🎙️ Hosted by: Angie & Shelly

Episode Summary: Today, Angie and Shelly dive into a topic that affects us all but isn’t talked about nearly enough—mental health. From anxiety, ADHD, depression, and PTSD to the struggles of phone anxiety and panic attacks, they get real about their own experiences and how they’ve learned to navigate them.

They also explore why mental health stigma still exists, how coping strategies and support systems make a difference, and why it’s absolutely okay to get help when you need it. And, because it wouldn’t be Hot Flash Chronicles without some laughs, they wrap up with a rapid-fire Q&A full of the most random, ridiculous questions ever.
