Hi Stephanie! I caught the Negativity Bias episode and just wanted to reaffirm that everyone feels this way from time to time. I think it was strong of you to bare your emotions. Please don’t feel bad about being “real”.
Your podcast reaches many corners of the world, and many different types of people. For example, I’m a lab technician in Oklahoma.
It helps people to hear others open up. So thanks again! Love the show.
Thank you for your kind words Ethan! Happy you’re listening 🙂
