Diary Of An Anxious Girlie

You know that friend everyone calls when life gets messy? I know a lot of people who can relate. The one who always has advice, remembers everyone's birthday, checks in after the breakup, and somehow seems to have it all together?

Yeah… her.

In this episode we're talking about the strong friend and the emotional labor that comes with it.

We’re getting into the psychology behind it all and why some people become the “strong one” in their friendships, and how constantly being the person who holds everyone else together creates a parent-child dynamic.

But this isn't another episode telling you to “check on your strong friends.”

We're going deeper.

I'll share three specific ways to actually show up for your strong friend without waiting for her to fall apart or ask for help.

But If you're the strong friend listening to this episode - this one is especially for you!

Listen to the end and ask yourself: Have I been taking my strong friend for granted?

Hi girlies,

Welcome to my podcast! This is special to me because I have spent the last three years unlearning anxious thoughts. So, I am bringing all the coping mechanisms that I am still working on so we can grow together.

My goal is to make sure you feel less anxious every day so you can actually enjoy being present and trust that everything will be okay!

xox,

Lets regulate together!

What if I told you that the city you live in may or may not shape your personality? In this episode, we explore the psychology of your physical and digital environments and how they can affect our nervous system.

Just a list of things I learned in my 20s!! What’s your list?

Grace isn’t something you do, it’s something you receive. And I think a lot of us have forgotten that. In this episode, I sat down with my friend Karrick to have a real conversation about what grace actually looks like, because honestly? We need it more than ever right now, especially for the girlies in their 20s and 30s.

Buyers remorse is real and it’s because of social media. In this episode, we explore the impact of buyers remorse and the 3-3-3 rule to make better decisions together!

Like it or hate it, we all play roles in our friendships. And you already know yours. If you think you don’t play a role, you are lying to yourself…… but if you have felt like you are always the planner or the fringe friend, this episode is for you!

You are showing up, answering emails, saying you’re fine and almost meaning it. In this episode, we are talking about high functioning burnout: how to recognize it in yourself and others, and what to do. Surveys, research and psychology are important in understanding the effects of burnout, especially for high achieving girlies. So if you’ve ever told yourself “at least I’m showing up” then you absolutely need to listen to this.

I invited my most regulated friend on this episode to talk about what else to do to stop overthinking.

Remember, there’s a difference between a thought and thinking. So in this episode, we are going to unpack the difference between processing our emotions, ruminating and spiraling.

Emerging adulthood is fun but it can also feel lonely. As an extrovert, I recharge by being around people. So for this episode, we explore how solo traveling can become a way to re energize the extroverted mind.
