The Halfachickenlaksa Show
Podcast Description
Like many people living with ADHD, I was left feeling dissatisfied and uncertain in life—so I took a leap of faith. In 2025, with encouragement from close friends, I created The Halfachickenlaksa Show—a long-form conversation podcast designed to engage, inform and perhaps inspire others. With a background in school-teaching and psychotherapy, and a deep curiosity to understand what makes people tick, I sit down with fascinating people and attempt to uncover what drives them, trying to understand how we can all live richer, and more fulfilling lives.

Aloon Nguyen is a courier from Bankstown NSW, whose life took a significant turn when he was charged with supplying a commercial quantity of methyl-amphetamine, serving 1.5 years in a correctional facility.
In this episode, Aloon opens up about his early life experiences, the circumstances that led him down that path, and how his time in prison ultimately shaped who he is today.
We dive into themes of accountability, growth, and mental health — exploring the challenges he faced, the lessons he’s learned, and the mindset shifts that have helped him move forward.
As always, we finish with The Halfachickenlaksa Show’s signature reflective questions.
