DMC with a Friend

If you are given a chance to go back and relive your teenage years, is there anything you would change? In this episode, we go back in time and visit our high school selves. We take turns sitting down and writing heartfelt letters to ourselves in the past — reflecting on what we have experienced and learned in the last decade. We take a trip down memory lane of our deepest troubles in high school and dig deep to connect the events and choices that have shaped us into who we are today. This episode is filled with funny moments on regrettable clothing choices and makeup trial and error, but also vulnerable emotions of being afraid of indifference and doubts of not knowing how to break out of our shell. Through reading these letters out loud, we find a therapeutic and enlightening experience that we can't wait to share with you! We invite you to join us as we discuss how we have changed, if we have any regrets, and advice for anyone who is going through similar struggles today.

Our Confusing 20's -- a wild, loopy roller coaster filled with endless emotions, questions, and challenges. On Episode 7, we reflect back to our early twenties and discuss what roots us down. We explore topics on the importance of setting life habits and routines earlier on, self-control strategies, difficulties of letting people go, and what being an “adult” means to us. As discussed throughout our past episodes, our 20's is a hot mess; with our oversensitive brains over analyzing and life constantly shifting, we strive for something unique of our own. We hope that this episode will help bring comfort and community. If you want to reach out to anyone, we are here for you and willing to hear you out!

Inspired by Mandy Len Catron's Modern Love essay “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This” and Arthur Aron's theories on intimacy, we explore three sets of questions that blooms intimacy through mutual vulnerability and honesty. In this episode, we invite you to a shared moment of full vulnerability between two close friends, as we explore topics on parental influence, death, accomplishments in life, and many more! We understand that allowing oneself to be vulnerable with another person can be exceedingly difficult. We hope that our shared moment will promote comfort and understanding on how this process can be liberating and empowering, for not only the relationship, but also yourself. ______________________ Find us at: Anchor.fm: https://anchor.fm/dmc-with-a-friend Instagram: www.instagram.com/dmcwithafriend/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dmc-with-a-friend/id1549482629 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3duoPwbslegHBJ14EVeTQw

Hello Friends! Welcome to our second episode on DMC with a Friend! In hopes of lessening stress and tackling mental health problems, our generation continues the trend of smothering ourselves with self-care products each day. In today's episode, we dive deep into the difference between self-care and self-improvement, the importance of introspective awareness, and multiple solutions illustrated through personal stories. We introduce the Transtheoretical Model of Change, an adaptable, realistic, ongoing process of change to help guide the process towards positive development. We encourage our friends to embark on this journey of self-improvement, through social interactions, mindfulness practices, and professional therapeutic help. ———— Find us at: Anchor.fm: https://anchor.fm/dmc-with-a-friend Instagram: www.instagram.com/dmcwithafriend/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dmc-with-a-friend/id1549482629 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3duoPwbslegHBJ14EVeTQw
