Send us a textIn this minisode series of Savage Self-Awareness, Anne challenges listeners to take a hard look at how much time they spend numbing out in front of the TV or streaming platforms. While binging shows may feel safe and easy, it often keeps us from facing our own “cliffhangers” and living life fully. Anne offers a simple but powerful self-awareness exercise: track your TV habits for one week, total up the hours, and honestly assess what you’re giving up in exchange. With humor and straight talk (yes, even about chip crumbs in your bra), this episode invites you to reclaim wasted hours and replace them with choices that create meaning, growth, and fulfillment. 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.
