It's Not Therapy w/ Pariss Pariss Garner

I absolutely love social media. It's a place to socialize, meet new people, find inspiration, learn something new...it's also a lot of f*cking work. As someone who uses social media for work and business purposes, it can be really exhausting to keep up. Creating content may look simple and easy from the outside but, it takes a lot of effort. I just wanted to share some personal thoughts around how you can use social media to benefit you in a way that doesn't feel like a second full time job.

Everyone talks about starting a business...break generational curses, build something for your future, create your own schedule. These are all valid points but also, entrepreneurship is hard. It's heavy. It can be exhausting especially when you lack the assistance and or resources that you may want or need. The financial, mental, and emotional impact it can have on your life is very...very real. 



I wanted to share a bit about my journey into entrepreneurship and extend grace to myself and others like me...it's okay to acknowledge the pain points and respond accordingly. It's okay to take a look at what you have going on and decide to stop, start over, or maybe even keep going. Just remember...the choice is yours!

Have you been diagnosing yourself with ADHD? Do you watch ADHD Tik Tok and think "...ummm."? Are you already losing interest in this description? Of course not, because I'm doing a great job of keeping your attention :)



This episode is all about ADHD, if you haven't noticed. I have been self-diagnosing in joking matter since high school. Last month, I was able to get a diagnosis; I am 30 years old. I wanted to share some experiences and symptoms that led me to believe I had ADHD and how I went about getting diagnosed!

If you're an ADHD brained person, I'm sure you can relate to much what I discuss. And if you don't fall into either of those categories, take a listen to learn more or maybe even something new! I realized I forgot to mention a few things, and have also learned some new things since recording so, I'll share all of that in a part 2!

Welcome and welcome back! I took a two week break and it was lovely. During that time, I did some back tracking, soul searching, question asking, and journaling to help me build some structure around my work.



I'm someone who does a million things at once and it can be super overwhelming and distracting from my overall goals and process. Why am I doing this? What's the reason? In this episode, I share some thoughts and findings from my break regarding the podcast, my writing, coaching, and content creation. If you're feeling lost, off track, confused about what your next steps are...this episode is for you!

I want to encourage you to do something just because. When I started this podcast, I had no goals or intentions behind it outside of..."I want to." Creating without the pressure of earning an income, or meeting milestones is one of my favorite ways to create. 



If there is something you've been wanting or meaning to do, I say take the limits off and go for it. Maybe you try something new and out of the box, you might stumble upon a new hobby or skill!

No longer are the days that we put self care in a box. There are so many ways to take care of yourself that don't include trips to the spa, a week long vacay in the Bahamas, or filling up your online shopping cart with new clothes that you won't get to wear because pandemic.

In my opinion, self care can be anything you want it to be, as long as it brings you joy, soothes your soul, and doesn't harm anyone else in the process. On this episode, I dive into (another) list of things that I consider to be forms self care!
