In this raw episode, comedian and host Ariel Kashanchi opens up about walking away from weed, what finally pushed her to reconcile with her estranged parents, and how Spravato treatments fit into her mental health journey. Ariel talks through the messy middle—shame, humor, boundaries, and forgiveness—plus what the treatment days feel like, the unexpected side effects, and the ways sobriety has sharpened her writing and stand-up. It's a candid look at breaking cycles, rebuilding family, and finding real relief without losing your edge.
