In the first part of a two-part series on anxiety - journalist, writer, and creative queen Dannielle Piper joins me to discuss our experiences in dating as people with anxiety. Connecting in J-school over a shared love of self-deprecating memes and dark humour, Dannielle has always been a comforting space to confide in. In this episode, we discuss attachment styles, advice we've learned through our own personal experiences, and the importance of collective healing. But most importantly, to not shy away from your feelings! As Dannielle says best: "Your anxiety is a messenger and it's trying to tell you something about yourself." [This episode was recorded in May 2022].
