In this episode of Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean take a deep dive into the tangled web of modern-day addiction, from compulsive eating and alcohol to dopamine-fuelled distraction. They reflect on their personal experiences with instant gratification and the societal structures that keep us constantly overstimulated.

The conversation explores the impact of AI and misinformation, the exhausting pace of the digital world, and how mindfulness can help us stay grounded. With openness and humour, they unpack the psychological, social and chemical elements of addiction, including emerging treatments like Mounjaro and the push for drug decriminalisation.

Join us as we get honest about what it means to live, cope and try to grow in an overstimulated world.

Enjoy the ride!
