#15 Healthy vs. unhealthy coping mechanisms

Are you coping or are you escaping?

In this deeply honest episode, we talk about coping mechanisms: the unhealthy ones we normalized, the turning points that forced us to change and the healthier strategies we’ve learned along the way.

From alcohol and partying to sugar cravings, validation through dating, doom scrolling and distraction... we open up about the ways we used to numb, avoid and escape our emotions.

We share personal stories about heavy phases of partying, loneliness, negative thought spirals and the moment we realized that nothing actually changes if you keep running.

And we explore the difference between coping that distracts… and coping that supports.
