October 24, 2023 limiting parasocial relationships… no more idolizing celebs!
In this episode Simmy discusses parasocial relationships: how to identify them, how they can negatively impact our sense of reality, and how she has set up boundaries to avoid them.

Learn all about it in this episode!
Sending so much love, validation, and prayers to all the innocent lives impacted in Palestine and Israel, and everyone just trying to keep going in these heartbreaking times.
