Welcome back to another segment of "Turning the Mic On To" In this episode, Emma Jane chats with Whitney and Haley of the new, Approaching Normal Podcast. As Whit and Haley have both been diagnosed with OCD, Depression, and Anxiety in various forms, they decided to start a podcast that takes Mental Health out of the shame cloud it often sits in, and starts conversations about the specifics of what Mental Illness is like to various individuals that experience is. In our conversation, they each open up about their struggles and journeys to healing, what OCD is both generally and specific to them, and we even chat about the ways that religion and mental health stigma's can play a negative role, especially in the lives of returned missionaries. As one who struggles with mental health myself, this episode opened my eyes to the importance of really diving in and striving to understand yourself, and your mental illness. Definitely an episode worth listening to.You can find Whitney and Haley on their Instagram, @approachingnormal.pod and their podcast, streaming soon.Link to Whitney's article with LDS Living: https://www.ldsliving.com/ocd-god-and-me-one-womans-experience-with-scrupulosity/s/93988 Link to the OCD and Anxiety Treatment Center: https://www.theocdandanxietytreatmentcenter.com/Find a Therapist through Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us

This episode is super informative and eye opening, and really provides ways that we as a society can be more inclusive to everyone around us. Join us throughout the month of October as wear green and strive to bring awareness to Dwarfism. 

This week's episode is filled with all of YOUR knowledge, experiences, and suggestions. We asked you to share all your thoughts on all things weddings.

WE'RE BACK WITH SEASON TWO BFFS!!!! Did you miss us??? We missed you SO MUCH but the last few months have been much needed and we used the break to really prep for this season. We're so excited for you to hear it. Today's episode is all about embarrassing moments. We had submissions from you guys as always, and shared far too many of our own. We won't give too much away here but prepare to hear about encounters with exes, wardrobe malfunctions, and some awkward accidental texts...  

THIS IS THE LAST EPISODE.. of Season ONE!!!! We're so proud of how far we've come in this first season of Is This Thing On and we couldn't have done any of it without you. We have big plans going forward, and in order to best execute them, we've decided to refocus and really take the time we need to make season 2 the best it can possibly be. In this episode, we talk about what that means, reflect on this inaugural season, and what we have planned for the future. We also discuss our thoughts on the second episode of Katie's season of the Bachelorette because how could we not?? Catch us posting new episodes wherever you get your podcasts on September 3rd, and make sure to keep up with us on Instagram (@isthisthingonpod) and Tik Tok (@isthisthingonpodcast) in the meantime.WE LOVE YOU ITTO FAM.

After hearing feedback that our first plead the fifth episode wasn't juicy enough because we talked ourselves out of answering questions, we decided it was about time for a redemption round. We answer questions about Debt, Addictions, and lots and lots of Kissing. I'd dare say you won't be disappointed. Did I mention we didn't edit this episode at all???BONUS for you Bachelorette fans, the last few minutes of this episode, and future episodes throughout this season of the Bachelorette, we'll be discussing our thoughts on the previous episode, Katie, and her many suitors.

You know those things that really just make a friendship? Maybe bond you together in a way that you can't undo? Could be as little as knowing eachother's phone password, or having a relationship with their family. Either way, in this episode we're diving into the core of friendship and what constitutes "closeness".

Also in this episode, we give ideas on how to support those in your life who cope with chronic illnesses, as well as encouragement for other chronic warriors.

You may never have heard the term but you're probably familiar with the concept.. today we're talking about 'Icks', defined by Urban Dictionary as "Feeling an intense cringe or nausea at the thought of someone doing normal things that leave you repulsed". All in good humor and not meant to be taken too seriously, laugh with us at awkward humanisms and interactions as we dive into--the Icks.
