Have you ever been exceptionally productive at a coffee shop on a rainy day? Join me for a conversation on why white noise in the form of rain can help us tune out distractions and focus on our goals in the moment! For the first time ever, we explore clinical notes together - beginning with seasonal affective disorder, also known as seasonal depression. This one is a big step towards openly talking about mental health and using science to explain why it truly matters. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I loved creating it :)  A Soft Murmur | Merch | Instagram   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amy-patel1/message
