295 SelfWork: Lying, Suicide Notes, and Medication Fears: Opening My Emailbag

Published: Aug. 5, 2022, 5 a.m.

I\u2019m thrilled today to introduce you to a new sponsor of SelfWork! Not only have I used this product for over three years, \xa0but it suddenly dawned on me that I should talk to them about a collaboration! And voil\xe1\u2026 here it is. Let me introduce you to Ozark Mountain Medicine\u2019s fantastic CBD products!

We\u2019re delving into my SelfWork emailbag again this week \u2013 and the questions you\u2019ve brought me will resonate with many of you. I love hearing from all of you \u2013 because it gives me a chance to give back to those of you who are listeners in a very specific way. What are those topics? The relationship between self-esteem and lying, what to do with things that are left behind by someone who died (and this listener\u2019s father had died by suicide \u2013 so trigger warning here), and last, is there a danger if you take medication for depression that it will numb you to your feelings?

Our second sponsor today is Athletic Greens \u2013 another product I use daily - and we\u2019ll hear from them later in the broadcast!.

Its message is specifically for those with a struggle with strong perfectionism which acts to mask underlying emotional pain. But the many self-help techniques described can be used by everyone who chooses to begin to address emotions long hidden away that are clouding and sabotaging your current life. And it\u2019s available in paperback, eBook or as an audiobook!
