What if the only real addiction isn’t alcohol, drugs, or even relationships…

…but suffering?

In this powerful and honest conversation, I’m joined by Robin H. Clare, trauma recovery advocate and author of Feast & Famine: Healing Addiction with Grace. Robin shares her deeply personal journey through childhood trauma, eating disorders, addiction, and ultimately profound emotional and spiritual healing.

We explore the radical idea that addiction is not about substances — it’s about unresolved pain. That we can become unconsciously attached to familiar suffering. And that true recovery begins not with force or control… but compassion.

Robin speaks openly about:

• Childhood trauma and survival patterns
• Addiction as a response to emotional wounding
• The body’s role in holding trauma
• The illusion of control
• Shame, self-judgment, and the nervous system
• Why healing requires gentleness, not punishment
• How grace becomes the turning point

This episode is honest, raw, and deeply hopeful.

If you’ve ever struggled with addiction — to substances, food, validation, control, or even painful thoughts — this conversation may shift the way you see yourself.

There is nothing wrong with you.
Your nervous system was protecting you.

And healing is possible.
