    Episode 7.0: Decompress That Stress!

    Stress serves a natural biological purpose—way back when, it was our stress response that helped us survive when we stumbled upon a lion, got into a fight, or were chasing after our dinner. Stress can sometimes help us now, too—remember how fast you worked last time you started an essay an hour before it was due? However, chronic, never ending stress is becoming more and more common, with significant consequences on mental and physical health. We chat about what we can do about it in today’s episode. Remember that this isn’t a comprehensive review, and we encourage you to do more research!

    Episode 6.0: Diving Into the Physical—Discussing Body Image and Eating Disorders

    Body image is something that we all have and lots of us struggle with, whether that’s comparing ourselves to others on social media or experiencing an eating disorder.

Find Beatrice’s recovery account on Instagram @beas.recovery!

    Episode 5.0: Discussing Substance Use and Addiction

    Substance use is common, but dangerous. Not to spoil anyone’s fun, but to be honest, most of us probably have a story or two about what can happen as a consequence of substances. Listen to learn more about breaking down the stigma around substance use, the different types of substances and their effects, and what resources are out there. As always, this is a complex topic, and this episode is by no means comprehensive. We encourage you to do more research if you’re curious! By the way, we’re sorry about the audio on this one—someone may have forgotten to plug in the mic before we started rolling. Promise we’ll fix it next time, and we hope you’ll stick it out with us! *Resources* Need help? Here’s how to reach a couple of the resources we mentioned. Many more are just a Google search away! https://americanaddictioncenters.org/ https://landmarkrecovery.com/
