My name is Emily Laing. I'm an actress, writer, singer, recovering addict, survivor and currently en route back from the land of self destruct.
In January 2022 I suffered a nervous breakdown and was convinced my life was over. Turns out - it wasn't. I white knuckled my way out and want to help others who feel the same way that I did. So...
Have you ever found yourself feeling entirely alone? In a place so dark that you can't see a way out? Me too!
Rock bottoms, codependency, rehab, C/PTSD, survival, shameovers. You name it, we discuss it.
Join the journey of recovery and healing and rid the shame!

Customer Reviews
Incredibly helpful and even healing
I randomly came across Emily’s podcast while looking for anything that could help me not feel so alone. Ironically I found this podcast, “Why do you think you’ve got no friends”. Wasn’t sure what it was all about, but to my surprise was exactly what I needed at this time and place. Emily really leaves you with a bit of hope after each episode, along with this feeling that you aren’t really alone, that there is way out.
Refreshingly Honest & Witty
I have to admit, the title of the podcast alone had me raising an eyebrow in curiosity & was fully prepared to bear witness to a trainwreck. But I never knew how much I needed this raw honesty, delightfully lucid self-awareness perspective on Emily’s path to healing. I related far more than I would have ever admitted to myself. Laughed, cried quietly on a bench, listened over and over again when I felt I was unredeemable. Thank you, Emily, so so much. 🙏🏽
