Same, Girl!

This is our little bonus episode on navigating the stress, loneliness, and triggering moments during the holidays. Joya, Kayla, and Steph talk about how the holidays can feel antithetical to what they are supposed to be like especially when battling mental illness, how they cope, and some of their fondest memories — sprinkled with a little #HungerGames humour!

We have our first guests! Raffela Mancuso & Logan Wiltsie join Angee on this week’s episode to discuss what it’s really like living with ADHD.

Angee, Joya, and Kayla discuss the difference between positivity and toxic positivity, how it can unknowingly affect our daily lives, and how to cope with toxically positive people — from family to strangers.

Angee, Joya, Kayla & Steph talk about the toll financial stress takes on mental health, and the way it intersects with being low-income, a child of immigrant Indian parents, a mother of two kids, and the pitfalls of Canadian mental healthcare.

Kayla and Angee talk about going through the pandemic with a mental illness, and what it's like to try and return back to "normal", whatever the new normal may be.
