  • 5. Being Human is Hard (Therapy is for Everyone!)
    Sep 27 2022

    Being human is a challenging business and having someone to talk to and explore your experiences is invaluable. Let's bust the myth that therapy is only for certain people or dire circumstances! We'll talk about why friends and family just aren't the same (and it's not fair to expect them to be!), why online therapy is actually a great option, and how to interview your counselor/therapist to make sure they're a good match for you. AND if you already have a counselor, how to assess and communicate your needs with them for better sessions.

    Empowering stuff!

  • 4. Smoothies Can't Fix This (Toxic Positivity)
    Sep 11 2022

    Why is it that some advice that seems so simple and optimistic can make us feel, well... crappy? It might be Toxic Positivity. Rarely can anything be fixed by "being more positive" and when we come across things like this it can make us feel invalidated, or shameful. Let's talk about how to spot invalidating posts and comments, and what to do for ourselves in those moments. 

    This episode includes a simple mindfulness practice that is great for growing self awareness - I think you'll find it useful!

  • 3. What's Love Got to Do With It? (Self Love)
    Sep 2 2022

    How can we grow that most elusive kind of love, the love we feel for ourselves?! It can help to take some baby steps, like thinking about self compassion and self acceptance first. Turns out being kinder to ourselves can have a huge positive impact on our wellbeing. We'll also learn about neural pathways and how we can actually grow healthier beliefs! Pretty amazing stuff. I hope it inspires you!
