That was the case for Kelly Lydiard as he sat on his mother\u2019s couch after being kicked out of his 11th treatment center. Frank O\u2019Dea, author of \u201cWhen All You Have is Hope,\u201d was his inspiration to get up and make a change in his life. And now Kelly is impacting others and helping them climb out of their own rock bottoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge that many recovering addicts face is not having a purpose after recovery. They\u2019ve spent their lives falling back on what felt safe to them, addiction, and didn\u2019t know what to do after getting treatment. The result? They fall back into addiction in a vicious cycle. But Kelly recognized that there was more to him beyond what he was currently doing in his life. Which admittedly wasn\u2019t much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kelly recognized something he was good at and took a low-paying job to better his skills, digging himself out of his self doubt. And now he\u2019s helping others recognize their own tangible value so they can rebuild their own lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This conversation is so hopeful and inspiring, especially given my own personal connection to addiction and recovery and I can\u2019t wait to hear what Kelly has in store for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.simplecast.com\/e9550187-5abd-4778-ad4a-cdffd8a53e56?dark=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About Kelly Lydiard:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kelly Lydiard is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of On A Dime Transformations.
