Lindsay and Emily are sisters that both have OCD. Being two totally different people, they have had their own personal experiences with OCD and different means of tackling it. Though, this doesn't stop them from helping each other and anyone with their mental health. Their pursuit for a reminder of all their learnings from the therapy they had engaged in brought them to the creation of Presently, a brand of braecelets with affirmations and reminders rooted in the cognitive-behavorial approach engraved on them. These are therapy-inspired quotations that counter toxic positivity, which are words of affirmation that might be more destructive than helpful. 

In this episode we talk about:

◾️ Different kinds of OCD and therapy ◾️ Making mental health a more manageable part of everyday life ◾️ Toxic positivity
