Why Can't We Talk About It?
Let's talk more about our emotions. It can be so hard to do, but it gets a lot easier when we open up to each other. Whether it's overwhelming anxiety in social situations, body image issues, or adjusting to major life changes, it helps to know that there are others who genuinely understand what you're going through. That's why we started this podcast: so you can feel seen, while you listen along.
