  • In this episode, I talk about spending time alone and being alone with your own thoughts, as well as the roles that self-care plays in this. I also stress the importance of making yourself a priority in your own life and cultivating healthy boundaries. I end this episode by talking about a very interesting paper by Coplan, R. J. et al. titled “Seeking more solitude: Conceptualization, assessment, and implications of aloneliness”.

  • In this first episode, I dive into TikTok trends and their effect on mental health, focusing on Lucky Girl Syndrome, a trend that has taken TikTok by storm in the past couple of months. I explain how trends like these can negatively affect our mental health and motivation to pursue happiness and become the best versions of ourselves, and talk about psychologically proven ways to improve your life without toxic positivity.
