In this episode, I delve into social anxiety disorder (SAD). I go into the differences between social anxiety and shyness, and the neuroscience behind social anxiety, including the role of the amygdala and the impact of serotonin and dopamine on our behavior.

The episode covers the DSM-5 definition of social anxiety disorder, and I share practical advice on how to manage social anxiety, including exposure therapy, cognitive reappraisal, and social skills practice.

If you're struggling with social anxiety, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you understand and manage your symptoms.

Life Advice Episode!

(Trigger warning) In this episode we cover dealing with infant loss and friends and family who did not provide support, how to forgive them? (IF you can forgive them). 

Then we talk about how to take on information from a psychic, is it set in stone? Is it a self fulfilling prophecy? 

Lastly I answer a listener question around learning how to be funny. Is it possible to teach this or is it a personality trait you either have or don't. 

One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of self-awareness and being able to read the room. I discuss how humor can be a powerful tool for coping with mental health and building connections with others.

Welcome to day 5! the final day of the Self Love Mini Series. 

In this episode, I will teach you about the importance of independence in cultivating self-love and self-respect. Independence is often misunderstood as being the same as being hyper-independent, but the two are actually quite different. One  is a fear response that can lead to an inability to trust oneself and others, whereas the other is about trusting oneself and being open to vulnerability and connection.

By building healthy independence, you can start to prioritize yourself, set your own standards, and open yourself up to connection and vulnerability. 

Hope you have enjoyed this mini series! So excited to bring it back.
