In this episode of Overcoming Adversity, powered by Next Level Recovery Associates, Amanda Marino and Sarah Frias sit down with therapist Eric Bricker—aka the “cool kid” of behavioral health.

From cringey networking intros to real talk on grief, trauma, and post-COVID mental health, Eric keeps it honest and insightful. We cover the evolution of treatment, the power of human connection, and even abandoned apple slices in car seats.

It’s full of heart. Tune in—you’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you might even heal a little.

In this episode of the Overcoming Adversity Podcast, hosts Amanda Marino and Sarah Frias toss the script and let the conversation flow—from navigating negativity on social media to building a business rooted in purpose and partnership. They open up about how opposite strengths make them stronger together, why vulnerability is their superpower, and how grit—not perfection—drives long-term success. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, toxic energy, or showing up authentically in a noisy world, this one’s for you. Real talk, real laughs, and real reminders of why you should keep going—even when it’s hard.

In this episode of Overcoming Adversity, Amanda Marino and Sarah Frias sit down with their friend and special guest Craig Robinson—a South Florida attorney who's not only helping families through the legal maze of the Marchman Act and guardianships, but also someone who’s walked the recovery road himself.

Craig gets real about his past, how he ended up in Florida, and why he and his law partner Richard Casey are doing things differently when it comes to supporting families in crisis. We talk interventions, court orders, recovery culture, and yes—how sometimes the legal system can actually be an act of love.

There’s plenty of laughs, a few birthday shout-outs (Aries + Taurus season!), some pet peeves (hello, random "how are you?" texts), and lots of good vibes.

If you’ve ever wondered how the legal world and the recovery world can work together, this one’s a must-listen.
