In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Lindsie sits down with Dr. Robb Kelly, PhD—world-renowned addiction expert and recovered alcoholic—to explore what it really means to heal at the root. Dr. Robb shares his extraordinary personal journey from childhood trauma and homelessness to becoming a global leader in addiction recovery and brain-based healing. Together, they unpack why willpower alone doesn’t work, how unresolved trauma lives in the subconscious mind, and why behaviors like addiction, emotional eating, anxiety, and self-sabotage are not character flaws—but survival responses. This episode goes far beyond addiction. It’s about understanding the nervous system, reshaping internal dialogue, and learning how the brain can be retrained to create lasting change. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you “know better” than but can’t seem to break, this conversation will shift how you see yourself—and what’s possible.
