Social media platforms get a bad rep for causing depression and anxiety, but what if you could use this technology is a way that's good for you? In this episode I share 4 tips to use your social media accounts to improve your mental health. Like anything, it just takes a few boundaries and a lot of awareness.

Social Media For Your Mental Health

This is a short episode about finding balance through acceptance. Balance doesn't mean feeling just the good stuff, it means understanding the importance of every moment of your life - the good and the bad. 

We Are All Falling

In this episode, I talk about slowing down. I share how I first started meditating and what meditation looks like for me today because it's always changing. Meditation has allowed me to get back in touch with my body and stop dissociating, but it can also be really scary and triggering especially for those with trauma. Be gentle and listen to your body - That's the whole point! 

Everyone's An Asshole

If you've been asking yourself questions like:  Why don't I feel happy?  Why is meditation so hard?  Or  What's the big deal with self-awareness anyway?  This is the episode for you. In this episode, I describe a super weird meditation/ panic attack I had this week. I also talk about why it's so easy to check out and why having awareness and being present really sucks, but is so worth it. 

A General Lack of Emotion

The first 5 minutes of this podcast was recorded on the go and sounds like shit (sensitive ears be warned.) When I get back to the land of technology, I talk about everyone's favorite topic and greatest weakness - boundaries. My take on boundaries is use them to make sure you leave enough space in your life for yourself. Listen in to learn how to set a boundary without causing more drama. 

An Exorbitant Amount of Energy

Welcome back to the podcast! I didn't plan very much for this episode, or not at all.  I decided to just hit record a few times throughout the day & see what happened. I talk about the daily struggle I feel between honesty and shame and about the many things I'm doing and not doing to deal with the change and uncertainty showing up in my life right now.  

To Tell The Truth

Welcome to the first episode of Allied With Madness, my new podcast about mindset, mental health and whatever else I feel like talking about. I'm here to share with you everything I've learned from over a decade of depression treatment for free. (The treatment was very much NOT free) And also because I love to talk about myself! Stay Tuned   Hearts!  Caroline

It's The First Episode

Allied With Madness is a new podcast about all things mental health, mindset, and wellness by writer and mental health advocate Caroline Swanson. I'm a normal person with normal problems, and I always felt like life was too much for me, too overwhelming. I felt a lot. I still do. Maybe you do too.
