That Foreign Feeling

Life is unpredictable, it’s bitter sweet, and through the ups and downs we sometimes forget the gift of laughter. So join some of our hosts of That Foreign Feeling today as we chat about mental illness and comedy. One snippet in an article we reference from verywellmind.com in this episode says, “Being able to laugh at stuff can also relieve stress by changing your perspective. When you view situations as threats, stress levels increase. Shifting to a mindset that allows you to see these situations as challenges can transform this into what is known as eustress, a "good stress" that helps you feel more empowered and resilient.” So tune in for a light hearted chat, laughter included, and make sure to comment or email us at thatforeignfeeling@gmail.com with feedback! Wee’d love to hear from you!For full show notes and links head to https://thebutterflypath.org/pages/the-podcast , find ’That Foreign Feeling’ on Spotify, Apple, or head to thatforeignfeeling.buzzsprout.com for more listening options.A big thank you to our sponsor who is offering YOU 10% off your first month at BetterHelp by going to betterhelp.com/thatforeignfeeling #sponsoredSupport the show

Welcome back to That Foreign Feeling Season 2! On this episode we chat about a topic that we know will hit home with our listeners, mental health and accessibility. One of our main goals is to help provide resources that help make mental health more accessible. Join Anna, Niccy, and Steph as we talk about issues that we feel play a part in resources not being as accessible as we wish they could be. We cover topics such as insurance problems, lack of providers and wait times, lack of awareness, and our thoughts on what can be done. If you have any thoughts, knowledge, tips, or even questions on these topics, make sure to reach out to us, we’d love to hear from you!
