As a special unreleased episode from May, Jenn and Lily honor mental health awareness month! They're talkin' about Thinking Traps! These traps prevent us from seeing things as they are. Otherwise known as cognitive distortions, thinking traps are often deeply ingrained in our psyche that most of us aren't aware of. So let's FREE YOUR MIND from common thinking traps, learn some tools, try to find some positivity AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW!
If there were any smattering of words strung together by a melody that better suits this week's theme, we haven't found them. "What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't belong here." The imagery of Tom Yorke struggling through his teenage angst at a posh university, penning this smash hit song, which he would later come to despise because of its success, is poetic in itself. Imposter syndrome. It's a thing!
Do you ever feel like a fraud in some aspects of your life? Are you unable to accept all of your accomplishments? Ever question if you deserve the accolades you are receiving? Check! Check! Check! If you've answered yes to all of the above, you too could be in a British rock band and write chart-topping melancholic hits.
Join us as we discuss imposter syndrome and share with you how to recognize it in yourself. Let's learn about ways of coping and keeping your mental health in one piece.
If TLC has taught us anything, we should never tolerate someone hanging out the passenger side of their best friend's ride, tryin' to holla; but what about our relationships with social media, friends, and even ourselves? How do we navigate the toxicity around us to fulfill our own mental health. This week, we take the 'Scrubs' to the curb.
One of the biggest ways we can help more people struggling with mental illness is by having the proper information available for them. There are so many myths, stigmas, and misleading tidbits of information out there that halt people in their tracks when they wish to seek help. In this week's episode, we start with breaking down some of the stigmas associated with going on antidepressants.
We're BAAAAACK!! We're "stronger than yesterday, something something something but a mile away...."

Join Jenn as she sips on her Mimosa and Lily as she frantically remembers to take her meds on this week's fun-filled episode!
When the universe finally allows you the time to work on your self-care, where the heck do you begin? Our good friend and "self-care newbie" Laura McMullin joins us to discuss the journey towards empowering herself by making the choice to put her mental health first. This episode features lots of giggling and spontaneous outbursts. Sorry, not sorry.
