Description

A podcast that gets to the bottom of social anxiety (why it holds us back, how it does so, and what we can do about it) so that you get to the top where you believe you’re worth knowing. 

The truth is that social anxiety can permeate all areas of your life to the point where you no longer know where “you” begin and where your “social anxiety” ends. 

Here are some of the topics I'm going to cover in this podcast:

- Cognitive distortions & how they affect your social anxiety
- Triggers and safety behaviors
- The different types of social anxiety
- Myths we're holding on to

As much as possible, I combine first-hand experience and my own journey with social anxiety with evidence-based studies and research. 

My hope with this podcast is that you’re empowered to show up comfortably and confidently as you, whatever that looks like, at any moment.

I made my way by train to another city to meet my best friend for a movie date, but on the way there I encountered an unpleasant situation. One that I usually do my best to keep silent on (because of social anxiety). This time I decided to speak up for myself and those around me. I hope this inspires you to do the same if you run into something or someone like this.
