I'm not saying that I have a gift, I'm saying the gift was that they picked me and I do think that has a lot to do with the empath thing.
Have you ever wondered how someone can go from a life of rock and roll chaos to becoming a world-renowned cat behaviorist? This episode of Dopey brings you the fascinating story of Jackson Galaxy, the star of Animal Planet's 'My Cat From Hell'. Before he was helping troubled felines, Jackson was battling his own demons with food addiction, benzos, and booze.
His candid chat with hosts Dave and Chris uncovers the gritty details of his journey from substance abuse to sobriety, revealing how his love for cats became his lifeline. Jackson opens up about his early struggles with food addiction, which eventually spiraled into more serious substance abuse. He doesn't shy away from discussing the dark times, including the challenges of staying sober during the COVID-19 pandemic. But it's not all doom and gloom.

He talks about how creativity and imagination played crucial roles in his recovery and how finding his purpose in life—helping cats—became a beacon of light in his darkest hours. And there's more! Dave's dad, Alan, makes a longer-than-usual appearance, adding his own unique perspective to the mix. Plus, the episode features emails and reviews from listeners, making it a well-rounded and engaging listen.
