In this episode, JoJo sits down with Dr. Robb Kelly, a leading addiction recovery expert with decades of experience helping individuals and families understand addiction, trauma, and the path to sustainable recovery.Dr. Kelly breaks down what addiction actually is - beyond stereotypes, shame, and moral judgment - and explains why willpower alone is never the answer. Together, we talk about control, coping, relapse, accountability, and the very human reasons people turn to substances in the first place. This conversation goes deep, honest, and unfiltered - without oversimplifying something that affects millions of people in different ways.And yes, before dedicating his life to recovery work, Dr. Kelly was also a professional musician who played at Abbey Road Studios.Because apparently some people collect resumes, and others just casually live six different lives.Before the interview, Fame, Flames, and Feelings takes a hard look at how we treat addiction when it plays out in public, using celebrity culture to unpack stigma, spectacle, and our obsession with redemption arcs.And after the interview, The Audacity Files: Recovery Edition is back - calling out the wild confidence, bad takes, and unsolicited opinions people love to share about addiction while knowing absolutely nothing.This episode isn’t just about addiction.It’s about judgment, control, humanity - and what it actually takes to change the conversation.Listener discretion advised. Heavy topics, honest conversations, and zero sugarcoating.________________________________________The ROAR Gallery is a digital wall of encouragement where people can upload short video messages for individuals and families going through tough times, especially during hospital stays.

“When darkness turns to light, it ends tonight.” - All American RejectsThis bonus episode brings together all three parts of I Married a Narcissist into one uninterrupted story - because apparently trauma hits harder when you don’t have to click “next episode.”So many of you asked to hear it start to finish, and honestly… it deserved to live in one place. What began as survival slowly turned into clarity, self-trust, and eventually the kind of peace that doesn’t require explaining yourself to anyone.This is a story about emotional abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, and the mental gymnastics required to convince yourself everything is “fine.” It’s also a story about waking up, choosing yourself, and realizing that losing your mind was actually your nervous system screaming, “girl, please.”It’s heavy. It’s raw. It’s honest.But if I can laugh now, it means I made it out.Content warning: emotional abuse, narcissistic behavior, relationship trauma.Season 2 officially begins January 22nd - new guests, new stories, same emotional chaos (just better boundaries).And if you want to keep the conversation going, join the private Facebook group:No Hard Feelings…Kinda | The After Party - where we unpack episodes, overshare responsibly, and laugh at things that probably should require a consent form.No hard feelings… kinda.#narcisist #narcissisticabuse #narcissism #podcast #darkhumor

This episode is not a recap.
It’s a victory lap with reckless commentary.

The Season One Finale and New Year’s Eve Special closes out a year of saying things out loud and only afterward remembering that microphones work and the internet is forever.

Expect laughs, deeply questionable observations, and several moments that absolutely should not be replayed in a professional environment - but unfortunately now exist in audio form.

We don’t do New Year’s resolutions here.
We do anti-resolutions: lower expectations, stronger boundaries, and absolutely no pretending next year will “be different” without evidence. You’ll probably start writing your own halfway through.

Stick around for a rundown of the craziest crimes of 2025, the most unhinged celebrities of the year, and proof that society was largely unsupervised.

Oh - and yes.
Jesus will be live-tweeting this episode.

I’m a little scared…yet so intrigued.
