    Who The F*** Are We?

    Beyond Comfort hosts, Michelle and Elle, know each other quite well, but in this episode, they want you to get to know them and their anxiety a little bit better. After nine weeks of Beyond Comfort, the girls reflect on their podcast journey, sharing what they’ve learned about anxiety, anticipation, and pushing past comfort zones. Highlights include a proud interview with Loud Luxury, the chaotic first episode at a comedy club, and a playful game with guest Dance McGee  called “How Well Do You Know Your Friend’s Anxiety?” Through stories of doorbell panic, public speaking fears, and social coping strategies, they show how forcing themselves to show up often turned dread into fun. Listeners are invited to connect on Instagram, try the game with friends, and tune in for the season finale and more in season two.
