Hi Reader, I just published a new episode that I’m really excited to share with you. It’s called Redefining Recovery: Dr. Adi Jaffe’s Journey from Addiction to Empowerment. Dr. Jaffe’s story is incredible. Imagine being caught in the depths of meth addiction and staring down the possibility of prison—then transforming all of that pain into a life filled with purpose and hope. We talked about his deeply personal recovery process, his struggles with traditional recovery programs, and why he feels sobriety is about so much more than just abstinence. He shared the pivotal moments that shaped his life, including an honest conversation with his dad that marked the start of real accountability and change. If you or someone you know has struggled with addiction—or even just wondered how recovery can look different for everyone—this episode will resonate deeply. All the best, P.S. If you find this episode helpful, feel free to forward it to someone who might need the inspiration! |

Hi Reader, What if the harshest critic you’ve ever faced lives right inside your own head? In our latest episode, Eric and I dive into that relentless inner voice that tells us we’re not good enough, we’ll never change, or that we always mess things up. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to believe that voice anymore. Using tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we’ll show you how to challenge those thoughts, rewire your brain, and find a more balanced, compassionate way to talk...
