The Seeing Sideways Podcast

On today's episode we rant about (mainly Kyle while Jessica listens patiently) about the rising cost of living in today's world, how we got here and what, if anything, we can do about it. 

Ever wake up and have the feeling of "I should do X today, this will help me feel better and further my life goals." And then moments later are like...."nahhhh, i'll just lay here and wallow instead." Why is that? Kyle and Jessica dive into why we are often averse to doing what is GOOD for us and instead choose in negative feelings and unproductivity. 

Change is a natural part of life, its inevitable and vital to grow and become the best version of ourselves...so why does it often feel so shitty? Kyle and Jessica delve into why we all feel such discomfort when we are growing out of our old selves and into our newer improved models.

*Editor's Note: This podcast was recorded in the winter thus the wintery banter at the beginning! Ha!

In this episode Kyle goes on an existential diatribe about how the KEY to conquering anxiety is much more straightforward than we think and how the answer has been under all of our noses all along. We then dovetail into the concept of feeling your feelings and how that can be the healthiest thing you ever do for yourself. 

The struggle is real and so is burnout. We're in the midst of a burnout epidemic where people are feeling overwhelmed and feeling like life is just too much and they need a break and a reset. Jessica and Kyle dive deep into this modern conundrum and explore why many nowadays seem to be burnt the F out. 

We continue our discussion on the annoying ass beast that is anxiety and we dive deeper into tools and coping mechanisms that we have tried and potentially recommend trying in order to turn anxiety from your enemy to your friend. 

Jessica and Kyle are joined by a special guest and longtime friend and work colleague who gives her very insightful and unique perspective on anxiety and the origins behind it. 

In our inaugural episode, we introduce who we are, why you should listen to us (should you listen to us?) and why we may have a bit more of a grounded and relatable mindsight than your typical mental health podcast. 

Yup, we're starting with a bang. Anxiety is the hot button topic du jour and the two co-hosts give their unique insights into anxiety, what it is, their journey with it and why its such a hot button item amongst today's generations.
