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 ... more

  • Thank you

    Emily, you’ve made me feel sane, understood, and like I’ll be ok. Even if I’m crying along relating, I feel safe. I got here from your episode on your brothers podcast. The comments you received about your voice being soothing are accurate. I feel calm. Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Self indulgent

    While I enjoy the way this podcast is written and the important topics it covers, claiming to have experienced ‘it all’ without any acknowledgement of privilege makes this podcast feel self indulgent and catered to the well off.

  • 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. 🙏🏽
