The last episode of season two ends with the return of Rachel DaCosta to talk about another aspect of social media - the detox. We chat through the different types of social media detoxes, how social media has transformed itself over the years, and how you can take a break from social media without feeling like you're experiencing FOMO. Since this is the last episode of Season Two and appropriately coming out during the holiday season, it seems like a topical episode to listen to before all the busyness of the season gets into overdrive. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsuchpodcast/message

The journey of self-love is not always the easiest path, but my chat with Cass Anor (hot yogi, future doctor, all around positive soul) brings the idea that there is no self-love without growing and going through your comfortzones.

This week's episode is all about having the courage to not only have your (personal) story heard, but shared with the world through different creative mediums. I chat with filmmaker Victoria Anderson-Gardiner about her experience creating her documentary, "The Hurt That Binds Us" a story about her family's intergenerational trauma due to the Indian Residential School System and how it came to be. Not only does she share the reason for creating the documentary in the first place but what it means to her and others who have experienced a form of intergenerational trauma. It's an episode about bravery in all aspects - with your family, your truth, and staring that truth in the face. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsuchpodcast/message
