Yoga With Snakes, Things I Didn’t Realize Were OCD, and Book Recommendations From a Ghost
from Drinking Tea with Monsters: a podcast about OCD, pop-culture, and ghosts
In this episode of Drinking Tea with Monsters, we dive into chaos with snake yoga, because apparently stretching is better when there are snakes involved… but is it actually relaxing? Of course, us being us, we take a few detours into the world of Australian soaps (Neighbors and Home and Away anyone?) and The OC, and the Jungle Book. It all makes sense when you listen, I promise! From there, we explore the subtle, often overlooked ways OCD can show up. The thoughts that slowly evolve so you don't realize they are OCD. What might feel like overthinking, could be something more. From repeating thoughts, feeling just right, to indecision, we talk about how to recognize the thoughts, and the recognizing the differences between regular overthinking and OCD..We wrap things up with a chilling encounter with a ghost in a library, complete with eerie vibes and unexpected book recommendations.If you love weird wellness trends, mental health discussions, and spooky stories, this episode blends humor, curiosity, and the supernatural in true Drinking Tea with Monsters fashion.I'm Obsessed...Neighbors Home and AwayThe OCThe Jungle BookBook ListAnxious People by Fredrik BackmanA man called Ove by Fredrik BackmanBeartown by Fredrik BackmanMy Friends by Fredrik BackmanA Woman is No Man by Etaf RumOCDIOCDFLooking for another cozy listen?🎧 Check out Leela's other podcast, No Dating Till You're Married, an audiobook podcast.
