    Feeling stuck: self-care strategies

    In this episode I talk about things I've been doing lately to help get me out of my highly anxious/negative spiral and get back to caring for myself. Unless some life changing thing happens, I decided to make a switch in this podcast and begin a new season of Optimistic Introvert books reviews! This episode concludes my first long season of self-help/self-care/becoming an adult- type content as I start a new journey of sharing my love for books. I hope the self-help info I've shared thus far has been helpful in some way to you all, but it's time for me to really do the work on myself more as it is important for me to come from a place of authenticity.
