In Episode 23 of the Better Weather Podcast, I dive into the power of revisiting our past selves and the vulnerability that comes with it. I begin by recounting a vivid Christmas memory from my childhood where I received a radio, sang a heartfelt song, and recorded it, only to cringe upon listening back to it later. I use this nostalgic moment to explore the discomfort we feel when facing our past selves and how it relates to broader experiences of self-reflection.
Drawing parallels between that cringe-worthy recording and other instances where I've reflected on my own actions and emotions, I emphasize the importance of embracing vulnerability. Podcasting and journaling emerge as valuable tools in this journey, providing a safe space to confront our thoughts and feelings without shame.
Shifting gears, I open up about the daunting experience of considering and taking antidepressants. I delve into the complexities of navigating mental health treatments and the challenge of accurately assessing our emotions while on medication. It's a candid discussion about the fears and uncertainties that accompany this aspect of mental health care.
Ultimately, this episode aims to encourage listeners to accept and honor their feelings, even when they are uncomfortable or difficult to articulate. By embracing vulnerability and exploring our inner landscapes through various outlets like podcasting, journaling, or therapy, we can foster a healthier relationship with ourselves and our mental health journeys.
