Ever feel like you don't know how to take your own advice? Like you've learned all the strategies but can't seem to actually use them? Like no matter how hard you try to get your life in order, it just seems to get more complicated?!
Well Vanessa certainly does, and (at the encouragement of her producer) she hopped on the mic and let it all out in one of her most honest and vulnerable episodes yet.
With the help of her calculator stuffie and her trademark stream of consciousness outer processing, she talks herself down from a panicked state and explores:
- what an anxiety spiral looks like and what's actually behind it
- negativity bias + confirmation bias = catastrophization!
- how therapy tools like a gratitude practice can help
- what this all has to do with math education
