t unfold the way anyone expected. What began as ambition quickly collided with addiction, loss, and a desperate search for direction. But somewhere between chaos and clarity, Nolan found a way to rebuild—starting with one decision that changed everything. Now years into recovery, Nolan leads two organizations rooted in connection, purpose, and service. In this conversation, he opens up about redefining success, why freedom matters more than status, and how community became the cornerstone of his healing. This episode is raw, grounded, and full of heart—a reminder that sometimes the hardest detours are the ones that lead us home. NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.
