Welcome to Episode 11 of The Madhappy Podcast. Today we are very excited to welcome Tinx onto the show to hear about her growth as a creator and her experiences with anxiety throughout her life in both the private and now public eye.  We jump into a conversation about habits (03:52) before Tinx shares how she identified, experienced, and handled anxiety throughout her childhood in London and the states (09:33).  Tinx talks about how her anxiety affected her mental and physical state as a teenager which in part, pushed her to begin therapy (13:28), moving us into a conversation about the importance of taking care of both the mind and body (14:40). We ask Tinx what she did before becoming a full-time content creator (17:19) and discuss the pressures that come with the common, yet false, mindset that a person needs to have everything figured out in their 20s (21:28).  Tinx opens up about her reasoning behind being open and honest on social media and how she hopes her vulnerability and content help her audience make changes and get support as needed in their own lives (34:00).  We touch on relationships (36:47), Tinx shares how she addresses and works to help her mental health (41:32), and we wrap up by learning one thing Tinx thinks her followers do not know about her life (46:02). We talk about some serious topics on this show. We are not professionals and are not giving advice.
