Self-Soothing To Be Less Anxious While Working In Corporate America May 09, 2022

Show notes

Hey, girl, hey! Recently, right as I was hopping off of an Instagram Live a young lady asked me about self-soothing. I wasn't able to discuss it then, so thought the podcast would be an excellent place to provide some insight.

In this episode I talk about what self-soothing is, why I feel that it in some cases it's a band-aid fix (but definitely a tool for our self-care tool kits) and also some ways to do it to bring down stress levels and anxiety.
