Brandon Stickney remembers booze being everywhere growing up in Lockport, New York and he definitely remembers getting a taste for it growing up. Over time, he developed bipolar disorder and his substance use disorder added cocaine and opioids as favorite drugs. Brandon's love of getting high would cost him his marriage, his successful career as a journalist and author, and his freedom, after getting busted selling drugs and being sentenced to two years in prison. He tells us about what it's like to live with mental health issues behind bars, how both prescription drugs and illicit narcotics work there, and he tells the stories of people who helped him get through. Brandon's memoir of the experience is The Five People You Meet In Prison. Brandon lives in Florida now with his father and is working hard on his sobriety.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

Addiction doesn't look the same for everyone — and for women, it often comes with an extra helping of shame, silence, and stigma. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, we're unpacking how addiction and recovery show up differently for women, why the traditional recovery narrative often falls short, and what it actually takes to reclaim your life in a way that feels true, honest, and yours. I'm joined by Patti Clark—award-winning author, speaker, and middle-aged woman in long-term recovery—who knows this road from both the inside and out. In her newest book, Recovery Road Trip: Finding Purpose and Connection on the Journey Home, Patti shares stories and tools that help women not just survive addiction, but heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. We talk about purpose, connection, creative healing, and why recovery is about so much more than sobriety—it's about coming home to yourself. Whether you're on this road or know someone who is, this episode is packed with truth, tenderness, and the reminder that there's always hope.

In this powerful episode of People, Alpha Warrior sits down with Ellie “Belly” Dempster to uncover her extraordinary story of grit, transformation, and redemption. Ellie opens up about her sheltered upbringing in Canada, where traditional expectations clashed with her restless spirit. She recounts how a leap to Australia at 18 led to years of addiction, living on the edge, and a moment of reckoning that propelled her to Thailand to teach and train in Muay Thai. From her first fight in a Bangkok ring to stepping onto the Power Slap stage with just weeks to prepare, Ellie shares the mindset that has carried her through injuries, self-doubt, and the weight of proving herself in male-dominated arenas. The conversation covers her work supporting orphanages, her viral ACL tear in competition, and the deep belief that no failure is final if you learn from it. With raw honesty and infectious determination, Ellie shows how every setback can become fuel for growth, and why she'll never stop stepping into the unknown.

In this episode, Dan and Kyle explore the complex themes of self-worth, validation, and communication in relationships. They share personal anecdotes and insights on how to build and maintain self-worth without relying on external validation. The conversation delves into the impact of addiction on self-worth, the importance of effective communication in relationships, and strategies for personal growth. The hosts emphasize the need for self-reflection, understanding one's values, and the significance of surrounding oneself with supportive individuals. Takeaways: Self-worth should not depend on external validation. Building self-worth involves understanding personal values. Communication is key in maintaining healthy relationships. It's important to recognize unhealthy relationship patterns. Addiction can significantly impact self-worth. Self-reflection helps in identifying personal strengths. Maintaining self-worth requires consistent effort and self-care. Positive reinforcement should focus on the process, not just outcomes. Seeking help is different from seeking validation. Personal growth often comes from overcoming challenges. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast—the #1 sober podcast since 2014—we take a hard but honest look at a new bill that would deport undocumented immigrants caught driving under the influence.This isn't about politics or taking sides, public safety, personal responsibility, and sobriety. We talk about how alcohol-fueled decisions can destroy lives, regardless of legal status, and how we can do better as a society.We also ask some deeper questions:Why is drunk driving still so normalized in many communities, legal status or not? And what kind of sober leadership is needed to shift that culture?You can be compassionate toward people chasing the American dream and still hold the line on dangerous behavior.Tune in for a thoughtful, no-nonsense conversation with a few laughs thrown in because hey, it's That Sober Guy, and we've been keeping it real since 2014.

In this episode, I'm joined by Joanna and Matthew Raabsmith—a couple whose story of addiction, betrayal, and ultimately deep healing is nothing short of powerful. Matthew shares his journey through sexual addiction and recovery, while Joanna opens up about the betrayal trauma that nearly broke their relationship—and how they found a way to rebuild trust, intimacy, and connection. We talk about what betrayal trauma really is (hint: it's not codependency), how hiding the truth strips partners of choice, and why full disclosure—when done safely—can be a turning point for couples facing the fallout of hidden addictions. I'm so grateful to Joanna and Matthew for being so open, vulnerable, and generous with their story. Not only have they done their own healing work, they're now guiding other couples through some of the most painful and confusing moments of their lives. If youve ever asked yourself, “Can we really come back from this?”—this conversation is for you. Before we jump in, I wanted to share an update on my “Self-Care Summer” project where I have been focusing the majority of my time on recovering from burnout. I have gone through the workaholic/burnout cycle so many times, I realized it's time to take a step back, quit posting daily content on social media, delete the social apps from my phone, and really take action on all the healing practices that I have discovered over the last 30 years.  My approach was to create a list of activities, and I am listing them in the order that I've been doing them. You can find the list at odaatchat.com under this episode. The list includes: Gratitude List - text to clients andamp; friends Walks With Teddy while listening to educational or inspiring podcasts Weight training andamp; Yoga 12 Step Meetings Journaling: Two Way Prayer, Morning Pages, Education Reflection Journaling 30 Minutes Meditation - Waking Up App Tracking Time: I clock all the things above but also include Step Work Cooking Grooming Gardening Education - There's a bunch of books I want to work through. The intention is to actually do the work suggested in the books. On the docket are: 5 types of wealth by Sahil Bloom, Stop missing your life by Corey Muscara, Make Money Easy by Lewis Howes, and possibly A Course In Miracles Podcasting Client Calls Evening reflection journaling I know it probably sounds like a lot, and I didn't want this to turn into another thing I obsess over. To prevent that, the overarching guiding principle is to do a quick inner compass check and ask, what is the next right indicated action? And if I notice I need to rest or want to focus on play, I do that. The goal is really to practice self-acceptance and to give myself time and space to think about what patterns or stories no longer serve me, and think about who I really want to be and how I really want to spend my time. When we strip away what we think we should do, and get honest about our hearts desire, that's when we can truly align with our life's purpose and live authentically. This is really a process of emerging, and I'm excited about this phase in my journey. So stay tuned for updates! And without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Matt andamp; Joanna.

In this special Independence Day edition of Think Thursday, we're diving into a surprising truth about freedom. While freedom is often associated with having more choices, the neuroscience tells us that too many options can actually hinder our ability to make meaningful progress. In this episode, Molly explores why excessive freedom can lead to decision fatigue, anxiety, and overwhelm—and how structure can actually be the key to creating real freedom in your life.What You'll Learn:The role of the prefrontal cortex in decision-making and how it gets depletedWhy more options can lead to less satisfaction and more mental clutterHow structure, routines, and boundaries support long-term goals and reduce overwhelmThe brain-based benefits of “deciding once” instead of making repeated choices under stressWhy intentional limits can feel more freeing than unrestricted autonomyKey Insight: True freedom doesn't come from unlimited options. It comes from clarity, self-trust, and reducing the mental noise that keeps us stuck in overthinking. When you build thoughtful boundaries, you support your brain and open up space for purposeful action.Try This: Take a moment to reflect:Where in your life are too many choices creating stress or inaction?What's one area where you could reduce decisions by adding structure?Resources Mentioned:Learn more about the Doable Drink Plan and how it supports structured, sustainable behavior change at mollywatts.com/drink-lessJoin the Alcohol Minimalist Community on FacebookSubscribe and share this episode with someone who might be feeling stuck in indecisionFinal Note: Structure doesn't limit freedom—it enables it. Choosing fewer, better-aligned options may be the most liberating step you can take. ★ Support this podcast ★

Today we open a field of inquiry and healing around women's mental health, reclaiming wholeness, and reshaping the way we understand treatment, addiction, and embodiment.Our guest is Dr. Stacy Cohen, a double board-certified psychiatrist, addiction specialist, and founder of The Moment Health, a revolutionary holistic health and wellness clinic that integrates science, soul, and social impact.What drew me to Dr. Cohen's work is not only her clinical depth, but her fiercely compassionate, woman-centered lens, a lens that acknowledges that mental health and also addiction looks different in women, that healing must honor biology and story, and that reclaiming joy, clarity, and inner coherence is a personal, political, and spiritual act.As someone who has walked this path of healing myself, I know the power of what happens when we shift from symptom management to soul-based medicine.This conversation is not merely about treatment, it is about remembering what wholeness feels like, and choosing it again.Episode highlights:[02:00] What “fragmentation” looks like in traditional psychiatry[04:00] How The Moment Health was born[05:45] Building a collaborative care team rooted in interdependence[08:00] Why addiction and mental health look different in women[10:00] The clinical blind spot around hormones, perimenopause, and gynecological factors[13:30] Cultural differences in how menopause is experienced[16:00] Psychedelics and the danger of one-size-fits-all thinking[20:00] Embracing the middle passage: Stillness as power[23:00] The importance of interconnection between women and men[26:30] Why Dr. Cohen brought ketamine therapy into her practice[29:30] Addiction psychiatry, recovery culture, and psychedelics[33:30] Healing trauma and reinterpreting AA for female empowerment[36:00] Embracing the lioness: Anger, motherhood, and power[38:00] Returning to ancestral ways of raising children[41:00] The power of play, embodiment, and creative self-expression[43:30] Embracing duality: Complexity and simplicity in healing[44:00] Repainting the system: A new vision for women's mental health[48:00] Practical first steps for reclaiming your mental health[49:30] Honoring postmenopausal women and the second springResources mentioned:Dr Stacy Cohenhttps://www.stacycohenmd.com/The Moment Healthhttps://www.themomenthealth.com/who-we-areThe Middle Passage by James HollisAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/Middle-Passage-From-Misery-Meaning/dp/0919123600Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66679.The_Middle_PassageInternal Family Systems (IFS) – Richard SchwartzIFS Institute official site: https://ifs-institute.comIntro video on YouTube by Richard Schwartz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99NF6K8vN00Gateway Sciences / Gateway ClinicGateway Sciences: https://gatewaysciences.comGateway Clinic page: https://gatewaysciences.com/clinicSOCIAL MEDIALinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/the-moment-by-dr-stacy-cohenInstagram https://www.instagram.com/themomenthealth/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/themomenthealth/

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy explores the concept of tech addiction through a different lens—one of sin and the human need for a savior. She discusses the implications of labeling tech dependence merely as addiction, suggesting that this perspective may overlook deeper issues of brokenness and our reliance on Jesus. Citing Jonathan Haidt's works, including "The Happiness Hypothesis" and "The Anxious Generation," Dr. Kathy delves into the negative impacts of technology on young people today, emphasizing the need for a more profound understanding of these challenges beyond surface-level solutions. Join Dr. Kathy as she invites listeners to reflect on the complexities of technology's role in our lives and the importance of addressing these issues with a spiritual perspective. Read More  

Wine, sugar, shopping, scrolling, chips, porn, and even exercise — these aren't just habits. For many over 40, they become coping mechanisms to deal with unprocessed emotional pain. In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Rachel Graham, CEO and Co-founder of Healing Springs Ranch, in Tioga, Texas, to explore the often overlooked world of process addictions — and why they commonly emerge or worsen in midlife. You'll learn: ✅ What process addictions actually are — and how they differ from substance abuse ✅ Why midlife events like divorce, empty nesting, and hormone shifts (hello, estradiol and testosterone crashes) can spike addictive behaviors ✅ Why sugar cravings aren't just about willpower — and why even health pros like Dr. Krause aren't immune ✅ The crucial role of family involvement in the healing process ✅ Why treating addictions separately often fails — and what it takes to heal the root cause: emotional pain ✅ How to stop feeling ashamed — and start getting curious about your behavior Dr. Krause shares her own story of feeling out of control with chips and chocolate — and what she learned about the real drivers of compulsive habits. If you've ever felt like you're “better than this” but still find yourself reaching for things to numb or distract — this episode is for you.

When someone you love is addicted, it's easy to fall into survival mode—doing whatever it takes to keep the peace, manage the chaos, or fix the problem. But many of the strategies families use, though well-intentioned, actually cause more harm than good.

From enabling and denial to blame and over-functioning, you'll hear real-life examples and learn healthier, more effective ways to respond. Whether you're a parent, spouse, or sibling of someone struggling with addiction, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and practical next steps to start breaking free from the dysfunction.

What happens when you confront your darkest moments and choose to heal, instead of staying stuck in the pain?In this raw and inspiring episode of The Big Silence, Karena Dawn is joined by Dr. Samantha Harte, author of Breaking the Circuit. She's a physical therapist, author, and sobriety advocate. Harte opens up about rebuilding her life after addiction and navigating a traumatic childhood. Through it all, she discovered the healing power of vulnerability and forgiveness, ultimately learning to rewire her brain and change her story.Her picture-perfect high school existence masked unbearable pain, leading to a soul-shaking drug overdose. While navigating the challenges of sobriety in the midst of a crumbling marriage and painful loss, Samantha found herself at rock bottom. What came next was a radical reworking of her inner life and the birth of a new identity — one grounded in compassionate curiosity, revolutionary responsibility, and finally, self-forgiveness.This conversation is a masterclass in what it means to confront your truths, rewire your mind, and write a new story — no matter how broken the past may seem.How Do We Take Pain and Turn It Into Something Positive, Even Transformative?Dr. Harte explains why healing begins with self-forgiveness — and how shame, silence, and perfectionism keep us stuck in destructive loops. Learning to forgive, starting with yourself, is key to breaking free from toxic cycles.(00:058) When Everything Looks Fine — But You're Falling Apart InsideThe internal divide between outward success and private suffering: “Straddling myself between these two worlds, these two identities, like everything is fine and nothing is ok.”A very ill-timed overdose that became a wake-up callThe unbearable weight of feeling stuck with yourself when your inner voice becomes your fiercest critic(00:10:04) Five Years Sober, Still Miserable: The Trap of White-Knuckling RecoveryPerfectionism can doom sobriety: “It works until it doesn't.

We are all living in a global moment of massive instability. Culture, technology, and constant chaos actually are conditioning us against God. The result is a growing sense of restlessness, weariness, and disillusionment. John and Allen describe how the only rational response for believers in this world gone mad is to risk looking weird as we pursue God above all else. In other words, you must choose to be a martian!Show NotesThe two Wild at Heart podcast series featuring Mark Sayers released June 16th and June 23rd, 2025.

Newt talks with W. Brian Hubbard, Executive Director of Americans for Ibogaine, about the groundbreaking initiative in Texas to research Ibogaine, a powerful psychedelic, for its potential in treating opioid addiction, traumatic brain injury, and depression. Governor Greg Abbott approved a $50 million dollar investment, marking one of the largest government investments in psychedelic medicine. Hubbard was instrumental in getting the Texas initiative passed and is advocating for similar programs in other states. Hubbard shares his journey from a legal career in Kentucky, witnessing the opioid epidemic's impact, to leading efforts for Ibogaine research. He highlights the drug's potential to revolutionize addiction treatment, citing its success in interrupting addiction and restoring brain function. Their conversation also touches on the political challenges faced in Kentucky and the promising developments in Texas, where a public-private partnership aims to conduct FDA trials. Their discussion underscores the potential of Ibogaine to transform healthcare by offering a restorative treatment for addiction and neurological conditions, with hopes of broader acceptance and integration into the U.S. healthcare system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
