Hello, good morning and welcome back or welcome to Morning Ray. We are literally

recording this live from my couch Sunday morning. I'm slightly hungover, but luckily,

today's sponsor of the podcast is Liquid Ivy. I'll get into it, but you guys know. I love my liquid

IV. I have it all right here. I actually have finally gotten to try the sugar-free flavor,

the raspberry lemonade. It is so good, but I also have golden cherry next to me. And these are

literally my tried and true, especially if I'm a little hungover, but also mostly just when I'm

return whichever one that I don't end up wearing. But anyways, today's episode. Today's episode is

something I feel like I've had to like reel in a bit more on lately personally. And if you have

ever really felt like your mind was working against you,

this episode is truly for you. If you've ever felt stuck in your head, overwhelmed with the

spirals of what ifs, or caught in the grip of a really loud and anxious mind, this episode is for you. And if you know a friend that or anyone who

maybe struggles with this, this is something they're always navigating, then I would recommend
