Manage episode 442503559 series 3563087
In this rare solo episode, Danusia shares a self-care secret that’s hiding in plain sight: cuddling a teddy bear. Yep, you heard right. We’re talking about the comfort of snuggling up to a stuffed toy, and why it’s not just for kids anymore. From CEOs sneaking plushies into bed to Supreme Court judges traveling with their own teddy, we unpack how this simple, often hidden habit can be a game-changer for stress relief and better sleep.
We get into the science, real stories, and some surprising facts about why this soft, squishy form of self-care is making a comeback among adults. Grab your snuggly, get comfy, and let’s challenge the stigma together.
