  • What Is It Like to Die?
    May 28 2026

    Nomi’s story begins thousands of miles away from recovery rooms and treatment centers.

    Born in India to a Jewish mother and a Hindu guru father, his childhood was marked by contradiction, chaos, abuse, and a constant feeling of not belonging anywhere. Growing up surrounded by religion only pushed him further away from God. By the time he was a kid, he was already searching for ways to escape himself.

    And eventually, he found drugs.

    What makes Nomi’s story so haunting isn’t just the addiction — it’s how self-aware he was while it was happening. Intelligent, introspective, and deeply restless, Nomi spent years trapped inside a web of lies, isolation, anger, and self-destruction, always trying to outrun something inside himself he couldn’t explain.

    Then came the overdose.

    In one of the most chilling moments ever shared on Sicker Than Others, Nomi describes dying after a fentanyl overdose — watching himself from outside his body, drowning beneath icy water while paramedics fought to bring him back to life. It’s raw, terrifying, and impossible to forget.

    But this episode isn’t just about death.

    It’s about what happens after someone survives it.

    In this deeply honest conversation, Seb and Nomi unpack addiction, identity, spirituality, self-hatred, intelligence, trauma, and the strange gift of getting a second chance after you were never supposed to wake up.

    This is a story about someone who spent his whole life trying to escape himself…
    and what happened when he finally stopped running.

  • The Smart Drunk
    May 14 2026

    Will’s story isn’t the version of alcoholism most people expect.

    He didn’t fit the stereotype. High-achieving, intelligent, outwardly functional, and capable of building a successful life, Will looked like someone who had it together. But underneath the ambition, the work ethic, and the performance was something much darker.

    Growing up on the East Coast in an achievement-driven family, Will learned early that success mattered. But alongside family trauma, instability, and a relentless internal pressure to perform, alcohol slowly became more than just an escape, it became a system for survival.

    What makes Will’s story so compelling is the one thing he couldn’t let go of.

    He was willing to change relationships. Geography. Routines. Entire chapters of his life. But work? Work was sacred. Work was identity. Work was also one of the biggest triggers keeping him trapped in relapse.

    In this episode of Sicker Than Others, Will sits down with Seb for a deeply honest conversation about ambition, alcoholism, family dysfunction, long-term treatment, loneliness, and the dangerous lies high-functioning addicts tell themselves.

    This isn’t a story about someone losing everything overnight.

    It’s about someone who looked like they were winning… while quietly falling apart.

  • From Violence to Value: Rewriting Steve’s Life
    May 1 2026

    Steve didn’t slowly drift into addiction—he was wired for it.

    Raised in the Valley in a traditional home, Steve’s early life was marked by violence, instability, and a constant need for intensity. From getting into fights as a kid to setting fires for the thrill of it, there was always something inside him chasing adrenaline - something that didn’t know how to sit still.

    And when life gave him structure, he thrived.

    With the right guidance, Steve became an athlete, stacking trophies and proving he could be great. But without it, the chaos took over. As his family fractured and the rules disappeared, Steve learned how to game the system—skipping school, running the streets, drinking, and doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.

    He wasn’t just rebelling—he was searching.

    In this deeply honest episode of Sicker Than Others, Steve sits down with Seb just hours after attending a memorial - a reminder of what happens when addiction wins. Together, they unpack a life shaped by extremes: discipline and destruction, potential and self-sabotage, connection and isolation.

    This is a story about a man who could have gone either way…
    and what it actually takes to change direction.

    Because for people like Steve, the problem isn’t living hard-
    it’s learning how to live at all.

  • Unrecognizable: The Morgan You’d Never Believe
    Mar 30 2026

    Morgan’s story doesn’t start at rock bottom—it blows straight through it.

    Growing up in South Florida, her life was marked early on by instability, confusion, and a constant search for something that felt like solid ground. What followed was a familiar but brutal path: drugs, chaos, and a steady descent into self-destruction.

    But even by recovery standards… Morgan pushed the limits.

    In one of the most brutally honest moments of this episode, she admits to smoking meth inside a treatment center—a line most people don’t come back from. It’s the kind of story that makes you question whether some people are just too far gone.

    And yet… she’s not.

    In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Morgan sits down with Seb to unpack what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now. Together, they reflect on just how unlikely their recovery really is—and why that’s exactly what makes it so powerful. This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about transformation. About becoming completely unrecognizable from the person you once were.

    Because if Morgan can come back from that…
    there’s hope for anyone.

  • Adopted, Angry, and Awake: The Redemption of Heath
    Mar 17 2026

    Welcome to Season 2 of Sicker Than Others!

    Heath’s story starts before he was even born.

    In this powerful episode of Sicker Than Others, Heath shares a life that was chaotic from the very beginning. Born into a world shaped by addiction, crime, and instability, Heath’s biological mother was navigating dangerous circumstances tied to drug trafficking and biker gangs in Newport Beach. At one point, she was homeless while pregnant with him—surviving by staying in empty escrow homes. Eventually, she made the impossible decision to place Heath up for adoption.

    He was adopted into a family in Los Angeles by two East Coast transplants—one from Brooklyn, the other from New Jersey—both of whom struggled with alcoholism, something Heath wouldn’t fully understand until much later in life. Growing up in Marina Del Rey and attending Hamilton High School, Heath spent years trying to make sense of his identity: adopted, surrounded by dysfunction, and quietly carrying anger that he didn’t yet know how to name.

    When addiction entered the picture, things escalated fast.

    But what makes Heath’s story so remarkable isn’t just where he came from—it’s who he became. Those who knew Heath early in recovery remember someone filled with rage and pain. And yet, over time, something extraordinary happened. The anger gave way to humility. The chaos turned into compassion.

    Today, Heath has transformed into someone people rely on. A man who looks out for the people who struggle the most in the room. The quiet ones. The outsiders. The ones who feel like they don’t belong—because he knows exactly what that feels like.

    This episode is about identity, adoption, addiction, and what happens when someone decides to grow beyond the story they were handed. Heath’s journey is proof that where you start in life doesn’t determine where you end up.

    Sometimes the people who begin the most lost end up becoming the ones who guide others home.

  • From Dope to Director: The Rise of Zac Jones
    Jun 14 2025

    Zac Jones’s life could have gone in any direction. Raised in a loving home, he still found himself pulled into a world of chaos—drugs, crime, and self-destruction. What began as thrill-seeking soon spiraled into full-blown addiction. With his future hanging by a thread, Zac hit rock bottom—only to rise with a strength and purpose that would change everything.

    In this powerful episode, we explore Zac’s transformation—from a man haunted by loss and caught in destructive patterns, to a caring leader at the helm of one of the world’s foremost treatment centers. After completing the Beit T’Shuvah program himself, Zac felt a calling: “my purpose was to help others recover and … give back to the organization that saved my life”

    His rise is a story of full-circle redemption.

    This episode isn’t just about leadership—it’s about legacy. Zac beat every odd: personal loss, spiritual loss, addiction, and crime.

    Join us for a conversation that proves: no matter where you start, no matter what or who you lose, it’s never too late to rewrite your story—and help thousands do the same.

  • Young, Sober, and Unstoppable: Bridget Lieberman’s Brave Beginning
    Jun 6 2025

    Some people get sober after they've lost everything. Bridget Lieberman got sober before she had the chance to.

    Growing up in Los Angeles with a complicated and often confusing upbringing, Bridget was already running on fumes by the time she hit 15. Her story could have gone the way so many others do—addiction deepening, consequences piling up, another young life slipping through the cracks. But Brigette did something extraordinary: she stopped running.

    In this inspiring and heartfelt episode, we celebrate Bridget's first full year of sobriety—a milestone that hits different when you’re still so young. She shares what it’s like to be 21 and sober in a world that glorifies partying, and how she’s learning to live honestly, fearlessly, and with intention.

    What amazes me most about Bridget isn’t just her courage—it’s her clarity. Because while many people don’t find recovery until their thirties, forties, or beyond, Bridget chose life now. And that choice makes her a force—especially for the countless young women who see themselves in her and realize they don’t have to wait until it gets worse.

    This episode is a reminder: recovery doesn’t have an age requirement. And sometimes, the youngest voices carry the most wisdom.

  • From Misfit to Mentor: The Reinvention of Andrew Eaton
    May 22 2025

    Andrew Eaton never quite fit the mold. Raised by a mother immersed in the arts, he grew up in motion—always moving, always searching, never quite landing. Surrounded by beauty and creativity, he still felt like an outsider, like he’d missed the part where life made sense. So he went looking for belonging in the one place it would never last: heroin.

    What started as an escape quickly became a death sentence. Andrew's body began to collapse under the weight of addiction—a devastating bone infection nearly ended his life. He was falling apart physically, emotionally, spiritually. And then, finally, he surrendered.

    This episode follows Andrew's harrowing fall and breathtaking rise—from a dying addict to a man who now breathes purpose into others. Today, Andrew is a fierce and compassionate coach, guiding young men from the brink of death into the beauty of life. He teaches them not just how to survive—but how to live.

    Andrew Eaton is a living reminder that who you were doesn’t have to be who you are. He was broken. Now, he builds. And what he’s building is saving lives.
