The OCD Confessional
The OCD Confessional is a podcast about living, laughing, and coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Hosted by former TV news anchor Liam Martin and actress/model Alicia Hill — two friends who both live with OCD — this show blends raw honesty, practical tools, expert insights, and plenty of laughs.
Each episode, Liam, Alicia and a special guest will “confess” the craziest intrusive thoughts and compulsions they’ve battled, from absurd rituals to embarrassing moments, and share the tools that actually help them get through. With candid conversations and occasional input from OCD experts, The OCD Confessional is part storytelling, part survival guide, and part comedy therapy session.
Whether you’re living with OCD, supporting someone who is, or just curious about what it’s like inside an OCD brain, this podcast offers hope, humor, and community. Because sometimes -- we laugh to keep from crying.
Disclaimer: The OCD Confessional is about real experiences with obsessive-compulsive disorder. While we use humor to share our stories, it is never our intention to minimize the very real suffering OCD causes. Our goal is to share stories, coping tools, and hope. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, please dial 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or find local resources where you are.
