This week, a very tired and very salty Shelley gets introspective about...well, saltiness. There's also a segment at the end about COVID-19, in case you are curious about a medical microbiology lab technician's opinions about this pandemic.

Keep up with the podcast on social media!

Continuing from last episode, Shelley and Chantelle reminisce about the idiosyncrasies of high school, complain about their neighbours, discuss the merits of small boobs vs big boobs, and detail their hair care routine. It's a Several Tangents episode that is basically all tangents!

Look for us on social media!

Chantelle is back! We chat about our memories growing up and how our mindset has changed as we become adults (even though we don't feel like real adults). We also get in depth about Chantelle's undying love for Antique Roadshow.

There's also another, very special guest appearing in this episode, in the form of a derpy white husky constantly whining for our attention. Her name is Mina and she loves carrots.

A short episode this week, whoops! Going with the theme of goals and resolutions, Shelley talks about some tips for getting out of productive slumps when ~inspirational blog posts and videos of bullet journals aren't enough.  We all love pretty planners and stationary, but do those things actually help?

Happy New Year!

This episode, Shelley and Dylan talk about the fallacy of New Year's Resolutions, goal setting, and why goals fail. We take a mini dive into body image, Dylan's chest hair, and Shelley's inability to cook. Ten points if you know what all the letters in the acronym "SMART Goals" stands for without Googling it!

Happy holidays!

It's the most jolly time of year but it can also be incredibly stressful and sometimes, downright depressing. In true Several Tangent fashion, we cram as many holiday (and winter) tangents into a single episode! This week, Dylan and Shelley talk about the non-magical aspects of snow, winter memories, and the less happy side of the holidays. Thank you to Dylan for sharing his very personal experience of Christmas with his family after he'd come out. 

It's nearly the end of 2019, which makes it a good time to reflect. From co-hosting to social media to the intricacies of true crime, Shelley reveals the things she learned about podcasting. And, of course, she spills some more podcast tea. 

This week, we tackle the topic of mental health and stress. Shelley's friend Chantelle joins the episode to discuss her and Shelley's experiences with stress and mental health struggles. As it turns out, keeping it all in is not a healthy coping mechanism. The reality is that there remains a huge stigma against talking about mental health, struggling in front of your peers, and accepting that you might need help.

Because of the nature of this episode, there is a content warning for discussions of mental health and mental illness as well as suicidal thoughts. Neither of us are professionals in this field and are only sharing our own experiences and what we learned. We hope that this episode is not only informative but might be of some help to those of you fighting your own mental health battles.
