Brad Young says he’s on the other side of addiction. He’s a recovering alcoholic and the author of Being Young, a memoir chronicling the highs and lows of his life. But in this episode, we go beyond the surface.

Brad shares stories of parties, DUIs, failed restarts, family pressure, and fleeting moments of clarity—but what’s missing is just as telling as what’s shared. Throughout our conversation, Brad speaks with charisma and vulnerability, yet often circles around accountability and avoids the harder truths of what recovery really demands.

This isn’t a step-by-step guide to sobriety. It’s a revealing look at how addiction thinks, talks, and rationalizes. For those on their own journey—or watching someone they love spiral—this may serve as both insight and warning.

What if your brain could hear itself—and begin to heal? In this episode, Dr. Florence Hardjono, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, joins Alicja to explore how the non-invasive Cereset technology is helping people recover from anxiety, trauma, sleep issues, and even chronic pain.

Florence shares her own powerful healing journey—from burnout and physical pain to unresolved trauma, including sexual assault and years of emotional suppression. Together, they unpack the neuroscience of trauma, neuroplasticity, and how our survival brain often hides what we’re not ready to face.

This conversation is both deeply personal and radically hopeful—a look at what’s possible when the mind and body finally get the chance to reset.

Teens are starving—physically, emotionally, and mentally—and TikTok is feeding them the wrong kind of content. In this powerful episode, therapist Alicja sits down with nurse practitioner David Glenn to break down the toxic world of SkinnyTok, the TikTok subculture glamorizing disordered eating and extreme body ideals.

Through humor, skits, and brutally honest conversation, Alicja and David explore:

• Why teens fall for "skinny" influencer advice

• How to talk to your kids without triggering rebellion

• The effects of dopamine addiction from social media

• Why hyper-empathy and over-validation can be harmful

• What healthy self-love and parenting really look like

Whether you're a parent, educator, or just someone trying to untangle the mess of social media and mental health, this episode is a must-listen.
