From Battlefield to Redemption: Shawn Livingston’s Long Road Back Ep. 4

Combat veteran Shawn Livingston knows what it means to fight battles that don’t end when the uniform comes off. After sustaining an injury while serving his country, Shawn found himself struggling with heroin addiction—a descent that nearly cost him everything. His raw and courageous journey from combat, to addiction, and ultimately to recovery is documented in the film 100 Miles to Redemption, an unflinching look at pain, accountability, and the long road home. Today, Shawn is living proof that redemption is possible. Through sobriety, discipline, and relentless self‑work, he transformed his life and mindset. He is now a decorated ultra runner, pushing his body and mind through grueling endurance races that mirror the internal battles he once fought in silence. Shawn is also the host of the podcast I Am Redemption, where he creates space for others to share stories of recovery, resilience, and triumph. Deeply rooted in the recovery community, he travels nationwide as a motivational speaker—offering hope to those who feel trapped by their past. This episode is about falling hard, choosing to rise, and discovering that redemption isn’t a destination—it’s a daily commitment. 🌪️ If you’ve ever felt lost, broken, or beyond saving, this conversation will remind you: it’s never too late to rise.
