In this episode of Not All There, Chad sits down with Danielle from Craving Clarity to continue their unique and ever-evolving collaboration. Together, they dive into the cutting-edge neuroscience Danielle and her team are uncovering—exploring how the brain responds to addiction, recovery, and everything in between. Chad brings the lived experience, the stories, and just enough self-deprecating humor to keep things real, raw, and relatable.

It’s a conversation that blends science and sobriety in ways that are engaging, thoughtful, and occasionally full of “where the hell are they going with this?” moments. (Don’t worry—they land the plane.)

This episode is an important, fascinating ride through the brain, the bottle, and beyond—perfect for anyone curious about what makes addiction tick and how recovery rewires us. You don’t need a lab coat or a 12-step book to enjoy this one—just an open mind and maybe a sense of humor.
