  • Coping Mechanisms
    Jun 19 2023

    EPISODE 99!

    Join hosts Michala and Michael as they celebrate a major milestone on their podcast, Okay, Hear Me Out - the release of their 99th episode! In this special episode, aptly titled "Coping Mechanisms" the dynamic duo takes a heartfelt dive into the world of coping mechanisms, sharing both their positive and negative experiences.

    Over the course of their podcasting journey, Michala and Michael have explored various thought-provoking topics, but not as personal and introspective as coping mechanisms. They candidly discuss the different ways they've dealt with life's challenges, the techniques they've employed to navigate through difficult times, and the valuable lessons they've learned along the way.

    The hosts open up about their positive coping mechanisms, such as practicing mindfulness, engaging in creative outlets, and seeking support from loved ones. They reflect on the transformative power of these strategies and how they have helped them maintain a sense of balance and resilience in the face of adversity.

    However, Michala and Michael also acknowledge that coping mechanisms aren't always a silver bullet. They bravely delve into their own experiences with negative coping mechanisms, sharing stories of times when they turned to unhealthy habits or struggled to find effective ways to cope. They emphasize the importance of self-awareness and growth, highlighting their lessons from these less-than-ideal coping strategies.

    Tune in to Episode 100 of Okay, Hear Me Out NEXT WEEK!
