Breaking Cycles with Eric Lang: From Chaos to Clarity

Welcome back to another raw and powerful episode of Love in Sync! In this installment of our new series Breaking Cycles with Eric & Kendall, we go deeper into the journey of transformation, trauma, and healing through lived experience.

Eric Lang, an Alabama native and veteran, shares his unfiltered story of growing up in chaos—between violence, neglect, and early exposure to addiction. From his first memory of witnessing his parents in a life-threatening fight to juvenile detention, military service, and a battle with opioid addiction, Eric's story is a testament to survival, resilience, and the power of inner work.

We explore:

• Childhood trauma and its role in shaping adult behavior

• Surviving and healing from addiction

• Life in the military and the silent scars it leaves

• Fatherhood as a catalyst for transformation

• The real meaning of recovery (hint: it's not a straight line)

Together, we also unpack the role of Human Design, routine, gut health, and astrology in healing and rebuilding life from the ashes.

This isn’t just Eric’s story. This is a story so many of us carry in silence. If you or someone you love is navigating addiction, trauma, or cycles you’re ready to break, we’re here. We see you. And we invite you to reach out.
