Episode 152 - Fighting My Way Out of Addiction after College with guest Dr. Amanda Fialk
With a mind wired for academic success, Amanda thought she was prepared to take on college. What she didn’t expect though, was that her underdeveloped social and emotional skills would push her towards substance abuse and addiction. After a near-death experience, rehab and a lot of self-reflection, Amanda eventually found her passion in helping teens and young adults recover from their own addictions. Join Joanna on this episode of Success is Subjective to hear how Amanda survived some of the darkest moments of her life and how she then co-created The Dorm, an organization that helps other young people do the same.

Success is Subjective: Helping parents of college students accept that dropping out is okay
Interviews of people who took a break from life at one point or another to get help, grow up, or just to reassess their life direction. Some guests struggled with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, a death in the family, or just decided college was not the place for them. These stories are all-to-real, and yet we don't talk enough about how common it is for those who took a gap year to defer college, went to college and took a break, or those who struggled launching into the workforce post-college graduation. This goes out to all the young adults and parents of young adults who are struggling and contemplating what will happen if they walk away right now.Join Podchaser to...
