## Resource

Peter Rosenberg sits down with Dave Manheim, host of the Dopey Podcast, for an honest conversation about addiction, recovery, validation, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Dave opens up about his own journey, the realities of recovery, and the role that accountability, self-worth, and connection play in living a healthier life. Together, he and Peter explore how validation can show up in unexpected ways and why learning to separate our identity from the approval of others is often one of the hardest parts of personal growth. At its core, this episode is about honesty, empathy, and the ongoing work of understanding ourselves a little better.
