In this episode, we explain why your brain keeps craving the things that make you feel good for a moment but empty after — and how real connection can break the cycle. You’ll learn why addiction isn’t about the drug or the habit, but the cage we’re stuck in. We break down Rat Park, digital loneliness, and the rise of paid “fake intimacy,” and show how one simple move — saying yes to real people — is the fastest way to feel full again.
