Revenge Bedtime Procrastination & Sleep Hygiene

Revenge Bedtime Procrastination & Sleep Hygiene

In this week's episode I did some research on Revenge Bedtime Procrastination, what exactly it is, what can contribute to it, and how working on your sleep hygiene can help you get out of the vicious cycle. Obviously I am not an expert, and I did get all of my facts from an article titled "What Is Revenge Bedtime Procrastination?" on sleepfoundation.org. I definitely encourage you to go and read the full article and if you want to, dive in deeper and do your own research! If you do that and find some facts that I did not mention, definitely send those my way because I would love to learn more!

Ooooohhhh I had a lot to say on this topic! If you are someone who struggles with dealing with religious trauma and guilt, this is the episode for you! We're talking today about the effects that religion has on your mental health when it is shoved down your throat, and used as an excuse to push negative agendas. Please remember that you are perfect just as you are, and that whatever you are feeling is okay. Embrace who you are!

Please give the warmest welcome to Michael Bejani as he gives us some insight into toxic masculinity, what it is and why it is so important to fight it. Today's episode is probably one of my absolute favorites as we dive into the very popular topic and we say fuck you to the patriarchy, and we use education and empathy to try and change the way society thinks. As always please remember you're so loved and you're not alone!

In today's episode we're talking about how you can feel like you're failing socially, and just overall in life, when you don't have a huge friend group. Especially when people partying and traveling with all their friends is now plastered all over social media. You're not alone if you feel like that! But today's episode will hopefully help you see that "popularity" is not everything in life and good things can come from a small friend group, and even quality alone time with yourself!
As always, remember you're so loved and matter so much!

In today's episode we're talking about how a lot of times we feel that we need someone else's permission or approval to continue to pursue things in our life, because we're scared our judgement may be wrong.
