What happens when you embrace your darkest moments and transform them into a powerful message? I have someone here with me today who can answer that question.

Drew McManus, founder of the spiritual roots group Satsang (a Sanskrit term which means "in the company of truth"), is a musician whose music has touched countless lives. His songs, filled with raw honesty, have helped people find freedom from pain, and I share how they transformed me personally.

Drew opens up about his journey, his struggles with self-destructive behavior, and how he found healing through music and faith. We discuss the importance of boundaries, not only in protecting our hearts but in defining the environments that nourish us. Drew's reflection on his past, especially the hardships, highlights an important truth: “Life isn't happening to us; it's happening for us.“

We also explore how Drew's music continues to evolve, with some of his older songs gaining new meanings as he navigates new phases of life. His story is a testament to the belief that even in our darkest moments, we have the power to rewrite our story.

“I'm not saying what happened to me is right. I'm saying that I wouldn't be who I am had that not happened to me. And I love who I am. Maybe I wouldn't write these songs if that didn't happen to me."
