About this listen

In this episode, JoJo sits down with Dr. Robb Kelly, a leading addiction recovery expert with decades of experience helping individuals and families understand addiction, trauma, and the path to sustainable recovery.Dr. Kelly breaks down what addiction actually is - beyond stereotypes, shame, and moral judgment - and explains why willpower alone is never the answer. Together, we talk about control, coping, relapse, accountability, and the very human reasons people turn to substances in the first place. This conversation goes deep, honest, and unfiltered - without oversimplifying something that affects millions of people in different ways.And yes, before dedicating his life to recovery work, Dr. Kelly was also a professional musician who played at Abbey Road Studios.Because apparently some people collect resumes, and others just casually live six different lives.Before the interview, Fame, Flames, and Feelings takes a hard look at how we treat addiction when it plays out in public, using celebrity culture to unpack stigma, spectacle, and our obsession with redemption arcs.And after the interview, The Audacity Files: Recovery Edition is back - calling out the wild confidence, bad takes, and unsolicited opinions people love to share about addiction while knowing absolutely nothing.This episode isn’t just about addiction.It’s about judgment, control, humanity - and what it actually takes to change the conversation.Listener discretion advised. Heavy topics, honest conversations, and zero sugarcoating.________________________________________The ROAR Gallery is a digital wall of encouragement where people can upload short video messages for individuals and families going through tough times, especially during hospital stays.
