Welcome to The Couch Coven Podcast! Hosts Laura & Teddy get cozy and speak on mental health, spirituality and how the two connect. Laura and Teddy created The Couch Coven as a passion project born from years of on-going introspective conversations. Molded by difficult upbringings and the conscious choice to change. After years of focused therapy, they dive into what lies beneath the hardened exterior of humanity. Revealing the truth of our inherent love, divinity, and psychological conditioning. Grab your tea, tarot, and trauma and snuggle up while we uncover everything in between. CW: Contains talks of eating, food and relationships with food. In this episode we examine the relationship between anxiety, intuition and neurodivergency. Along the way each of us gives personal examples of how we’ve learned to tap into our intuition. We are also discussing the physical ways we overcame mental distress while adopting healthy habits of self-love. Sources: Bao, W., Wang, Y., Yu, T., Zhou, J., & Luo, J. (2022).
