We be drinkin’ and we be chattin’ about our listener mail! We are back with another minisode with YOUR thoughts and stories on a very important subject: STAYING SANE IN AN INSANE WORLD!

On our previous minisode we shared personal strategies for combating stress and talked about our favorite self-care rituals that keep us feeling good when the world around us feels bleek. This episode we flip this question to y’all!

We read an email from our favorite Ohio listener who shares some of her tried and true moves for tackling her social anxiety. Tux’s high school bestie weighs in with her experiences standing up for marginalized communities after returning home to a small town after nearly a decade spent living in a progressive Northeastern bubble. Two mental health pros Canh Tran, MSW and Kimberly Beury, LMHC LPC, offer some professional guidance on how best to alleviate stress at both micro and macro levels.

Y’all came through with such thoughtful feedback this episode! Like Tim, y’all are the real MVPs! Do hug yourselves for us in a lingering but non-creepy way, thanks loves!

We be drinkin’ and we be chattin’!

We don’t have listener mail this episode but we are announcing the topic for next month’s minisode -- the very important topic of anxiety, stress management and self care under our current administration.

A survey by the American Psychiatric Association found that anxiety more than doubled from 2017 to 2018. The good news is that we aren’t alone, we aren’t imagining it and this level of anxiety will have an end date. We just need to keep taking care of ourselves, so we can stay angry, stay connected and stay whole in the process of fighting the good fight!

We discuss our mental health struggles, past and present, exploring the changes we’ve experienced over the last couple years. We talk about what we are doing to keep ourselves feeling good despite the political chaos that surrounds us. We chat about some of our favorite self care rituals from Drag Race, lollipops, and curating social media feeds to TCM, baking, and starting a podcast! Tux chats about small but impactful ways to make a positive difference in your community like voting and volunteering.

We want to hear from YOU! We want to know how you keep sane in an insane world? We want to know how your mental health issues are manifesting, what is making you feel stressed and in what ways do you cope when these negative feelings arise?

You can send us a voice memo or email us at BeyondReproachPod@gmail.com, or feel free to slip into our DMs if you're feeling cheeky. Don’t be strangers and say hi! Just be sure to get those responses back to us no later than 3/16.

We can’t wait to hear from you!!!
