50: Wigged Out with Anxiety: Dealing with Burn Out, Insomnia and Mental Health

In honor of Halloween this weekend, Syd and Soph wear matching wigs! Quite the site lol (check out their YouTube channel and subscribe if you haven't yet)! The duo chat about their old Halloween costumes, questioning whether to choose a sexy costume or funny one, & ponder whether sexy Halloween costumes are objectifying or empowering. Either way, the two agree to wear whatever makes you happy, and be safe this Hallo-Weekend! In honor of this week's episode discussing mental health, anxiety, OCD, and insomnia - both Syd and Soph share their Straight Candid moments which involve stomach issues, no sleep, and a relationship status update. We learn that "Mental clarity starts with a poo." LOL. Diving into this week's topic head first, Syd and Soph have been challenged by their mental health recently, allowing themselves to be vulnerable about what bugs them and keeps them up. The two experience anxiety in different ways, and provide a variety of perspectives from personal experience to tips from a licensed mental health professional. Syd and Soph know that they are not the only two struggling to handle their mental health and want you all to know that you are not alone - one of the girls most vulnerable episode yet. On a lighter note, stay tuned for a debate about the"one cheek sneak" and simple ways to approach waking up with anxiety. We love you and cannot wait to continue having vulnerable conversations into season 2. TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault is discussed around 32 minutes in. Learn more about your ad choices.
