EP114: EMILY AND LINDSAY STETZER - OCD and Me

First things first, I wanted to apologize for my two-week hiatus from posting episodes for Solace and the City.  I discuss the reasons for my absence in the intro, but ultimately I can only attribute this to the difficulties of balancing a full-time job with a self-run podcast!  Nevertheless, I am back with an incredible episode featuring the co-founders of Presently, Emily and Lindsay Stetzer.  In this episode, I speak with Emily and Lindsay about their history dealing with OCD and how the obsessions and compulsions that they each battle differ.  As someone who also suffers with OCD, I am able to share my personal experience and how it impacted my childhood and young adult life.  Emily and Lindsay certainly turned lemons into lemonade by creating a jewelry company that pulls from lessons they learned from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT.  You can check out their beautiful creations on https://www.thinkpresently.com/ and follow them on Instagram @thinkpresently.  Finally, I mention a YouTube video towards the end of the episode that had a major impact on my own personal growth.  If you are up for a cry session, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnKZ4pdSU-s
