Send us a textIn this Let’s Get Naked mini-episode, Anne explores the power of human connection through the “8-minute life hack.” In a world overflowing with digital interactions yet plagued by loneliness, Anne challenges listeners to embrace a simple practice: sending or responding to the text, “Do you have eight minutes?” This small but powerful signal creates space for real presence, truth, and support without the pressure of long explanations or emotional essays. Anne and Casey discuss how this tool can break the cycle of silent suffering, normalize asking for help, and remind us that connection is medicine. Sometimes, just eight minutes of being seen and heard can change—or even save—a life.This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity. So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
