          • POWERFUL LESSONS I LEARNED AT 26
            Dearest friends,
            I'm back on the podcast game after some time off to focus on other projects (coming soon). In this episode, I go over the hardest but most important lessons I learned in the last year. Some of these topics may be triggering, as I discuss anxiety, depression, burnout, addiction and trauma.
            Hopefully this provides some comfort to anyone going through tough transitions, challenges, or transformations of Self.
            With love, 
            Steph T

                Also, a quick note on the SSRI piece-- these truly do help a good amount of people in a way that we don't yet understand, so please don't listen to this and change anything without discussing it with a professional first. They helped me sleep and rid my insomnia, so I'm not demonizing them especially if they work for you :)
