Paula stays up to date with trending topics, especially in mental health. When Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) gained traction on TikTok, she knew exactly who to ask—therapist and mental health advocate Chelsea Wilder. Inviting Chelsea to the Thought Snob Podcast was a natural choice, as Paula recognized the importance of educating listeners about HPD. Since attention-seeking behaviors characterize the disorder, it can often lead to misunderstandings and social challenges. Paula trusted Chelsea to break it down in a clear, accessible way, helping people replace judgment with mindfulness and compassion.

Like all Thought Snobs, Chelsea is intelligent, relatable, and passionate about mental health. Her journey into the field was driven by a deep recognition of the need for greater empathy and understanding, solidified by witnessing the profound effects of mental health crises, trauma, and substance abuse. Chelsea holds a Master of Social Work (MSW), is a Certified Social Worker (CSW), and is trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). She specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, and more, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to support healing. 

Above all, she prioritizes creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel empowered to explore their struggles and discover their inner strength. You can learn more and connect with Chelsea here: https://www.mendedcounseling.net/chelsea-wilder.

Paula was scrolling through TikTok one night when a LIVE tarot card reading caught her eye. She joined the room and, within minutes, knew what she saw was the real deal.

After a year of trying to get together, the two ladies finally united for this episode, and once again, Alysia exceeded Paula’s expectations.

Paula's January 15th episode of Thought Snob Live was about activating the vagus nerve. Since her Thought SNOB method is designed to help people heal through various modalities, a workshop-style lecture about the vagus nerve is fitting.
