E2. S16. The One Where an Awesome Introvert Brings Together 12 Other Awesome Introverts

A warm welcome back to Roxana! Roxana (@honestrox and @growintrovert) has organized a truly special online summit to introverts. It's totally free and super high-value. And I had the honour of being asked to speak on how to lead a community when you have social anxiety. In today's episode, we talk about all the summit and what's it been like for Roxana to organize it behind-the-scenes as an introvert with social anxiety herself.  SUMMIT DETAILS: The summit runs from July 4th-9th, and I will be there to talk about how to lead a community when you have social anxiety, because having social anxiety doesn't mean we can't or don't want to be leaders! The sessions are pre-recorded, so you don’t need to wake up at 3:00 AM to watch (hurray!).  I’ll be joined by other amazing introverted leaders who are making an impact in their space, and I would love for you to hear all the insightful conversations that are going to take place. And it's totally free with the option to purchase lifetime access to replays! CLICK HERE TO REGISTER!* :) All you have to do is register here https://sadiehall--honestrox.thrivecart.com/sadie-hall-online-summit-discount/ and that’s it! *this is an affiliate link, which means that if you upgrade to lifetime access to the summit, I'll get a small commission at no extra cost to you. thank you so much!

S2. E12. Social anxiety and intimacy with clinical psychologist Dr. Tynessa Franks

In today's episode, I talk to clinical psychologist Dr. Tynessa Franks about dating, weddings, marriage, and sex while socially anxious. We discuss these questions: Dating: What can we do if we want to date but social anxiety is holding us back? Wedding: What should we do if we’re terrified at the thought of our own wedding? Let’s say one partner wants a traditional wedding but the socially anxious partner is terrified by that idea. Marriage: How can social anxiety impact a healthy marriage? Sex: What are some ways sexual intimacy can be impacted by social anxiety, and what can we do about it? About Dr. Franks: Tynessa Franks is a clinical psychologist and self-defined "shy girl". She realized a strong passion for helping people who struggle with worrying too much about what other people think and started Bashful & Bright in 2019 with this mission at the forefront. She creates videos, conducts group psychotherapy, and teaches a comprehensive online course to help women and men improve their social anxiety so they can start showing up, speaking up, and engaging in social interactions in a way that feels good. You can catch her weekly tips for improving your social anxiety @DrTynessaFranks on YouTube and learn more about her work at bashfulandbright.com.

#41. It's Okay To Take a Break (is this the end of season 1?)

#41. It's Okay To Take a Break (is this the end of season 1?)

I'll be taking a step back from my online activities for a few weeks. ⁠

We're moving next week, but that's only part of it. ⁠

It's time for me to face one of the biggest fears I've had for a couple of years now: ⁠

Sitting with my own thoughts. Alone. ⁠

I've been pushing myself to take big messy action in how I show up online, and I've done that, and it's been transformative. It's good advice and I'm grateful it was given to me. ⁠

They say it's easier to steer a ship that's already in motion, and so I've been afraid to allow any stop, any inertia. I've been afraid that if I stop doing scary things online, I'll never start again. ⁠

But I know that I need to pause. Reassess. Make sure the ship is going in the right direction, at least broadly speaking. ⁠

I'm an overthinker. There's no sense denying it. But I've been trying to force myself too far in the other direction. I've been forcing myself to underthink. ⁠

So it's time for a pause, with the exception of my Social Anxiety Besties Club on Patreon. We'll still be doing our weekly livestreams and Zoom chats. ⁠

I'm planning to come back to regular posting, Stories, and podcast episodes in time for my next Live with @honestrox on October 20. ⁠

Thank you so much for reading and for being here. I appreciate you. ⁠

Please know that I'll be reflecting deeply on how I can best help others who struggle with social anxiety and shyness. I believe that will always be my core mission -- I just need to take some time to figure out what that will actually look like going forward. ⁠

Warmly,⁠

Sadie

#31. Acting While Socially Anxious with Barry O'Neil

#31. Acting While Socially Anxious with Barry O'Neil

Have you ever wondered if someone with social anxiety could get into acting, screenwriting, or other performing arts? I know I used to wonder. I used to wish I could be an actor "if only" I weren't so scared. If that sounds relatable to you, I think you'll really enjoy my conversation with actor and screenwriter Barry O'Neil, who wrote and stars in SING ALONG IF YOU KNOW THE WORDS, a short film dealing with social anxiety that recently premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival.
This episode was originally an Instagram Live interview I did with Barry. Check out the video version here!

Follow @singalongfilm on Instagram for behind-the-scenes photos and updates on the fim!⁣

You'll hear me ask Barry these questions: ⁣
1. Can you tell us what inspired you to write this film?⁣
2. Why did you choose the metaphor of feeling like everyone around you knows the words to a song and you don’t? ⁣
3. Can you tell us what it's like to be a performer/actor with social anxiety?⁣
4. Are there any other ways social anxiety has impacted your creativity?⁣⁣
5. What takeaways do you hope viewers will get from the film?⁣
6. Do you have any tips for anyone out there who is interested in screenwriting, acting, or other creative pursuits but who feels like they are too shy, introverted, or socially anxious?⁣
⁣7. What's the best way for us to watch the film and support your work?⁣

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦⁣
The story follows Ben, who throws a dinner party to conquer his fear of speaking in groups. ⁣

As the party gets away from him, Ben grows increasingly frustrated and suddenly finds himself at the center of a real-life musical theatre number in his dining room, only he's the only one who doesn't know the words or music. ⁣

After escaping to the bathroom for a panicked call with his therapist, Ben finally musters the courage to try singing along with his guests, even if the outcome is disastrous.⁣

This episode was originally an Instagram Live interview I did with Lucy. Check out the video version here!
***Update after recording: Lucy just launched a BRAND NEW STAND UP TO ANXIETY DAILY JOURNAL! https://lucyjsmith.com/journal/***
Tune into to hear Lucy answer these questions...
1. Can you tell us what your anxiety management mentorship looks like?

2. Early in your book, you wrote about how scary it was to reach out to a doctor for help with your mental health when you didn't know what you were dealing with. Can you talk to us about that?

3. In your book, you talk about driving anxiety, and how you had a near-accident during one of your practice sessions. But you kept practicing. Can you talk to us about that incident, and how you managed to push through?

4. A big part of your book is about developing healthy morning and evening routines. What do your routines look like these days?

5. Can you talk to us about your anxiety toolkit? Does it go beyond morning and evening routines?

6. What advice would you give to someone who wants to build their own anxiety toolkit?

Thank you so, so much Lucy @lucyjsmith_26 for this heartwarming and encouraging conversation!
