Hey friend! I'm Nicky and you just caught me chatting abouta curious topic - are you a Karen? I recently explored what it means to exhibit"Karen" behavior. You know, that demanding, entitled attitude thatrears its ugly head in public tantrums. We've all seen the memes and maybe evenbeen embarrassed by over-the-top outbursts. But in my latest podcast episode, Idig deeper into the root causes. From anxiety disorders to depression, poorcoping skills to lack of self-awareness, "Karen" eruptions often hintat an underlying mental health struggle. So if you (or someone you know) tendto fly off the handle, take a listen. You'll hear me share vulnerable storiesof my own freak-outs pre-treatment (yes, I was a Karen!). More importantly,you'll learn healthy strategies to catch yourself before sparking that fieryrage dragon. Because our outbursts hurt us far more than others. And each of usdeserves compassion, self-care, and practical tools to communicate inconstructive ways. So settle in with your favorite latte and hit play to hearthe full Karen conversation. We'll even cover signs that anxiety or depressionmay be worsening those tendencies. My goal is to help you recognize unhealthypatterns and choose new responses that heal.
