<p>Alex Olshonsky joins to share his story of healing a severe addiction and the role of community, spirituality, psychedelics, and holistic health in recovery. We explore how addiction is a spectrum, the role of numbing emotions, and pathways to wake up into a life of greater aliveness and joy. Alex helps brainstorm ways to apply the lessons from his journey and the world of holistic addiction treatment to broader applications like addressing the chronic health crisis and navigating modern life. </p><p><strong>Connect with Alex: </strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.alexolshonsky.com/">alexolshonsky.com</a><br>Newsletter: <a href="https://deepfix.substack.com/">deepfix.substack.com<br></a><br><strong>Connect with Sam:</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://www.samsager.com/">samsager.com</a><br>Newsletter: <a href="https://newsletter.samsager.com/">The Ripple</a></p><p>If you have any questions, feedback, or ideas on the podcast, please email us at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p>
