Well, that was awkward...

We've all been there. Flushed face, feeling hot all over, we're talking about that cringe moment. Maybe you texted the wrong person, or called someone by the wrong name, or maybe you just poured an entire drink all over yourself in a crowded restaurant and all eyes are on you.  This episode is dedicated to all those awkward, cringe-worthy, "I want to crawl into a pit and never come out" moments. We feel you. But here's the thing, we all go through embarrassing moments and we're here to say we're with you.  Join us this week as we recount a few of our many blunders and offer tips to shift out of embarrassment.  _____________________________________________________ About the Managed Mind Podcast: The Managed Mind is a podcast hosted by internet besties, Amber Benziger (licensed therapist and anxiety coach) and Nikki Hedstrom (author and wellness coach).

Friendship

From our earliest years, friends are an important part of our mental health. Friends can help fill our cup, provide us with a listening ear or just make us laugh until we nearly pee our pants. There are so many types of friends and dynamics of friendships we just had to dedicate an episode to this sweet topic. We talk about why it can be harder to make new friends later in life, what being a good friend might look like, and the grief of losing a friendship. So take a listen, and maybe share it with a friend. Because we are all about celebrating the power of friendship.   About the Managed Mind Podcast: The Managed Mind is a podcast hosted by Amber Benziger, licensed therapist and anxiety coach, and Nikki Hedstrom, author and wellness coach.
