Addiction, Art, and Adult Conversations with Eve

In this episode, I sit down with Eve, a talented artist from Kazakhstan, for a raw, unfiltered, and deeply honest conversation about her journey through addiction, psychosis, and the messy reality of long-term recovery. Eve doesn’t offer a polished, packaged recovery story; instead, she shares the real, sometimes funny, and often terrifying moments that forced her to rediscover who she truly is. This is a conversation about identity, boundaries, and the exhausting but beautiful process of learning to live at peace with yourself.

It’s not an interview, a debate or a productivity podcast. It’s two people sitting down (virtually or physically) and letting one simple idea open the door. The core idea has always been people from different cultures, countries, and backgrounds talking honestly and discovering that underneath the differences, the emotional experiences are often the same. I’m not trying to extract expertise, nor am I trying to “win” the conversation. I’m not trying to go viral with shock value. I’m just trying to meet the human behind the identity.
