When the World's Eyes Feel Too Big
What do we do when the world's eyes feel a little too big? We start out this episode with a light, fun story told by Selah's grandma. Usually these elder intro stories will be related to the topic, but you try asking old people about the fear of being perceived! After the story, Selah and Luke get right into it by sharing their personal experiences with this fear of being perceived, and discussing why they think it's not really something that is being talked about/ studied. They delve into the different situations and pressures that lead many young people to developing this fear. Luke finishes the convo off with some stellar advice on how to deal with this fear and help others going through the same thing. To end the episode, Luke and Selah share some songs that relate to the topic.
