Love that Alegra is having these important conversations! Such a great listen!
Alegra is so interesting and I appreciate her openness so much. This is a great podcast
My OCD onset was at the age of 19, and I lived undiagnosed/misdiagnosed with GAD until I was 25. Resources like this are livesaving! I realized I had OCD from seeing an instagram ad, after spending $1000’s on therapy. I can’t state enough how people like Alegra are changing the narrative. Incredible person and incredible podcast.
I so wish this education was around during my onset. Nonetheless so grateful for it now (currently going through a flare up) Girl, you’re a star and changing lives 🤍
I have listened to every single episode and I have loved them all! I’m excited to listen to more!!!
