Q&A
What I talk about
Pick a theme or describe your audience and I will shape it to them.
How gambling gets normalised inside a family
Pitching quarters, the office pool, a grandfather's card game. Most people can trace it back to something nobody thought twice about.
Early exposure and what it sets up
What starts at eight or fifteen shapes what happens at thirty. This is the part prevention programmes keep skipping.
The illusion of control
Tracking the money, setting limits, promising to stop after this one. Why believing you are managing it is the addiction talking.
What recovery actually asks of you
Accountability, vulnerability, and doing what people with real time suggest instead of believing you know better.
