In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author of Dopamine Nation, to unpack the invisible grip dopamine has on our everyday lives.

We explore why pleasure and pain are two sides of the same coin, how even “normal” habits like work, social media, or Netflix can spiral into addiction, and what it truly takes to reset your brain’s reward system.

🌿 Whether you’re battling burnout, struggling with compulsive behaviors, or curious about the science behind why you can’t put your phone down, this episode offers deep insights and actionable strategies.

✨ In this episode, we cover:

✔ Why dopamine drives both pleasure and pain — and how it tips into addiction

✔ How to know if your habits are recreational or addictive

✔ The science of dopamine fasting (and why it’s so hard but so worth it)

✔ How work can become a “drug” — and how to protect your mental health

✔ What Dr. Anna and I have personally done to reset our own dopamine balances
