anxiety? we all know her. join us today as we discuss trends, 2016 music, the groundhog lying about spring time, and having anxiety. i mean how could we not? with mass consumption, information overload, survival, and the very rational concerns and fears the world imposes on us - we got a LOT to be anxi about. but maybe anxiety isn’t as bad when you’re listening to chance the rapper. 🗣️ FOLLOW your host on Instagram: @lexblackb — wellness coaching with lexi: www.healingandholisticlifecoaching.com — SOCIETY IS SUS MERCH CAMPAIGN: https://www.bonfire.com/store/society-is-sus/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=store_page_share&utm_campaign=society-is-sus&utm_content=default — all my links: https://linktr.ee/healingandholisticwellness
join us today as we rant about life. (what’s new). exploring how it’s easy to get mad at how we are forced to exist. are we depressed? or are we just exhausted from having to work long hours and be overcharged for rent? are we depressed or do we just have ONLY 2 days of the week to rest, adventure, AND discover our passions? 🗣️ FOLLOW your host on Instagram: @lexblackb — wellness coaching with lexi: www.healingandholisticlifecoaching.com — SOCIETY IS SUS MERCH CAMPAIGN: https://www.bonfire.com/store/society-is-sus/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=store_page_share&utm_campaign=society-is-sus&utm_content=default — all my links: https://linktr.ee/healingandholisticwellness
join us today as we discuss energy takers! there are so many habits, addictions, people, traits, external factors that may not serve us - leaving us feeling drained. we can call these energy takers, devil energy, or just sh*t that doesn’t make us feel good. how often do we identify these and make an active effort to remove as many of them as we can? some may be out of our control, but in society we have to focus on what we can do to feel our best. 🗣️ FOLLOW your host on Instagram: @lexblackb — wellness coaching with lexi: www.healingandholisticlifecoaching.com — SOCIETY IS SUS MERCH CAMPAIGN: https://www.bonfire.com/store/society-is-sus/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=store_page_share&utm_campaign=society-is-sus&utm_content=default — all my links: https://linktr.ee/healingandholisticwellness
join us today as we chat about how our culture is obsessed with improving all the time! do you find that you’re always trying to evolve and change? always trying to “fix” yourself and your weaknesses? While I think self growth can be awesome, empowering, and sometimes necessary - how often do we actually just meet ourselves where we are at? how often do we sit in our emotions? even the negative ones. It’s important to accept these ebbs and flows and accept who we are, not always trying mold into something better. theres a time and place to go on a journey to “heal” but with that healing, it requires self acceptance. 🗣️ FOLLOW your host on Instagram: @lexblackb — wellness coaching with lexi: www.healingandholisticlifecoaching.com — SOCIETY IS SUS MERCH CAMPAIGN: https://www.bonfire.com/store/society-is-sus/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=store_page_share&utm_campaign=society-is-sus&utm_content=default — all my links: https://linktr.ee/healingandholisticwellness
join us today as we talk about getting sick and all of the complex experiences that come along with it in our silly little society. studies show that “nearly 65% of all workers experience stress, anxiety, guilt, or fear when requesting sick time from their jobs”. additionally, there is a societal pressure to always be functioning and productive. sometimes in life it seems we have to chose between our well-being and making ends meet. 🗣️ FOLLOW your host on Instagram: @lexblackb — wellness coaching with lexi: www.healingandholisticlifecoaching.com — SOCIETY IS SUS MERCH CAMPAIGN: https://www.bonfire.com/store/society-is-sus/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=store_page_share&utm_campaign=society-is-sus&utm_content=default — all my links: https://linktr.ee/healingandholisticwellness

what if cauliflower doesn’t wanna be rice? have we ever asked? join lexi today as we take a deeper dive into the world of body image issues. in society, we are made to constantly judge and be aware of our bodies, when in reality, it is such a small part of us. our inner critic often wants to keep up with unrealistic societal standards - limiting us from actually listening to and understanding our bodies. so put the protein bar down and get the ice cream you ACTUALLY want and let’s dive in. follow your host on instagram: @lexblackb
Join Lexi today as we discuss the concept of creating more and consuming less. In our society we have a plethora of content at our fingertips. One click and we can consume truly any media we’d like to. Try to channel the inspiration to put YOUR energy out into the world instead of always taking in those of others. So consume this episode first (LOL) then get off your phone and do that thing you’ve been wanting to do! Follow your host on Instagram: @lexblackb

Hi team! (I need a fan base name for my…society sweeties?) Hm that could work? No absolutely not. Anyways Join Lexi today as we discuss how instant sources of dopamine come to us so regularly whether that be social media, 7 second videos, caffeine, alcohol, porn; but we’re often lacking actually firing off those long term happy chemicals in our brain. Connect with yourself more, have a genuine laugh, be naturally energized. Because while society is exhausting besties, we always have some of the answers within.

Mental health on social media is now (luckily) bigger than ever. While it’s great to have tips, meditation encouragement, journal prompts, and self-help books so widely broadcasted; we can focus on “healing” ourselves…..a little too much. Join Lexi as we discuss how sometimes we just have to set the self help book down and have a little bit of fun. If you put all of your focus into improving yourself, when do you have time to live and experience? Follow your host on Instagram: @lexblackb

it’s easy to feel as if we are in competition with one another 24/7 — society is always pushing for more, pinning us against the other, & glorifying well…being “better” than others? Join us today as we chat how a winning mentality can influence our mental health and true “winning” comes from within and existing as the best you you can be. Energy is contagious, so why not celebrate all of our very unique and subjective wins? follow your host on Instagram: @lexblackb
The drama! Join us as we chat about black & white thinking and how life can often present with big choices and thoughts that fall on a spectrum (as everything does). Being pulled in drastic directions is simply part of the human experience. So here’s to finding a happy medium, balance, and honoring all of the thoughts & feelings we have.

Feelings can be overwhelming. Join Lexi after a tough week of intense emotions and feeling very bummed to chat about accepting feeling disappointed. In a world that is constantly turning and stops for no one, it can be easy to want to push ourselves to get over something; to push our feelings in a closet without truly feeling them. While the truth is, life can be unfair, we are going to feel such a wide array of feelings, we are allowed to say wtf is going on! Feelings are one of the only universal occurrences, so lets feel them & grow!! Society may be sus, but our intense emotions are a collective experience we need to embrace.

Seriously does anyone know?! Who are we in debt to? Where does it GO?! Today we chat about how to not take ourselves so seriously when we think of all of our life stressors such as credit scores, money, or our social status. Sadly, a lot of us in society are set up to work long hours to provide for ourselves and honestly just afford to live. While I may not have a solution to the grand issues of wealth in our country, I want everyone to know they are not alone. Money may exist and determine a lot in our life, but at the end of the day we are a tiny speck in the universe. So take a deep breath and tell credit karma to gtfo for a minute.

After a week of less hours at work and feeling a little unmotivated, Lexi opens a discussion about how we tend to define our worth by what we have "accomplished." We are so much more as humans than our degrees, our jobs, our achievements on paper, and we should practice self love even on our low energy days. Being productive can mean so much more for ourselves than "getting things done".

Being uncomfortable is not always going to feel the best as a human existing in society. We want to feel safe, confident, and sure of something. However, this does not always mean we are happy with these decisions or they are in our best interest. When we get uncomfortable and leave our comfort zone, that is where we often see the most growth. Here we can discover more about our inner being a break away from things that have always been comfortable to us. Whether that's leaving a relationship, quitting your job, trying that new activity, meeting that new friend, or moving across the country, we need to attempt to do things that challenge us. There is often no reward without risk; join Lexi as we discuss how we need to get comfy with being uncomfy.

"Adulting" as we know it can present many challenges; working long hours, seeing the world through a new lens, taking on responsibilities we didn't have before, or having limited time to explore things we may want to try. As a child, one is encouraged to join a new club, try out for a team, and ultimately just have time to play around. When we reach a certain age, where does that innocence and play go?
Join Lexi as we discuss tapping into that inner child to embrace finding new hobbies as an adult, or exploring hobbies/activities we once loved. We are never too old to learn something new or too good to set time aside to embracing things that light our heart and soul on fire.

We have access to the world at our fingertips. Scrolling, comparing, taking selfies; all things that consume such a large chunk of our day. Join Lexi as she returns from a podcast and semi social media break to chat about alllllll the feelings surrounding this crazy thing called media. Is is a problem? Is it healthy? Are you high right now? Do you ever get nervous? (LOL IYKYK). The truth is, I doubt any of us know and that's why we are here talking about it.

Well well well what do we have here!? We are all so quick to prioritize all things society "needs" us to do, but when does this give us time for ourselves? 59% percent of Americans are currently feeling burned out in their day to day life; with work, school, or whatever your schedule consists of - little time is left to dive deep and explore what we truly want to do. It can be so easy to be filled with mental and physical exhaustion when working on the clock of societal demands. Join Lexi as she discusses her return to podcasting and finding joy in things she loves again after a rigourous episode of burn-out.

Alcohol is something that is SO normalized in our society. Bad week? Drink. Long day at work? Drink. Nice day outside? Drink. You get it. While the moderate consumption of something enjoyable and stress relieving is not the problem, the way it is pushed as a coping mechanism, the dependancy forming habits, and way it is so accessable, IS. People are in jail for marijuana, yet alcohol is celebrated. With marketing and money, alcohol may seem impossible to avoid. Join Lexi in a conversation of the potential issues this substance can create and how we can make concious choices and improve our bonds with others and coping mechanisms.

Join Lexi as we discuss removing the societal stigma behind mental illness. This should not be some taboo topic we are ashamed of admitting or simply talking about. SO many individuals struggle and it is viewed in a negative light, when in reality, it is a very common and real issue. We must stop following sterotypes or underestimating people's ability. Your mental illness is valid and very real, and does NOT make you any less of a human being. As we as a collective release the stigma, more help and resources will begin to open up, we need them easily accessable for ALL.

Acknowledge. Listen. Educate. Empathize. Understand. Use your voice. White privilege is an innate ability acquired at birth; for ALL. No one is exempt from this. As white people, injustices are not faced for simply being. While all humans have valid struggle and no one is taking that away, no white person is struggling BECAUSE they are white...and that is the sad difference. Systemic racism trickles down into society engulfing a population with negative sterotypes, unfair disadvantages, and in some cases, a fear for one's own life. Join Lexi as we discuss how this impacts society and what we all can change to slowly overturn the very real racism that occours every single day.

Alexa, play Kids by MGMT. Cute little babies, amazing right? Sure, but that does not mean all feel the same way. Having children is a lifelong commitment, and while some are ready to embrace that in stride; others may be completely turned off by the mere thought of it. AND THAT'S OKAY. Society loves to tell us how we should be living, it loves to scream the "CORRECT" lifepath in our face. Our own well being and mental health? Who cares just do as we say!!!
LETS STOP THIS THINKING. Continue questioning norms as we dive into the societal expectation that is having kids.

What's your purpose in this life? Okay don't think too hard. Lexi discusses how she has struggled with this concept for years, as society always makes us feel as if we need some grand obvious purpose to define our life. Purpose can be eating a piece of toast, walking on the beach, singing songs poorly as you drive; you get it. Purpose does not need to be some obvious part of who we are, and furthermore, it can change daily! Find joy and peace in the little things that fill you with passion.

LACE UP YER BOOTS AND GRIND IT OUT SNOWFLAKE! just kidding. Working 40 plus hours? Every single week? At a job you do not even like?! Whew, sounds exhausting. Join Lexi as we discuss the potential harm this demanding schedule can cause and how we as a society can demand BETTER. While we may be set up to fail in many areas, there are changes and expectations we as individuals can present as we attempt to find a work-life balance that brings us joy and overall life satisfaction.

You can't xoxo. Listen to a personal trainer's point of view on the fitness community. Today we chat about the societal fitness standards and how they impede on us all. We are given an image of what health looks like, when in reality health has NUMEROUS dimensions and is not always seen from an external point of view. We are constantly given a body image of what we should aim for; but the harsh truth introduces demons like self loathing, disordered eating, and unrealisic standards that we will anxiously compare oursleves to. We cannot hate our body into "skinny". We must practice acceptance with it and thank it, repairing our relationship with the one who carries us through everyday life.

Come embark on a journey down the long road of toxic beauty standards. From detox flat tummy teas to only growing up with white barbie dolls, let's break down these toxic standards and norms. Beauty may be defined by society, but it is up to us to come together and break that. Take away the power as we hope to shift to a more inclusive direction; towards not only ALL walks of life, but to the person we see when we look into the mirror. Radical acceptance for oursleves and all other humans.

This week we dive into the complex world of gender. When you do not identify with the set of expectations society has provided for your biological sex, it can create some confusion and discomfort and often, mental health struggles. Sex may be the biological sense of how we were born, but gender on the other hand is a construct society has (ONCE AGAIN) shoved upon us. Many assumptions, forced identities, and behaviors are influenced by this concept of gender, yet none of these should exist. BUT BOYS WEAR BLUE AND CAN'T WEAR DRESSES?! Patty, don't start. Join Lexi as we discuss how gender should be free range for ALL.

How are we expected to be ourselves when we may not even know what the hell that means? In society, we are constantly reminded what we SHOULD be doing and who we SHOULD be. We claim to live somewhere where being your independant self is encouraged, when truthfully, it seems nearly impossible. Our lives can seem pre-written and as we age, it can be so easy to lose your true skin with multiple layers of masks applied. SO TAKE OFF THE MASKS (ok not all masks though, pls leave the face one on right now!!) Step out of the societal mold and question what it is that fills your soul with desire and passion. What makes YOU happy. How can we live for ourselves when we lack understanding of what that is?
