This Naked Mind Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Annie is remarkable and has helped me to allow myself grace and compassion. She has also helped me to understand that I am not crazy. Alcohol is an addictive drug that society has mainstreamed into acceptance. We have to change the narrative for our kids and it starts with looking inward so we can live outward.

Annie is so great about opening up and talking about something that most people think is taboo. I was so dependent on alcohol because at the time I was dealing with an abusive marriage a dead end job. It felt like there was no escaping, and my only outlet was drinking. After making changes in my life and leaving my marriage, I became sober and it was the best thing I could’ve ever done. Thank you so much for speaking about addiction and overcoming it!

I look forward to listening to the new episode every Thursday night when I drive home from work. Some of the episodes resonate SO much. I like how no-nonsense the podcast is— no long intros or ads. Thank you for everything Annie 🙏🏽

Your podcast and book is awesome! I love the title of your book because it talks about the brain, which is our most important organ in our body. I think it gets more readers that way! I know that if I saw a book that said something extreme like “just stop drinking” I wouldn’t have been interested in reading when I was severely addicted to alcohol! You’re clever title may very well help save lives! Alcoholism is a progressive disease and it kills. It also hurts the people we love, and negatively impacts all aspects of our lives. I almost lost my life to alcoholism and I’m grateful to the doctors who saved mine. Your book & podcast is so great because you’re not just telling people to just stop drinking, instead you’re asking them to look at their relationship to drinking. By doing this, you may get more people who have a problem with substances read/listen to your book & podcast. For me, I drank because I had major surgery and was in abusive relationships. I isolated myself completely. My drinking ultimately lead me to the hospital, as I was in active withdrawals trying to quit on my own. It was an awful experience and definitely a wake up call! I would not wish that experience on anyone!! My case represents the worst case scenario, besides death. I was very addicted and I didn’t want to admit it. I have been sober for 4 months now and all aspects of my life have improved…my health, my relationships, my financial stability, etc… I am fine calling myself an alcoholic these days because of the severity of my addiction. I go to AA everyday…a life saver for me. I used to be so against AA and thought it was a cult but my disease had gotten so bad, I just needed to be around people and so I decided to try AA. I know AA isn’t the only way to sobriety, but for me it was all that was available to me and I took the courage to go.
Thank you Annie! Your helping to save lives!

Hello, the audio quality of the podcasts is very cheaply produced and difficult to listen to. The host’s voice is significantly louder than all guest’s voices making for a difficult and annoying listening experience. Will be unsubscribing for that reason.
