    4. Do I *REALLY* Need a Therapist?

    4. Do I *REALLY* Need a Therapist?

    Help me welcome to the show, one of my favorite people — and the first person on #MarketingTwitter I was brave enough to DM — Gia Cattaneo! 

    In this super-sized episode, Gia and I discuss the importance of therapy, what self care looks like during the post-election hangover, and, of course, Gilmore Girls. If you've considered signing up for therapy (especially in this shit show of a year), are thinking about returning to a beloved therapist, or have a bff that *raves* about therapy, this episode is for you. We spill the tea on the stigma around seeking therapy and help answer the question: Do I really need a therapist?

    2. Living with a Partner During Quarantine

    2. Living with a Partner During Quarantine

    Moving in together is a big step. Living in a one bedroom through all of 2020 without killing them — you're a damn champ!

    Maivien and I discuss our love for chicken nuggets, Shea McGee's new Netflix show — Dream Home Makeover, and living with our significant others during quarantine. Do me a favor and help me talk Maivien into staying in Seattle. DM me things that suck about Colorado and California on Instagram.

    1. Let's Talk Mental Health and Self Care

    1. Let's Talk Mental Health and Self Care

    I'm SO glad to give you all the VERY FIRST episode of Self Care! This episode is extra special because my guest co-host, Danielle, was my first guest host on my limited run podcast in 2016! We're coming full circle with this inaugural episode. Fun Fact: We have over 20 minutes of deleted scenes that are funny enough to make you pee yourself — so keep an eye out for the those scenes in an upcoming Cutting Room Floor episode.

    We're digging into our philosophies on self care, our favorite store ever — Target — and mental health during COVID-19. You'll also get a sneak peek into four or five future episodes we have in the works — you won't want to miss them.

    Coming Soon on Self Care

    Coming Soon on Self Care

    Testing, testing — is this thing on? OH, HI!

    Let's get real, our mental health is * s u f f e r i n g * right now. With this podcast, I hope to bring a little light to our community of millennials (and the younger at heart.) Along with my curated collection of guest co-hosts, we'll be sharing more on REAL self care, opening up about our mental health, and let's be honest, dishing out our thoughts on Real Housewives, too.

    I'm working on the first few episodes right now — coming soon — but couldn't wait to say hi. I hope you're as excited as I am.

    If you’re as excited as I am, please consider showing your support by subscribing, rating, and leaving reviews on your preferred streaming platform. These simple actions make the world of difference for a new show, like this one.

    And if you’re able and so inclined, we have a recurring monetary support feature housed on our landing page at anchor.fm/avecdavid.

Finding out what Self Care looks like has never been so fun or funny

Self Care is an amazing introspection on the modern human condition as we collectively walk through quarantine. Yes, the pandemic has driven society further apart, yet David strives (as we all do) to seek meaningful connection with likeminded individuals and talk about what brings joy, hope, light, and love to the soul. We get to come along on the adventure with him and enjoy the highs and the lows of everything from shopping for a therapist to talking about what streaming show to binge when not working from home.

While a swathe of people might allow their situation to progressively exacerbate their feelings of loneliness, Self Care is all making the best of life while you’re on the journey. You can laugh and find humor in the mundane. You can see life for it’s possibilities. You can be good to yourself as you learn about what it means to access great Self Care with David Self.
