133.5 After the Episode: Reflections on Brad Young, Addiction & Avoidance

What happens after an interview ends?

In this bonus follow-up to our conversation with Brad Young—author of Being Young and a self-described recovering alcoholic—host Alicja and producer Andre sit down to process what really unfolded in the studio.

Together, they unpack the patterns of denial, deflection, and storytelling that shaped Brad’s narrative, and explore the deeper truths about people-pleasing, shame, accountability, and what recovery really requires.

This isn’t about Brad alone—it’s about the ways we all avoid pain, disguise our struggles, and search for worth in the wrong places. If the main episode showed the performance, this one reveals the raw insight behind it.

🎙️ Hosted by Alicja & Andre for Naked Truth Therapy
