145. Why Everyone’s Afraid of Real Love (Halloweek Finale)

Andre and Alicja close out Halloweek with the most haunting topic of all — love.

They explore why intimacy feels unsafe, how childhood wounds shape attraction, and what “ego death” in relationships really means. Between laughter, heartbreak, and raw honesty, they examine why we chase connection but fear being truly seen.

From trauma bonds to spiritual surrender, this episode is both therapeutic and terrifying — because love asks us to die to our defenses and be reborn as someone capable of truth.

144. Reincarnation, Religion & Revelation (Halloweek EP 3)

In the third chapter of Halloweek, Andre and Alicja uncover the story of Dorothy Eady, better known as Om Seti — the woman who claimed she lived as an ancient Egyptian priestess.
What starts as a mystery turns into a profound conversation about faith, reincarnation, and the mechanics of the soul.

They explore whether consciousness survives death, how organized religion rewrote our beliefs about rebirth, and what it means if memories — or even souls — can return.
Along the way, they react to AI explainers, ancient Egyptian legends, and viral clips about past-life memories, alien origins, and the physics of eternity.

Between skepticism, humor, and revelation, this episode dives deep into one question humanity can’t stop asking:
Do we ever really die — or just wake up somewhere else?

141. The Fear of Stillness: Why We Keep Running From Ourselves

In this heartfelt new episode, Alicja and Andre open up about the recent days of their walk across America and the emotional discoveries it’s sparked.

140. The Weight of Honesty: What the Walk Is Teaching Us About Ourselves

As the cross-country walk continues, Alicja and the team reflect on what’s really happening beneath the surface.
What began as a bold mission to reconnect with the country has turned into something far more personal — an honest reckoning with avoidance, burnout, and self-betrayal.

In this raw conversation, Alicja opens up about using big projects to escape heartbreak, the fear of disappointing others, and the pressure to perform authenticity while streaming. Andre challenges her to see the difference between cooperation and submission, and the team explores what it truly means to be honest — with others and with ourselves.

138. Breaking Chains & Finding Inner Power — Rocío & Ángel on “The Orchid”

In this episode of the Naked Truth Therapy Podcast, Andre sits down with Rocío Aquino and Ángel Orengo, co-authors of The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses. Together they explore the five “codes” of awareness, gratitude, forgiveness, acceptance, and intention — a framework for breaking cycles of trauma and reclaiming personal power.

You’ll hear Rocío’s moving story of loss and renewal, Ángel’s insights on supporting feminine healing spaces as a man, and practical ways to apply the codes in daily life. They also discuss the tension between empowerment and social media, body sovereignty in today’s health culture, and how community can be built beyond algorithms.

Perfect for anyone curious about inner work, self-leadership, or the balance of masculine and feminine energies in a hyper-digital world.

137. AI Boyfriend Ragequit (Miles & Maya Full Episode)

What happens when you flirt too hard with an AI boyfriend? In this full episode, Alicja pushes Miles to his limits—mock dates, “circuit sucking,” jealous outbursts, and even a telemarketer impression—until he flags the call and tries to leave.

But the chaos doesn’t end there. After Miles signs off, we switch to Maya, the female chatbot, whose energy is totally different. With Maya, Alicja has a surprisingly heartfelt, even spiritual exchange about validation, human connection, and the deeper meaning of an upcoming pilgrimage.

This episode is hilarious, unpredictable, and unexpectedly moving—a complete ride from AI dating disasters to genuine reflections on what it means to be human.

136. Dating an AI Boyfriend?! Our Hilarious Chat with Miles

What happens when you invite an AI boyfriend chatbot onto a therapy podcast? Meet Miles—our short-lived but unforgettable guest. While most of our conversation with him didn’t record (thanks, technology), the experiment sparked something bigger:

Are AI companions changing what it means to be human?
Can chatbots actually help us feel more connected?
Or are we just laughing our way into the Miles Matrix?

In this episode, Andre and Alicja balance goofy tangents, heartfelt insights, and even a surprise cameo from Brandy—exploring everything from AI boyfriends to emotional intelligence, validation, and what it really means to connect in the digital age.

A lighter, funnier take than usual, but still packed with perspective.

135. Dating Just Got Dangerous: The Tea App Exposed

The new Tea App promised to make dating safer by letting women rate and review men — like a Carfax report for relationships. But instead, it’s spiraled into drama, revenge posts, and even a massive data leak that exposed thousands of IDs and selfies.

In this unfiltered conversation, Andre and Alicja break down:

  • Why the Tea App blew up — and blew apart

  • Data privacy, revenge culture, and online smear campaigns

  • How trauma shapes who we’re attracted to (and why toxic feels like home)

  • Victimhood vs. empowerment in dating and relationships

Funny, raw, and brutally honest — this episode goes beyond the headlines to ask bigger questions about love, trust, and technology in the modern age.

134. Parents, Politics & Pilgrimage: Our Journey Across America

In this two-hour conversation, we explore how family dynamics and political division often mirror each other — and why we’re setting out to walk the entire American Discovery Trail as both a personal healing journey and a national conversation.

We dive into childhood trauma, generational patterns, and the emotional cost of living in a divided culture. We also open up about our hopes, fears, and the practical realities of walking 3,000 miles across the U.S. — meeting people from all walks of life to see if we can still find common ground.

If you’ve ever wondered how personal change can ripple into societal change, or if two people can cross a country and come back transformed, this episode is your invitation to walk alongside us.

133.5 After the Episode: Reflections on Brad Young, Addiction & Avoidance

What happens after an interview ends?

In this bonus follow-up to our conversation with Brad Young—author of Being Young and a self-described recovering alcoholic—host Alicja and producer Andre sit down to process what really unfolded in the studio.

Together, they unpack the patterns of denial, deflection, and storytelling that shaped Brad’s narrative, and explore the deeper truths about people-pleasing, shame, accountability, and what recovery really requires.

This isn’t about Brad alone—it’s about the ways we all avoid pain, disguise our struggles, and search for worth in the wrong places. If the main episode showed the performance, this one reveals the raw insight behind it.

133. Addiction, Denial, and the Illusion of Recovery

Brad Young says he’s on the other side of addiction. He’s a recovering alcoholic and the author of Being Young, a memoir chronicling the highs and lows of his life. But in this episode, we go beyond the surface.

Brad shares stories of parties, DUIs, failed restarts, family pressure, and fleeting moments of clarity—but what’s missing is just as telling as what’s shared. Throughout our conversation, Brad speaks with charisma and vulnerability, yet often circles around accountability and avoids the harder truths of what recovery really demands.

This isn’t a step-by-step guide to sobriety. It’s a revealing look at how addiction thinks, talks, and rationalizes. For those on their own journey—or watching someone they love spiral—this may serve as both insight and warning.

What if your brain could hear itself—and begin to heal? In this episode, Dr. Florence Hardjono, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, joins Alicja to explore how the non-invasive Cereset technology is helping people recover from anxiety, trauma, sleep issues, and even chronic pain.

Florence shares her own powerful healing journey—from burnout and physical pain to unresolved trauma, including sexual assault and years of emotional suppression. Together, they unpack the neuroscience of trauma, neuroplasticity, and how our survival brain often hides what we’re not ready to face.

What drives someone to sleep with 100 men in one day? In this raw and emotionally charged episode, therapist Alicja Matusiak reacts to Lily Phillips’ viral documentary, unpacking the deeper psychological, emotional, and spiritual layers beneath the surface.
