- How to spot signs you’re stuck in autopilot

- What to do when your dream life doesn’t make you happy

- Why self-compassion is key to growth and fulfillment

What if the version of success you’re chasing isn't the pathway to your happiness? In this episode, Dr Maike Neuhaus joins Dr Katie to explore how you can unhook from cultural myths about success and redefine success and happiness on your own terms. We discuss hedonic vs. eudaimonic happiness, the trap of “miss wanting,” and how gratitude can reconnect you with what actually matters.

In part two of my conversation with Dr. Adi Jaffe, we dive into what recovery actually looks like.

From the harmful power of labels like “addict” to the myth of the “addictive personality,” we unpack what helps people change—and what holds them back. Dr. Jaffe shares powerful personal stories, breaks down the role of shame, and offers a compassionate yet practical roadmap for anyone navigating recovery, trauma, or support for a loved one.

We also talk about building a personal advisory board, how to separate identity from behavior, and why abstinence isn’t the only path to healing.

🧠 If you’ve ever felt stuck in a coping cycle or wondered how to support someone without judgment, this one’s for you.
