Kicking off Mental Health Awareness Week with a powerful episode, Sam and Miriam sit down with their good friend Mehran for an honest, funny, and deeply moving conversation about addiction, recovery, and what it really means to heal.

Mehran opens up about his lived experience with both substance and behavioral addiction, exploring the science and psychology of addiction, the role of maladaptive coping mechanisms, and how real healing begins with connection. They dive into the messy reality of early recovery, the importance of community support, and the radical act of self-forgiveness.

Whether you’re sober-curious or deep in the work, Mehran offers practical insight, honest reflection, and a reminder that transformation is possible....even in the aisles of IKEA.
