Carl is joined by Maddi Reese, DJ and star of Bravo’s Southern Hospitality, for an honest conversation about sobriety, reality TV, and the mutual respect they share. Maddi opens up about getting sober at 16, building a career in nightlife without drinking, and why confrontation is essential to protecting her recovery.

From breaking family cycles to finding euphoria through music, Maddi shares her journey with anxiety, resentment, and building an authentic life 12 years into sobriety.
