About this episode

Paul receives emotional support from Brianne Davis as they discuss mental health challenges and self-compassion.

Paul’s trusted support group friend Brianne Davis comes to lend him emotional support around his current mental/emotional struggles and to talk about her own experience with the challenge of mean self-talk and working towards having nonjudgemental self-compassion. A great conversation for anyone who is curious about how vulnerability, honesty and sitting with agonizing feelings can be discussed between trusted friends in support groups, especially when one of them is struggling.  More about Brianne Davis: Brianne is a relationship and trauma coach, author, speaker, podcast host, wife, mom—and unapologetic truth-teller.  Instagram: @thebriannedavis Twitter: @thebriannedavis TikTok: @the.briannedavis Website: briannedaviscoach.com Novels: secretlifepodcast.com Podcast: secretlifenovel.com Becoming My Own F-ing Soulmate: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736106554 This episode is sponsored Quince . Go to www.Quince.com/mental for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.
