Sessions with Shawna

Ever feel like you’re in the room but not really in it? Like everyone else got the group chat memo except you? Same. In this episode, we’re getting real about what it means to be a chronic outsider—the girl who’s always been liked but never quite gotten, who’s friendly with everyone but still feels on the edge of every circle. I’m sharing my personal experiences, some insight, and why being the outsider might actually be your superpower (even when it doesn’t feel like it).Plus, I’m introducing a brand-new segment: What Would Shawna Say? - where I answer your real questions and give you a response. Whether you’ve always felt a little different or you’re just tired of trying to “fit in,” this episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking and start owning your space.See you in session! **This podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and is not intended to replace health or mental health advice.
