In this powerful episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast, Eric sits down with Dr. John King, an Australian-born trauma expert, speaker, and founder of The Phoenix Collective. Dr. King shares his remarkable story of surviving childhood abuse and trafficking, and how decades later, God led him on a 15-year journey of rebuilding his life from the ground up.

Together, they unpack how trauma, addiction, and recovery intertwine—and why real healing requires patience, grace, and daily discipline. Dr. King reveals the powerful tools that helped him overcome years of PTSD and depression, from biohacking and brain rewiring to simple daily habits that build peace and mental clarity.

This profound conversation reminds us that recovery doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a lifelong process of grace, growth, and renewal of the mind.
