Laki has dealt with a lot in his life: anger management, mental health, substance abuse. This is why I am so appreciative of his openness and generosity to discuss his life story. I hope you enjoy as much as I did my recording with Laki.

Here's links to a few of his projects:

As I mentioned while discussing with Noa, there are times I sit with guests and wonder if they've been debriefed about my own life story to then tell me while we record the discussion. Not necessarily the facts and events that has plastered Noa's life (he has quite an amazing and difficult one) but in some of the feelings and emotions that he shared he felt while going through those difficult times.

Thank you Noa for your wisdom and knowledge of the program.

Meeting with Bobbie was a refreshing experience in a way that I don't often have the opportunity to discuss what I would describe as a dry addiction: gambling doesn't, at his first look, alter your brain as does alcohol or drugs. Despite it, Bobbie has share with me how she felt under a gambling spell.

Recovery has changed through the years, and Bobbie’s experience with Gamblers Anonymous, inpatient treatment, self development , and working with the Center for Problem have helped her develop her own spin on living a bet free healthy courageous life.

My conversation with Cassie has taught me a lot about self-deprecation and self-perception of ourselves. This is such an eye opener to realize how much we can see ourselves in such a bad way while, as I told Cassie, if we would ask the people that are around us at the same time this self-deprecation happens, they would most probably talk of you positively and would never have known that we have this self-image. 

This was a great conversation of her upbringing and substance consumption to embracing her passion and living her dream life.

Dustin has opened up to all of his life story and early trauma that has initiated his rabbit hole of substance abuse. He then found himself, picked himself up and his now realizing stuff that he would have never EVER imagined. He is also quite involved in his community to help his next of kin in getting better. He is a great human being that I can't wait for you to hear. 

In his own words:

"I think the biggest is that no matter what the world throws at us, there is hope. Through everything we go through in our journey of battling our disease, a way out has been blazed by the people before us. I am grateful for that and the life I live today. I have a life and sense of freedom today and face my fears no matter what the world throws at us, and 2020 has thrown a lot at all of us, I think the recovery community has a unique opportunity to give back to the world and help generations heal wounds that we are used to working with. It is important for me to give back to the community that gave so freely to me and be a productive member of society and I am blessed to do that each and every day."
