    The Hopeaholics

    Chad Carlsen started The Hopeaholics Podcast after his soon-to-be son-in-law died of fentanyl poisoning. Not as therapy. As a response to a crisis that kills tens of thousands of people a year while most of the country looks the other way.

    Hosted by Chad and WWE superstar Natalie Eva Marie, The Hopeaholics brings on survivors of addiction, mental illness, and the kind of rock-bottom moments most people never talk about. Long-form, unfiltered conversations with people in recovery, families who’ve lost someone, and the professionals working inside the addiction treatment system.

    327+ episodes. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.

    Sabyn Mayfield: Crossing The Bridge to Recovery | The Hopeaholics Podcast
    Sabyn Mayfield, CEO of Brigid Recovery, delivers a raw and inspiring account of his 20-year journey through addiction, trauma, and recovery. As a former client of Brigid Recovery, a trauma-focused residential workshop in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Sabyn shares how his struggles with sobriety and identity, compounded by a career in film and music, led him to confront deep-seated family-of-origin trauma. He emphasizes the relativity of trauma, the transformative power of addressing shame, and the importance of becoming one’s own loving parent, offering insights into Brigid’s non-medical approach that prioritizes “what happened to you” over diagnosis. Sabyn’s candid reflections on spiritual bottoms, the necessity of daily recovery practices, and the liberation of the Ninth Step resonate deeply, while his personal anecdotes—such as his familial connection to Dolly Parton and his mother’s Emmy-winning casting career—add a unique layer to his story. Recorded with authenticity and humor, this episode underscores the podcast’s mission to foster hope, highlighting Sabyn’s shift from chaos to empowerment and his commitment to helping others heal, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating recovery or seeking to understand trauma’s lasting impact.

    Chris Eckfeldt: "GOD SUSPENDED ME" | The Hopeaholics Podcast
    Chris Eckfeldt’s unforgettable journey through darkness to hope will grip your soul. In 2023, a catastrophic mountain biking accident in San Clemente shattered Chris’s spine, robbing him of his legs and thrusting him into a world of unrelenting physical and emotional turmoil. Once an avid rider tearing down trails with the MTB Maniacs, he faced the stark reality of paralysis, his life forever altered in a single, harrowing moment. The protective “bubble” of rehab in Denver offered a temporary sanctuary, where logistics were managed and hope flickered. But returning home to the same streets and faces that once defined his vibrant life was a crushing awakening—every task, from bathroom access to car travel, became a labyrinth of adaptation. Job loss struck like a sledgehammer, stripping away his sense of purpose, while wrong medications, particularly Cymbalta, spiraled him into a vortex of anxiety and despair, fueling two suicide attempts that nearly ended his story. Yet, in the depths of that darkness, Chris found a lifeline. Through relentless self-advocacy, he secured the right medication—low-dose Wellbutrin—restoring clarity and stability. Bolstered by his wife Domini’s unwavering support, who stood firm through fear and heartache, and a renewed faith that saw divine purpose in his survival, Chris began to rebuild. He discovered that his pain could light the way for others, not through grand gestures but through the raw, honest sharing of his journey.

    Ian Heinisch: "I'M DONE PRETENDING" | The Hopeaholics Podcast
    From UFC fame to foreign prisons, Ian Heinisch’s journey is one of chaos, redemption, and unshakable faith. On this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Ian takes us deep into the gritty truth of a life shaped by addiction, violence, smuggling ecstasy, and international fugitive status—all before the age of 21. But in his darkest moment, faced with the weight of his choices and no way out, Ian cried out to God… and everything changed. He walks us through the chaos of being arrested in Canada, fleeing to Europe, serving time in Spanish prisons, and eventually finding faith, recovery, and purpose. Now an entrepreneur and public speaker, Ian opens up about how hitting rock bottom became the catalyst for a spiritual awakening—and how anyone, no matter how far gone, can change their story. This is a wild, emotional, and inspiring ride you don’t want to miss.

    Tommy Gunn: Adult Films Saved His Life | The Hopeaholics Podcast
    In this raw and deeply human episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, we sit down with legendary adult film star Tommy Gunn, whose decades-long career includes hundreds of film credits, industry awards, and mainstream appearances—but behind the fame lies a powerful story of pain, perseverance, and redemption. Tommy opens up about discovering his mother’s suicide at 27, a trauma that shattered his world and sent him spiraling through years of emotional suppression, addiction, and physical devastation—including a career-ending injury that left him in a wheelchair and a failed marriage that pushed him deeper into drug use. At his lowest point, alone in an apartment with a loaded gun and a goodbye note scrawled on a chalkboard, Tommy came face to face with death—and chose life. Ironically, the adult film industry became his turning point, giving him discipline, direction, and the unexpected path to survival. From blue-collar roots to rock bottom and back again, Tommy’s story is a gripping reminder that healing isn’t linear—and that hope can rise from even the darkest places.

He opens up about the moment his wife went to treatment, a turning point that shattered his emotional walls and forced him to surrender everything he thought he knew about life, purpose, and manhood.

He talks about building a brotherhood among his clients, opening space for testimonies, and finding divine purpose in helping men navigate addiction, mental health, and self-worth. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that discipline, faith, and showing up for yourself—and others—can rewrite your entire story.

    Dr. Richard Morgan: The Life-changing Pill | The Hopeaholics Podcast
    Welcome back to the Hopeaholics podcast, where we dive deep into the realities of mental health and addiction. In this episode, we are honored to have Dr. Richard Morgan as our guest, who shares his powerful journey through addiction and recovery. Dr. Richard Morgan recounts a journey of addiction that begins during medical school, where he starts writing prescriptions for himself. This eventually leads to his arrest by federal agents on May 15, 2007, for conspiracy to distribute OxyContin—ten years after he first takes a pill. Despite coming from a respected background as a physician, he faces the same addiction challenges as others, noting that "addiction doesn't know any boundaries." He shares his experiences in rehab and his ongoing efforts to recover by educating future doctors about the power and responsibility they hold in prescribing medications. Dr. Morgan emphasizes the importance of seeking help, recalling how his addiction affects his life, including losing his family and job. By sharing his story with students, he aims to raise awareness about addiction and promote compassion for those affected.
