Summary

Drop in and open your heart for this warm hug of an episode as the amazing author and psychologist, Dr. Thema Bryant, walks us through the most relatable and actionable self-help practices you’ll ever come across. K + L get personal with their own experiences and lessons from therapy during this truthful, energetic, and enlightening episode.  Dr. Thema helps us unpack the impact of social media on our sense of self, explaining the nuance to how and why narcissism seems (it actually isn’t!) so apparent in the space. We also learn how the most outward and seemingly self-promotional actions can actually be manifestations of shame, fear, and guilt – and how to understand that dynamic in yourself and in others. How to live more authentically, foster more meaningful relationships, avoid the pitfalls of self-erasure, and process the endless wave of Insta therapy – you don’t want to miss it. We also talk about: Unpacking nuggets of information for what they mean to you K + L share therapy experiences  Self-erasure and how we trick ourselves into it  Reintroducing yourself – as yourself  Learning love languages Showing love during times of conflict  Is everyone a narcissist?

Hello and welcome to almost 30 podcast, everybody. Greetings, hello and welcome to the show.

We're so glad you're here. My name is Crystal Williams. This is Lindsey Simpsick and we've

been doing this for about six and a half years now. We've grown almost 30 from the ground

up. We were not in the biz before we did this and we are a small business, small team

0:29.6

of women that support you and your evolution and we're really grateful that you're here.

0:34.5

Yeah, so excited you're here. I love an episode like today. We get a little taste of therapy

0:41.7

for ourselves. I was thinking not of like, oh my god. I was so grateful. I was like, why am

I, she's amazing, but I was like, I felt so seen it hurt. I was like, I feel great. And

this is, you know, what you might be struggling with. And it's like, there's so much. And

1:38.2

it's like, how do we digest this? How do we contemplate so that we can kind of find

1:43.2

our own connection and truth to it? It's a lot. Yes. I think about like famous philosophers,

1:49.7
