Caroline Flack’s tragic death and breaking down mental health issues

The whole Smart Girl Tribe team was really heartbroken upon hearing about Caroline Flack’s death, and thinking of all those taking their own lives who aren’t famous and who aren’t known, the stories we don’t know about which is why I have given some friends of mine a call who are experts in the mental health field to share tips, tricks and advice. In this episode we break anxiety down with Vikki Louise, we talk about anxiety triggers, we dive into neuroscience ; the primitive brain versus the prefrontal cortex, what happens when we have a panic attack, and tools you can implement today and right now to help your anxiety. We also discuss the relationship between social media and mental health issues,  what the process looks like in becoming a mental health expert and all the brainy things we just aren’t taught in schools. This episode does contain strong language and if you are struggling please talk or reach out to a friend, family member, counsellor or therapist.
