A podcast that gets to the bottom of social anxiety (why it holds us back, how it does so, and what we can do about it) so that you get to the top where you believe you’re worth knowing. The truth is that social anxiety can permeate all areas of your life to the point where you no longer know where “you” begin and where your “social anxiety” ends. Here are some of the topics I'm going to cover in this podcast:- Cognitive distortions & how they affect your social anxiety- Triggers and safety behaviors- The different types of social anxiety- Myths we're holding on toAs much as possible, I combine first-hand experience and my own journey with social anxiety with evidence-based studies and research. My hope with this podcast is that you’re empowered to show up comfortably and confidently as you, whatever that looks like, at any moment.

Scared to ask a question because of social anxiety
This episode is based on a blog post I wrote a few years ago and updated to reflect the additional experience I've had with asking questions. I wrote this because I struggled significantly with asking questions for years and had to find ways to comfort myself.
I'll walk you through 4 things that will help you feel better about asking a question (in front of people) if your social anxiety is getting in the way.
You can finally ask away safely!

We'll recap the root cause of social anxiety so we understand the foundation, and then I'll let you in on why I think your social anxiety is still hanging around.

Super helpful!
Every episode is so different yet so valuable. Honestrox breaks down her social anxiety while also bringing in real-world examples and research to validate what it means to have social anxiety. I especially loved listening to her interview with Joanna, and how she broke down the steps to asking a stranger for something many of us with social anxiety would never dare to! Highly recommend this podcast.
