We're still occasionally spiraling about social media, so yet again this year we made an annual social media episode. In it we discuss an our individual relationship to it, how we use it for work, for connection, for comparing and disappearing, and how we're managing our anxiety that comes up around it. We talk about both using it as a consumer and from the creating, contributing, and sharing perspective so regardless of how you use it we hope this conversation makes you feel less alone, or is interesting, or entertaining. Would love to how social media impacts your anxiety.

This week we do our annual year in review, unpacking our themes, spirals, high, higher, and highest of the year. We talked about areas we think we learned from, how we change, stayed the same, and what we're proud of each other for in 2022. Happy New Year!

This week our annual holiday episode. The holidays are often a time for heightened emotions, obligations, perhaps travel, hosting, gifting, nostalgia, and general busyness--making them a season for anxiety to run high. So every year we talk about our anxiety around the holiday season and the management tools, tips, and ideas that have helped us and hope will help us this year. Plus our contrasting opinions of the holidays, what we're looking forward to this year and more. Happy Holidays!! Love, Katie and Serena

This week we talked about being okay with changing our opinions and our goals. Living with uncertainty (things can change at any moment). Breakups/Friendships, not trying to hold on to the past, nostalgia. Prioritizing relationships that feel mutual and good, being warm over trying to be cool. Sticking to plans rather than rescheduling as an anxiety management tool and much more.

Part two of our conversation about navigating different timelines and expectations both from ourselves and from society. We continue the conversation about how comparing we're at to others is a recipe for spiraling and what we do that helps. This time we focus on how we thought it would be vs how it actually and get into the physical realities of timelines including: Aging: our Bodies, our parents, and our careers.

This week we talked about navigating different timelines and expectations both from ourselves and from society. We spoke about how being in our 30s means considering having kids, marriage, career choices, money woes and how comparing we're at to others is a recipe for spiraling and what we do that helps.

This week we revisit how we talk about our anxiety with others. A topic we covered 3 years ago in season one, we update on how discussions have changed with friends/family/significant others. (i.e. Serena doesn’t talk to Logan about her anxiety much anymore.) Feeling (un)comfortable communicating about mental health. And how outside of therapy and this show neither of us talk much about our mental health in our daily lives, although in the past we have.

In this episode, Serena and Katie talk about our individual and the collective shifts in perception around mental health. From the perception of therapy, talking about mental health, and how this has changed collectively even since we began this show.

In this episode, Serena and Katie reintroduce themselves for season 4 (!!!) of Spiraling by asking each other fun questions including an update on favorite drinks, latest anxiety coping mechanisms, favorite desserts, pump up songs, book recs, and more.

In this final episode of season 3, review the wild year of 2021 . We covered work, relationships, mental health and more as we went through our highs and spirals of year. The big theme of it all, we noticed was not getting too attached to anything because change is inevitable, so therefore our matra became... hold it loosely! Thank you for being with us for another season, talk to you next year!
