This week I share about redecorating the office space, crying over couches and the magic of computers. But most importantly we talk about my inner asshole getting louder over the last week, and how instead of listening to it, this time I reached out to someone and asked for critique.
Opening ourselves up to feedback, especially when it's something you're invested in and care a lot about is incredibly uncomfortable. So this was definitely uncharted territory for me, but I'm so glad I did it.

This episode discusses:

• The inner critic
• The difference between asking for feedback and asking for critique
• Learning not to quit when things get hard
• Letting go of perfectionism

After two years of lockdowns and anxiety, it seems like it might really be time to return back to the real world, to return to in-person socialization, and I'm realizing it's a lot harder than I thought it would be. 
This week I share the experience of attending my first music bingo in years blended in with my first Pub Night since getting sober, which leads me to the journey of remembering how to have a social life and why it's so important for my mind and my body. 

This episode discusses 

• The crippling anxiety of getting out of the house, even when you know it's the best thing for you
• Why now more than ever boundaries need to be set with our phones, but also why that's easier said than done.
• The fact that it's perfectly normal if you're struggling with this new adjustment of socializing and going out into the world, especially if the pandemic resulted in the loss of relationships.
