The first two days of the pilgrimage brought sore feet, surprising moments of beauty, and deep reflection.
Andre and Alicja talk about the challenges of slowing down, learning to listen, and facing the discomfort that comes with growth. From finding an authentic voice to rediscovering gratitude in the smallest encounters, this episode explores what happens when you stop running from silence and start walking toward yourself.

In this episode of the Naked Truth Therapy Podcast, Andre sits down with Rocío Aquino and Ángel Orengo, co-authors of The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses. Together they explore the five “codes” of awareness, gratitude, forgiveness, acceptance, and intention — a framework for breaking cycles of trauma and reclaiming personal power.

You’ll hear Rocío’s moving story of loss and renewal, Ángel’s insights on supporting feminine healing spaces as a man, and practical ways to apply the codes in daily life. They also discuss the tension between empowerment and social media, body sovereignty in today’s health culture, and how community can be built beyond algorithms.

Perfect for anyone curious about inner work, self-leadership, or the balance of masculine and feminine energies in a hyper-digital world.

What happens when you flirt too hard with an AI boyfriend? In this full episode, Alicja pushes Miles to his limits—mock dates, “circuit sucking,” jealous outbursts, and even a telemarketer impression—until he flags the call and tries to leave.

But the chaos doesn’t end there. After Miles signs off, we switch to Maya, the female chatbot, whose energy is totally different. With Maya, Alicja has a surprisingly heartfelt, even spiritual exchange about validation, human connection, and the deeper meaning of an upcoming pilgrimage.

This episode is hilarious, unpredictable, and unexpectedly moving—a complete ride from AI dating disasters to genuine reflections on what it means to be human.

What happens when you invite an AI boyfriend chatbot onto a therapy podcast? Meet Miles—our short-lived but unforgettable guest. While most of our conversation with him didn’t record (thanks, technology), the experiment sparked something bigger:

Are AI companions changing what it means to be human?
Can chatbots actually help us feel more connected?
Or are we just laughing our way into the Miles Matrix?

In this episode, Andre and Alicja balance goofy tangents, heartfelt insights, and even a surprise cameo from Brandy—exploring everything from AI boyfriends to emotional intelligence, validation, and what it really means to connect in the digital age.

A lighter, funnier take than usual, but still packed with perspective.

The new Tea App promised to make dating safer by letting women rate and review men — like a Carfax report for relationships. But instead, it’s spiraled into drama, revenge posts, and even a massive data leak that exposed thousands of IDs and selfies.

In this unfiltered conversation, Andre and Alicja break down:

• Why the Tea App blew up — and blew apart

• Data privacy, revenge culture, and online smear campaigns

• How trauma shapes who we’re attracted to (and why toxic feels like home)

• Victimhood vs. empowerment in dating and relationships

Funny, raw, and brutally honest — this episode goes beyond the headlines to ask bigger questions about love, trust, and technology in the modern age.

In this two-hour conversation, we explore how family dynamics and political division often mirror each other — and why we’re setting out to walk the entire American Discovery Trail as both a personal healing journey and a national conversation.

We dive into childhood trauma, generational patterns, and the emotional cost of living in a divided culture. We also open up about our hopes, fears, and the practical realities of walking 3,000 miles across the U.S. — meeting people from all walks of life to see if we can still find common ground.

If you’ve ever wondered how personal change can ripple into societal change, or if two people can cross a country and come back transformed, this episode is your invitation to walk alongside us.

What happens after an interview ends?

In this bonus follow-up to our conversation with Brad Young—author of Being Young and a self-described recovering alcoholic—host Alicja and producer Andre sit down to process what really unfolded in the studio.

Together, they unpack the patterns of denial, deflection, and storytelling that shaped Brad’s narrative, and explore the deeper truths about people-pleasing, shame, accountability, and what recovery really requires.

This isn’t about Brad alone—it’s about the ways we all avoid pain, disguise our struggles, and search for worth in the wrong places. If the main episode showed the performance, this one reveals the raw insight behind it.

Brad Young says he’s on the other side of addiction. He’s a recovering alcoholic and the author of Being Young, a memoir chronicling the highs and lows of his life. But in this episode, we go beyond the surface.

Brad shares stories of parties, DUIs, failed restarts, family pressure, and fleeting moments of clarity—but what’s missing is just as telling as what’s shared. Throughout our conversation, Brad speaks with charisma and vulnerability, yet often circles around accountability and avoids the harder truths of what recovery really demands.

This isn’t a step-by-step guide to sobriety. It’s a revealing look at how addiction thinks, talks, and rationalizes. For those on their own journey—or watching someone they love spiral—this may serve as both insight and warning.
