Rich questions the morality assigned to messiness, and Rox explains why “fitting in” always came at the cost of authenticity. They break down social hierarchies, unspoken rules, and why direct communication often feels like rebellion. If you’ve ever felt like you missed the memo on how to be “normal,” this episode will make you feel seen — and probably make you laugh.

ADDICTED TO EVERYTHING: How addiction starts, why it sticks, and how to let go

In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox dive into the messy reality of addiction—far beyond the stereotypes of vodka bottles and rock bottoms. From alcohol and gambling to phone scrolling, comfort eating, and chasing validation, we explore the many ways addiction hides in plain sight. We talk openly about our own experiences with compulsive behaviors, the childhood trauma that fed them, and the shame that kept them alive. We unpack why it’s so hard to stop: the relief it brings, the shame it creates, and the terrifying thought of life without it. We also share what actually helped us heal. From the moment we admitted there was a problem, to the small, brave steps that pulled us out of the cycle—one day at a time. This episode isn’t just about sobriety; it’s about self-understanding, compassion, and change. If you’ve ever wondered, why can’t I stop doing this thing I hate?—this one’s for you.
