    My Brain Made Me Do It: ADHD & Addiction w/ Issac Samuelson

    It's hard to take it one day at a time with time blindness. So, we sat down with Chicago therapist Issac Samuelson to talk all about how ADHD and addiction overlap. How impulsivity and shame fuel the cycle, and why traditional recovery might not work for the neurodivergent. If you're like Jody and lost your keys while you're completely sober, or had a warrant out for your arrest because you forgot about your court date, this one’s for you.

    Oh Dear Me: Reflective Writing for Addiction Recovery

    Ever wish you could go back and give your younger self a little advice—or maybe just a hug and a "hang in there"? In this episode, we’re doing exactly that. Thomas and I each wrote letters to our past selves, and we’re reading them out loud (buckle up, emotions incoming). Then we unpack why this kind of reflective writing can be a game-changer in recovery. We’ll talk about how it helps with healing, self-awareness, and even letting go of old shame. If you’re in recovery or just working on yourself, grab a pen, some paper, and maybe some tissues.
