Episode 4: Alone In Plain Sight

Episode 4: Alone In Plain Sight

This episode began as a conversation about intimacy -- and became a conversation about isolation. In an honest interview, we explore how addiction is shaped by loneliness, judgement, and the absence of being asked a simple question: Do you need help? What unfolds is a reflection on shame, stigma, and the ways people are pushed further into isolation long before anyone notices. This episode centers the human experience behind addiction, and why connection - not criticism - is often what's missing. On Addiction.
