Hey, y'all! Today's episode is a bit different, but really fun and informative. Today, Fausto Castellano returns to the show to discuss his specialty as a therapist, codependency in relationships. I share some stories about my past dating history that I have never shared before and we discuss what codependency looks like, why it can be consequential for your mental health and overall life, and how to break codependent patterns.

Also!! Fausto posts weekly mental health and therapy videos on his YouTube

Can't wait to hear what y'all think!

Ooooh, Y'ALL. This is another banger. Louie Mandrapilias was a young gay man in Louisiana in the 70s...when it really wasn't okay to be a gay man anywhere, much less Louisiana. Checking out New York, or as Louie tells me "gay mecca," for two weeks the summer before his senior year of high school turns into a years long run as an international drug smuggler. Louie was diagnosed with HIV in 1983 before there was any treatment available. At that time, HIV was a death sentence. Louie chose to stay sober anyway. His story is wild and inspiring and I can't wait to hear what you think!

Joey Rakisits is back! Narcan Nate and I interviewed Joey a few years ago, and his episodes (Part One and Two), remain two of the highest rated shows we've published. Definitely go back and listen to those! When we interview Joey, he had about two years sober. He had recently tapered himself off of suboxone and felt solid in his recovery. A few months after our episode aired, Joey was injured at work and required pain medication. That night, he went to the casino from the hospital and was off and running. He lost his house, his job and all the usual bullshit that happens when we're running amok began happening again. Now six months sober, Joey asked to come back on the show to share what happened, where he felt he went wrong, and what he's doing differently.

Y,all this episode is FUN. I totally fell in love with Jessy during this interview and you will, too. From raves in high school as the "Persian Kitten," to goofballs and grand theft auto, Jessy Lauren has done it all and lived to tell her story. Facing three years in prison in her thirties, Jessy OD'd in a trap house and finally decided to make a genuine attempt at sobriety.

Now the owner of a sober living, Jessy snowboards and travels and lives a full life after surviving and escaping the chaos of addiction and crime.

Hey, y'all! I decided to switch it up today! We had two back to back incredible episodes that were heavy on the recovery, mental health struggled and treatment, so this week we're going with a bit more light hearted subject - motel stories!

(If you have any motel stories, btw, I'd love to hear them! Send an email or voice message to [email protected])

Jed is now sober with a wife and baby girl and is well on his way to becoming an addiction counselor and therapist.

We can be at the point where we're self inflicting third degree burns for pain pills - and make it back to society!

This is going to be everyone's new favorite, I already know! Kelly shares a harrowing story of surviving 9-11, mental health disorders, disordered eating, a rare infectious disease, delusory parasitosis, homelessness, spinal cord injury, and more.

Kelly is a fighter.

Finally getting sober at 44, Kelly shares some of the most profound wisdom and insight for healing and resilience that I have ever heard.

I can't wait to hear what you guys think!

Do y'all remember Amanda's episode? She and her sisters were all three strung out on heroin and living in their parents home. Amanda wrote to the Dr. Phil show and it worked! The producers of Dr. Phil reached out and flew the whole family out to LA and sent the sisters to treatment. The free rehab came with an incredibly high price the family couldn't have anticipated. Millions of people watched video of our guest today, Valeen Holloway meet men at motel rooms for money and shoot heroin in their house together. The backlash was intense.

After treatment, Valeen was sent to Texas where she still lives. In the years since her appearance on Dr. Phil, Amanda has continued to work very hard on her mental health and sobriety. Reconnecting with her daughter has been top of mind for Valeen for all these years and now has a second daughter with her partner, Dylan.

I am so proud of Valeen - she has turned down every other interview before this one! - and she showed up incredibly vulnerably and authentically. Let me know what y'all think!

I am so excited for y'all to meet Danielle M. I briefly connected with Danni at Dopeycon and stayed in touch through socials - and I'm so glad we did! Her story is incredible - partying her way across Europe, dating rock stars, traveling the world and of course, snorting copious amounts of cocaine ;) What began as glitz and glamour eventually became grimy, chaotic and tragic. After a physical assault that left her spiritually broken and defeated, Danni finally surrendered. Sobriety hasn't been continuous, but her recovered life is a testament that sobriety doesn't have to be linear to be a life saving and valuable journey. After one year sober, Danni relapsed four months ago, and opens up about the circumstances surrounding her relapse and what she is doing differently this time. Now in sobriety, Danni is combining her two passions - recovery and museums!

Ooooh, y'all will love Justin! I was laughing for, like, 75% of this episode at least. :)

Justin Darnell is a sober entrepreneur, comedian and social media content creator. Growing up, Justin went doctor shopping with his mom and started smoking weed and dabbling in percocets in high school. Though employed as an EMT, Justin's alcoholism managed to progress until getting sober four years ago. Now a successful entrepreneur and content creator, I know y'all will be as inspired by Justin as I am!

That's a wrap on Narcan Nate...

Today is our last episode with Nate before he moves back home to Tennessee to spend time with his family.

It has truly been an honor to have Nate as a regular guest co-host for the past four years, and I will dearly miss him and his hill billy shit talking. For our last episode we have one last NDPE for the road, another random ass celebrity encounter of mine in LA, we discuss Nate's recent experiences with the therapy modality, Brain Spotting, his plans for Tennessee and take a few questions from listeners.

If you haven't left a review, yet, waht are you waiting for?! And please subscribe in alllll the usual places - thank uou so much :)
