Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Today we have one of my favorite columnists on the pod, Cosmos Therapist, columnist,

Meena V.

Now if you know me or if you followed me for a while you know that I love to write and create content for places like Cosmo and I'm a big subscriber to their magazine.

And Meena's column has fast become my favorite part of reading Cosmo every month

because I love her thoughtful, considered answers to

questions for people who write in with problems with their family,

problems with their friends, problems with their work,

because Mina, to me, understands the complexities of being human, that life is nuanced, and that's really

what this whole conversation is about.

Mina is an author speaker therapist and mental health educator and she also sits on

Selina Gomez's media company Wonder Mind their board and we talk about a lot

today we speak about whether you should tell you your struggling friend your good news how 80% of your thoughts are negative the other

F that's left out often when we talk about fight flight and freeze there's another

F my friends we speak about what arriving in your life actually is and how limiting black and white thinking can be.

So I'm thrilled to give you Mina. Please

DM us let us know what's your favorite takeaway from this interview. I'm

met Susie dotmoor and she's at Meena B. Meena welcome oh my what a joy to have you on a let it be easy
