Shownotes: Blindsided by Benzos EP #20
Filmmaker Deke Ludwig’s viral short film Seeing changed how Toni experiences the world—teaching the life-shifting truth that “the ordinary is extraordinary.” In this raw, powerful conversation, Deke shares how the film’s message shaped his life and how a doctor-prescribed benzodiazepine for mild anxiety and insomnia nearly destroyed it. Learn the warning signs, recovery truths, and science-backed wellbeing skills that can protect you and the people you love from medical overprescription and help you reclaim joy.
