Dopamine Detox: Katie’s Story: curiosity, addiction, and reclaiming her own life

In this episode, Katie gets honest about her dopamine detox era — what kicked it off, what surprised her, and what actually changed on the other side. Addiction, sober-curious, codependency and learning to save her own life. We talk about how modern life quietly trains our brains to chase constant stimulation, why numbing behaviors can increase anxiety instead of reducing it, and what happens when you remove the crutches long enough to hear yourself think again. From sobriety and self-trust to creativity, confidence, and joy that doesn’t require a reward button — this conversation is equal parts reflective, practical, and encouraging.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re actually tired or just overstimulated… this one will land.
