Ep 40. You are not your worst decision. From one mistake to a life of purpose w/ Paul Turley
On a New Year’s Eve over 20 years ago, one decision changed everything.
In this episode, Paul Turley shares the story of a moment that cost someone their life — and the decades that followed as he learned to live with the weight of it.
This is not just a conversation about drink driving.
It’s about accountability, shame, and the question many people carry in different ways:
Are you allowed to rebuild your life after your worst mistake?
We explore how culture, alcohol, and unprocessed emotions can lead to decisions we never imagined we’d make… and what it takes to face them, own them, and move forward.
Today, Paul uses his story to educate young people and help prevent others from making the same mistake — turning something irreversible into something meaningful.
This is a powerful conversation about responsibility, purpose, and the truth that:
You are not your worst decision…but you are responsible for what comes next.
