Say It Here

In this powerful episode of the Say it Here podcast, Judi Franco and Corie Adjmi talk to radio icon Craig Carton for a raw and unfiltered conversation about gambling addiction, ego, and rebuilding a life after public collapse.

Craig shares how gambling went from a lifelong fascination to an all-consuming gambling addiction, why he believes he never would have stopped without being arrested, and what recovery looked like after prison. He opens up about the toll his gambling addiction took on his family, the shame of living in the spotlight, and the difficult work of earning trust back — one day at a time — from the loved ones healing from betrayal he caused.

The conversation also explores the growing dangers of legalized sports betting, especially for teens, and the warning signs parents often miss. Honest, emotional, and deeply human, this episode is about accountability, second chances, and choosing connection over perfection.

In this episode of Say It Here, hosts Corie Adjmi and Judi Franco explore the concept of emotional regression with renowned author and mental health pioneer, John Lee. John, famous for his book 'Growing Yourself Back Up,' (https://johnleebooks.com/) explains how adults can unconsciously regress to childlike emotional states when triggered by stress, fatigue, or other factors. If you're experiencing this in yourself or a parner, know that the path to a better self can't start without understanding the complexities or emotional regression first.

He provides a clear definition of emotional regression and discusses its signs, such as feelings of being 'small' or abandoned, and other physiological responses one might experience.

The conversation also covers practical approaches to managing emotional regression, including the awareness that your present is linked to your past. John's professional advice provides invaluable insights for those looking to understand and manage their emotional responses more effectively.
