Brad H. Hill's episode "Relapsed: How Easy It Creeps Back In" recognized for its powerful, personal storytelling about relapse and recovery
OSHKOSH, Wis., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- No One Is Normal, the podcast written and hosted by author and speaker Brad H. Hill, has earned a Silver Award at the 5th Annual Signal Awards in the Craft – Best Writing, Individual Episodes category for "Relapsed: How Easy It Creeps Back In."
The award recognizes an episode in which Hill shares his personal experience of relapse while writing No One Is Normal, offering an unfiltered look at the stress, fear and isolation that preceded it, the shame that followed, and the difficult work of returning to recovery.
Rather than presenting recovery as a straightforward journey, Hill uses his own experience to explore the moments that are often left out of public conversations about mental health, setbacks and resilience.
"I wanted to speak honestly about relapse and how easily it can creep back in," says Brad H. Hill. "Relapse doesn't make you a failure, and a setback is not a measure of your worth. We all stumble. What matters is getting back up, reaching for support when you need it, and recommitting to your recovery."
The recognition comes as No One Is Normal approaches its first anniversary in January 2027. In less than a year, Hill has taken deeply personal experiences and turned them into award-winning storytelling, building a platform for candid conversations about recovery, resilience and the challenges people often face in silence.
For Hill, the award represents more than recognition for writing. It reinforces the purpose behind No One Is Normal: creating space for honest conversations about adversity, identity, healing and the experiences that shape people's lives.
Through his podcast and broader work as an author and speaker, Hill encourages audiences to challenge assumptions about what it means to be "normal" and recognize that struggle and resilience are often part of the same story.
The Signal Awards recognize excellence in podcasting through Gold, Silver and Bronze distinctions selected by the Signal Awards Judging Academy. The 2026 program marks the awards' fifth year.
