Hello friends!
 
After a little mid-year break, we are feeling refreshed and ready to be back  in your ears today for a chat around all things vulnerability.

In this ep we look at vulnerability from an adaptive and attachment lens to delve into what exactly what vulnerability is,  how and where we learn about vulnerability,  why it can be so difficult for some to be vulnerable and strategies to help to feel more safe to open up to those around us.

Hello friends!
 
We are back in your ears today for a very important chat around toxic positivity. 

Positivity is a good thing right? 
Absolutely, however can it be too much of a good thing? 

Today we chat about the toxic positivity trap, whereby expressing overly positivity thoughts actually minimises emotions, leading to (ironically) lower moods, suppression and unhealthy coping strategies. 

We answer all your questions + some in this episode. 

We hope you enjoy!
