Hosted by radio and TV personality Peter Rosenberg, who’s lived the highs of applause and the crash that follows, the show features honest conversations with experts and listeners about relationships, fame, social media, shame, and identity. No easy answers, just a real look at what happens when validation becomes the drug. Hosted on Acast.

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.
