The Functionally Addicted Podcast Show

In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most powerful, yet invisible forces that hold high achievers, leaders, and professionals back: self-sabotage. You know the drill – hitting milestones at work, but lashing out or withdrawing at home; smashing goals professionally, yet feeling short-fused and exhausted around those closest to you. Why do we do this? Why, when we’re capable of so much, do we struggle with showing up fully in the areas that matter most? Drawing from both personal experience and years of coaching, I reveal how unresolved childhood wounds can shape our adult behaviors in ways we don’t even see. We’ll talk about why, no matter how much awareness you have, true change requires deeper work than just “knowing” your patterns. I’ll share how childhood conditioning and our nervous system keep us locked into survival modes, reacting instead of responding, pushing instead of pausing. If you’re someone who “holds it all together” outwardly but battles a storm within, this episode will hit home. I’m bringing real-life examples of how high achievers get caught in the self-sabotage trap, the common setbacks and triggers that keep you from breaking free, and practical steps to start shifting your approach to relationships and career today. This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about understanding why changing the surface isn’t enough – and why the real work is in healing the roots to finally see lasting change in the fruit. Don’t miss this episode if you’re ready to stop getting in your own way and start living fully aligned, with purpose and presence.

In a world that often champions the power of positive thinking, it's easy to fall into the belief that ignoring painful feelings is the key to happiness. But what if the solution isn't solely found in our thoughts? Join us on this episode as we delve into the misconception that positivity means suppressing or ignoring our painful emotions. We explore the profound difference between acknowledging our feelings and attempting to think our way out of them. Through insightful discussions and personal anecdotes, we uncover why trying to solely rely on our thoughts to erase emotional pain can be a flawed approach. From the science behind emotional processing to the significance of embracing discomfort, Fabien shares his experiences and expertise to challenge the notion that positivity is about glossing over genuine feelings. We uncover the importance of allowing ourselves to feel, understand, and navigate through our emotions authentically, rather than masking them with forced optimism. Tune in to explore the liberating power of acknowledging and processing our emotions, and discover how embracing positivity isn't about ignoring pain but rather understanding its place in our lives.

Can you heal from anxiety rather than just cope with it? Oh man - What an episode - Today, I'm diving deep into the world of anxiety with the amazing Dr. Russell Kennedy, aka the Anxiety MD. Who has a strong back ground in Neuroscience, mind body connection, even psychedelics. He also also written a best selling book called Anxiety Rx & award winning program called MBRX - teaching people how to HEAL from Anxiety. This conversation is all about getting real about anxiety and discovering how to truly heal from it. Dr. Kennedy's story is anything but conventional. He went from being a doctor to finding solace in stand-up comedy, all the while realizing how our childhood experiences tend to echo through our lives. Freud wasn't wrong when he talked about patterns from our past playing out in our present. In this chat, we're getting into the nitty-gritty of how our childhood separations can actually trigger anxiety in our adult lives. Dr. Kennedy explains this mind-body connection in a way that really hits home. Those moments of separation in our early years? They can make us feel like the world is a scary place. But here's the cool part—we explore how to bridge those uncertain moments and create a sense of safety, especially after separations. It's about nurturing that inner sense of security and reconnecting when we feel apart. Dr. Kennedy flips the script on anxiety. Instead of seeing it as a burden, he paints it as a guide—a beacon leading us to our younger, wounded selves that need a bit of TLC. Yep, anxiety can be a messenger, nudging us to pay attention to those parts of us that need healing. Join us on this journey of self-discovery as we learn to rebuild connections and find strength in vulnerability. Dr. Kennedy's insights are eye-opening, showing us that anxiety isn't just a problem; it's an opportunity for growth and self-repair. Tune in to The Functionally Addicted Podcast Show for an enlightening chat that might just change the way you see anxiety. We're ready to explore, learn, and heal, guided by the wisdom of Dr. Russell Kennedy, the Anxiety MD. We hope you enjoy the show!
