POST-TRAUMATIC THRIVING HOSTS 5X EMMY-WINNING JOURNALIST, FORMER CBS NEWS ANCHOR BRANDON LEE, WHO DISCUSSES TRAUMA, ADDICTION & RECOVERY **TW**

Brandon Lee had all the perks of a privileged childhood, but lacked parental supervision to protect him from sexual predators. From the ages of 7-10, Brandon was repeatedly molested by his piano teacher, a trusted neighbor, and youth soccer coach. The "red flags" were ignored.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Teenage Brandon Lee was snorting cocaine and drinking to blackouts while attending Catholic high school. He tried numbing the pain from being a sex worker in Laguna Beach, CA at 16. Growing up gay wasn't something that he could tell anyone, and that trauma followed him into his young adulthood. After NYU he became an overachieving news journalist in New York during the week and a meth-fueled partier on the weekends. Brandon overdosed and was near death twice.

After more than 10 years of Alcoholic Anonymous meetings and traditional talk therapy, Brandon finally found healing by working with a Shaman and implementing psychedelic drug therapy. Retiring from broadcast news, Brandon launched Art of Our Soul, a program that helps heal trauma and addiction (https://artofoursoul.com/).
