    My Anxiety with Instagram

    My Anxiety with Instagram

    I've been struggling a lot with my self confidence in podcasting lately so this episode was released the way it was to prove to myself that I can let go. I recorded this episode almost four months prior to releasing it and is a reminder to myself of how much I've grown. In this episode I talk about all the reasons why Instagram gives me anxiety and why I took a break from it.

    Minisode - Tarot and a Show: Ramy

    Pulling this episode from the archives of last year. I do another Tarot and a Show episode on Hulu's Ramy. Ramy has a lot of similarities to what I experienced in the Mormon Church and I feel it is very relatable. I try not to give any "spoilers" but do talk about some of the episodes.

Goes to Sometimes in Shambles. I made it through the beginning of ALL the episodes. So real, so not shocking and most of all I was not triggered even one time. Please listen to ALL of ALL the episodes.
