Episode notes
What we don’t say, we store. In this episode, Angela and Courtney unpack why unspoken thoughts keep looping in our bodies and how expression—not external validation—creates relief. Courtney shares the origin story of Air Out, a simple, anonymous app that “greenlights” self-expression: no usernames, no likes, no comments—just space to move the energy so your mind gets quiet and your body can exhale. They explore grief in the everyday (from butterflies that feel like a hello to the pea under a stack of mattresses), the surprising power of anonymity for men and teens, and why healing starts inside-out, not outside-in.
Key takeaways:
- Expression is the exit. The opposite of depression is expression; unexpressed thoughts stay on your brain’s “to-do” list until you move them out.
