TALKIN' TREATS

Today, we will decipher the pressures and thrills of creativity, and how to handle the emotions surrounding them in a healthy way. 

In this chat, we try to untangle the different ways in which social contexts can make us feel uncomfortable and anxious, why, and how to better cope with these moments.

Episode 2

In this mini-series, Tanya and Lauriane discuss the power of passion and their journey within mental balance. 

Looking back at a quote from Elisabeth Gray, Carlos and Laurie discuss the idea of seeking happiness versus embracing it when it comes. 

Even though our passion is mostly a source of joy, there might be some aspects of it that we find a little less exciting at times. In this episode, Laurie and Carlos dig into this idea and try to find solutions to cope with it better. 

In this episode, Carlos is joined by his talented mother who shares her experiences as a vocal artists as well her views on passion, happiness and how to make the best of the situations we find ourselves in.

Our families, social circles and environments can influence our practices and preferences but to what extent does it dictate our passion? 

In this episode, Carlos and Laurie explore the idea of having your passion become your main source of income: what does that entail? What are some of the risks or opportunities surrounding this choice? What can you do before turning your passion it your main job? 

After a few months of silence, we're back with a new format! Find out more about it in this episode. 

In this episode, Carlos invites Andrea, Lauriane, and Jessica to reflect back on 2021: what have we achieved? What passion do we want to work on harder? What was our favorite memory this year? 

In this genuine and light-hearted podcast, the team also opens up about their vision for TREATS in the coming years.
