Facilitated by psychologist Dr. Amanda Burke, we cover everything from life struggles, relationships, dating, break ups, parenting, mental health, and overall wellness.

Episode 5
In the spirit of Mental Health Awareness Month, Dr. B sits down with a childhood friend to discuss the internal experience of anxiety and how it can impair views of ourselves,
each other, and the world. Dr. B's guest shares her own journey of anxiety and how it impacted her role as a wife, mother, daughter, friend, and professional while also leaving her feeling ashamed and inadequate; all leading up to her story of recovery. Topics include how anxiety can "sneak" up without our awareness, the anxiety/avoidance cycle, and normalizing the feelings we have while also asking for help from our Tribe. So grab a snack and beverage of choice, tune in with your pals, and listen to Psych Junkie.
