Not Without Some Scars

Not Without Some Scars is a podcast about recovery, creativity, resilience, and the experiences that shape who we become. Hosted by photographer and recovery advocate Joel Bull Hendricks, the show features honest conversations with people who have faced addiction, trauma, loss, personal struggles, and the difficult work of rebuilding their lives.

Through meaningful interviews and personal reflections, Joel explores recovery, emotional growth, fatherhood, photography, music, culture, and life beyond addiction. Every scar carries a story—not only of what happened, but of the strength it took to keep moving forward.

These are real people, real experiences, and real conversations about finding hope, purpose, and creativity through life’s hardest moments. We may carry scars, but they don’t have to define our future.
