After a challenging year, an episode on mental health feels both necessary and overdue. Ashleigh interviews Dr. Michael Vanderlind about anxiety management, cognitive restructuring, resilience, and more. You’ll also hear two young people, Bazzie Owe and Sania Farooq, share their experiences of navigating anxiety as college students.
Similar to parts 1 and 2 of the Mental Health Series, this episode goes back and forth between voices. We chose this structure because it allows you to hear the guests' experiences in conversation with each other. You can learn more about our guests and see special graphics on our Instagram: @thefiguringitoutpod. We'll be posting outtakes from the episode there over the next couple of weeks. We are @figuringoutpod on Twitter. Thank you so much for listening to FIO. Excited to be back!
