Still Social Media Spiraling -Season 4 Finale Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

We're still occasionally spiraling about social media, so yet again this year we made an annual social media episode. In it we discuss an our individual relationship to it, how we use it for work, for connection, for comparing and disappearing, and how we're managing our anxiety that comes up around it. We talk about both using it as a consumer and from the creating, contributing, and sharing perspective so regardless of how you use it we hope this conversation makes you feel less alone, or is interesting, or entertaining. Would love to how social media impacts your anxiety.

Episode 6: 'Tis the Season to Spiral Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

This week our annual holiday episode. The holidays are often a time for heightened emotions, obligations, perhaps travel, hosting, gifting, nostalgia, and general busyness--making them a season for anxiety to run high. So every year we talk about our anxiety around the holiday season and the management tools, tips, and ideas that have helped us and hope will help us this year. Plus our contrasting opinions of the holidays, what we're looking forward to this year and more.

Episode 5: In Flux: Friend Breakups, Rescheduling Plans, Embracing Uncertainty, and Moving On Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

This week we talked about being okay with changing our opinions and our goals. Living with uncertainty (things can change at any moment). Breakups/Friendships, not trying to hold on to the past, nostalgia. Prioritizing relationships that feel mutual and good, being warm over trying to be cool. Sticking to plans rather than rescheduling as an anxiety management tool and much more.

We need to Talk...Or not? Communicating Anxiety in Relationships Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

This week we revisit how we talk about our anxiety with others. A topic we covered 3 years ago in season one, we update on how discussions have changed with friends/family/significant others. (i.e. Serena doesn’t talk to Logan about her anxiety much anymore.) Feeling (un)comfortable communicating about mental health. And how outside of therapy and this show neither of us talk much about our mental health in our daily lives, although in the past we have.

In this final episode of season 3, review the wild year of 2021 . We covered work, relationships, mental health and more as we went through our highs and spirals of year.
