Sometimes when meeting someone for the first time it can be difficult striking up a conversation with them. What do you ask them? What do you talk about? How far do you go with your questions?

This podcast turned out to be a powerful one for us. We confronted so many demons in this episode. Toni talked about her anxiety as a teenager and how she self harmed in a way that was very different to the self harming we know about today, Lisa talked about her depression and how it took over her life for nearly 2 years, and Steph talked about her need to please people to feel worthy and how it turned her into a yes person. We've all gone through dark days, but we hope this episode helps put a little light back into those days for you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
