In this raw and honest episode, we're discussing exposure therapy.

Facing your fears sounds terrifying - but what if we told you that's exactly why it works?

Ro shares her lived experience, whilst Jaycie asks important questions to help you on your own journey.

We hope that episode will transform how you think about fear and trauma - and show you why running from it might be the very thing holding you back.

You're stronger than you think, and sometimes the only way out is through.

Get ready to delve deep into our unpopular (or maybe not so unpopular) opinions... does money really buy happiness? Would we be happier without social media? Has cancel culture gone too far? Let's find out!

We both know that self-care can feel impossible sometimes... but here's the thing - caring for ourselves shouldn't feel like another source of stress.

Self-care has been twisted into this exhausting checklist: drink more water, exercise daily, follow a 12-step skincare routine, meditate, the list goes on...

On some days, basic self-care like taking a shower feels like climbing a mountain. And that's okay.

Self-care looks different for everyone. The most important thing is learning to listen to yourself. What helps you recharge? What brings you peace or joy?

Your self-care journey is yours alone. There's no checklist to complete, no right or wrong way to do it. The only thing that matters is whether it genuinely helps you feel better, more whole, more like yourself. Let's talk about it!

‘Glowing up' is everywhere on social media, promising that if we just ‘try hard enough’ and change every part of ourselves, then we can be worthy of love and acceptance. False.

In this episode, we challenge the toxic pressure to constantly improve our appearance and discuss why society’s idea of ‘beauty’ is flawed.

Through sharing our personal experiences, we examine why the relentless push for ‘self improvement' can damage our mental health and self-worth. Plus, we dive into how companies are actually capitalising on our insecurities, while selling us solutions to problems they helped create in the first place.

Glowing up is a scam, and this episode will leave you accepting yourself as you are, right now, because every version of you is enough. 

In this episode, we explore everything that 2024 taught us... letting go of what no longer serves us, closing a chapter, discovering what we want to bring into the new year and our goals for 2025.

We dive into why January 1st doesn't need to be a dramatic transformation, and how every single day offers a fresh opportunity to start again.

Remember that growth is a continuous journey, not a destination tied to a calendar date.

Get to know your hosts, Ro Mitchell and Jaycie Fry, as they open up about their own messy lives... telling open and honest personal stories and experiences before giving big sister advice to The Comfort Zone listeners.

From navigating life's ups and downs, to sharing important ED recovery advice, this episode aims to leave you feeling like you're not alone, and can do anything you put your mind to.
