Hello all!
I have entered the world of podcasting! Welcome to my new passion project, “Outside the Box” with Nick Johnson! This project has been a long time in the making, but has come together rather quickly.
I have always gotten a lot out of processing information verbally, and began recording myself reflecting on tough times, and discovering them, in more tough times… Always finding my way back to venting, out loud, by myself. Fast forward to about two months ago when I had a breakthrough with my mental health.
I began looking more into the biology of stress and anxiety, trying to understand what my meds were doing to me, and why I needed them in the first place. This research exploration included YouTube videos, medical journals, self help podcasts, and more. Ultimately, I this led me to developing a better understanding of my body and how to quell (or at least begin to) the physical and mental symptoms I was plagued with.
The more I learn about this stuff, the more I see it everywhere. Everyone is struggling with the same things nowadays, thinking about similar issues, and sharing their thoughts and ideas on them. We’re worried about our health, money, politics, the climate… It’s daunting! While consuming all of these brilliant ideas, stories, concepts, struggle and strife but also possible solutions to our problems…I found myself making my own connections, theories, ideas, and revelations regarding myself and the world around me. If I’ve learned anything from this journey, it’s that I love to think, talk, and connect. This podcast is my attempt at reflecting that right out into the void. In these trying times we need to talk about what’s important to us, as we are all yearning for a little human connection.
So, if you’re up for it, come step outside the box with me, and let's reflect on it..
