Description

Why are we drawn to sharing our inner worlds, and is it more urgent and more complicated when you're neurotic?

This episode explores:

• The urge to take our private journaling public
• The personality types that have an easier time keeping it real
• The benefits of spilling your guts online
• If living mindfully is incongruent with doing it “for the plot”?
• Performance anxiety - but the role is ‘acting human’
• And we leave you with three key things to consider before sharing your inner world elsewhere
