Healing Without Blame: Ricki Friedman on Addiction, Adderall, Ayahuasca & Self-Discovery
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Ricki Friedman joins Jason Ingber on the Jason Ingber Podcast, alongside Doreen Benjamin, to share her raw journey through grief, addiction, healing, and self-discovery. Ricki opens up about losing her mother to cancer at just 13 years old and how being prescribed Adderall at a young age shaped her emotional world. She reflects on decades of disconnection, heavy weed use, stimulant dependency, and how addiction became a way to escape unprocessed pain. She shares what it was really like to quit weed cold turkey after 15 years, why getting off Adderall and Vyvanse after nearly 30 years was the hardest challenge of her life, and how losing her relationship, job, and sense of stability ultimately became the turning point that set her free. Ricki also dives into her transformative Ayahuasca experience in Costa Rica, explaining how the medicine forced her to confront herself, heal long-held trauma, and step fully into her purpose. That journey reignited her passion for coaching and led her back to helping thousands of people break free from addiction, emotional patterns, and self-sabotage. This episode is for anyone navigating: • Adderall or stimulant dependence • Weed addiction • Grief and unresolved childhood trauma • Breakups and identity loss • Personal growth and healing If you're searching for hope, clarity, or proof that real change is possible, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. 🎧 Listen until the end for Ricki's most powerful insights on healing, freedom, and living up to your full potential.
