From Hell to Wellness

Addictions are not only tough on the body, mind, and soul but also extremely taxing on your bank account. Endless nights of drinking at parties and clouded inhibition can lead to a ton of unwanted credit card and cash transactions. After ditching the drinks and partying, we talk about how we (mostly Kiki) saved $25K in our first year of sobriety.

We discuss how our spending habits were like during the party high days, what it was like spending money on tour, and how we cut costs while cutting out booze. Also, as usual, we give some fun wellness tips and New Year's resolutions to start the new year fresh with a CLEAN and sober slate. 

In this episode, we cover:

• How addiction can empty your bank account
• How Kiki got out of debt and saved $25K
• Useful apps and tips to save money while being sober and just in general
• Healthy ways to start your New Year's resolutions and stick with them.

In this episode, we interview our good friend Dominic DeLuca from Brooklyn Projects.

Dominic is a former MTV VJ and has been a roadie for many of the top Metal bands in the world. He is also more obsessed with cats than Kiki is (which is seriously a RIDICULOUS amount). Though he puts on a rough and tough exterior, you can find Dom at your local cat cafe hanging out with the fluffiest of kitties.

However, the sober(ish) kitty life wasn't always his main deal. As someone who survived the Hollywood party scene (relatively) sober, he did suffer from some gnarly addictions of his own. In this interview, Dom explains how he was able to pull through the party scene with massive success sans the hardcore party favors. He also gives his advice to younger people in the creative industry on how to overcome the peer-pressure of partying.

In this episode we cover:

• Crazy Tour Stories from the road with Heavy Metal Bands
• How Dom overcame his PCP addiction
• Depression and Anti-Depressants
• How to Socialize in Hollywood without drugs
