Jalen's Pod Chaos Jalen

New podcast idea!! Each ep I take a guest through a different technique I tried for my mental health!!! Which didn’t fix all my problems!! 😭😭😭😭 But which I got rlly into learning about!!! Now I get to talk a guest through applying it to one of their own problems!! Live on the pod! Will it fix their problem even though it didn’t fix mine???? Listen and see!For this pilot episode we’re trying TEAM Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (different to standard CBT!) with my friend Harley on the problem of anxious-preoccupied attachment stuff! I wrote this description when still awake at 6:31am, can you tell???!!!!!!??????

I had an idea for a podcast I could do: I interview people about their personal experiences around happiness. When they’ve been happiest, what’s made their life happier or less happy, who’s the happiest person they know. I’m trying to become happier and I want to learn stuff from other people’s experience!
I haven’t decided whether to actually follow through on this podcast idea or not, but I thought if I just recorded a first episode to see how it goes then maybe that would help me decide.
My friend Tori B graciously agreed to let me interview them for this experimental episode. Here’s it is, enjoy! If you listen and want me to do more episodes, let me know (comment or reply to this email).
Stuff mentiond in ep:
* Room Rater on Twitter
* Tasshin Fogleman’s guided metta meditation
* Nick Cammarata, the guy who sometimes tweets about the dream of a safer equivalent of MDMA that we can use like coffee
