The Lies That Keep You Sick: Doctor Knows Best, Go to School & Social Media Myths

What if the biggest obstacles in your recovery — or your life — weren't your past, your diagnosis, or your circumstances… but the stories you were handed as truth?In Episode 15, Jess and Nikki go deep on the lies that keep people stuck, sick, and small. They're not holding back.In this episode:"Your doctor always knows best" — They challenge the blind trust most of us were raised with around medical authority, including how pharmaceutical incentives shape the advice you receive, why more people are firing their doctors, and what it actually means to advocate for yourself and your family's health."Go to school, get a degree, get a job" — Both hosts share their wildly non-linear paths — alternative school, multiple licenses never used, the strip club, real estate — and make the case that your lived experience is the credential that actually matters. Sound familiar, recovery community?"Everyone else is living their best life" — The social media comparison trap. Why the highlight reel is a lie, what the Britney Spears moment taught an entire generation about public image vs. private pain, and a simple mindset shift to stop measuring your insides against everyone else's outsides.They close with a powerful exercise: what if you threw all your problems in a pile with everyone else's — would you really swap?This one is raw, funny, and deeply honest. As always.
