Episode 46: Improve Your Mental Health w/ these ACTIONABLE Steps from Lauren Ashley from the Let's F*****g Talk Podcast!

If you are utterly exhausted by the amount of "positivity" talk when it comes to mental health and you actually want to incorporate ACTIONABLE techniques in your life that will work, this is the episode for you.   Lauren Ashley from the Let's F*****g Talk Podcast is here today to discuss mental health from probably the most pragmatic standpoint I've ever heard. She does a fantastic job of not only debunking the typical "just be grateful" or "positivity" talk while simultaneously giving us quick techniques we can ACTUALLY use in our daily lives, all while making us laugh through the whole ride.   Lauren speaks from experience because not only has she studied these techniques but she has been in and out of therapy since she was 12 with good and bad stories to share. Let's normalize therapy and let's normalize these strategic and actionable techniques in our lives to be better humans.   Time Stamps:   (1:30) Let's Normalize Therapy (4:07) Sean's Therapy Experience (5:05) Lauren's Story (13:35) Gastroenterologist and the Vagus Nerve (18:00) Joe Rogan (21:32) Tips for Activating the Vagus Nerve and Mental Optimization  (28:15) Breathing Techniques (35:00) The Gift Behind Anxiety (38:30) It Takes What It Takes by Trevor Moawad (43:56) Making Instagram Work for You (47:15) Cool People to Follow (51:45) Book Recommendations  (54:15) Where to Find Lauren ---------------------------- Check out the Let's F*****g Talk Podcast Episode 41: When Do Boys Become Men with Sean Episode 44: The Pope Assigned COVID a Gender? with Sean ---------------------------- Follow Us on Instagram! @letsfuckingtalk @fitnessshaman @dalalovesdumbbells @dldnation ---------------------------- Ever wonder "What in the World Do I Eat to Reach my Goals?"
