Addiction isn't always what you think. In this eye-opening solo episode, Dr. Justin Wenck dives into the nuanced landscape of addiction—how it shows up in hidden ways and how, when recognized and redirected, it can become a superpower. Drawing from personal stories and practical insights, Justin challenges cultural narratives around addiction and offers a new way to reclaim your life by choosing your compulsions wisely

Key Highlights:

  • Redefining addiction: It’s not just about substances.
  • Hidden addictions in high-functioning people (work, food, drama, etc.).
  • Why fighting addiction often fails and what to do instead.
  • The powerful link between addiction and habit.
  • How to reframe your identity and take control.
  • Examples of "positive addictions" and how to cultivate them.
