DeepSummary
In this episode, host Sabrina Zohar interviews Anna Przy, a digital content creator and event planner, about her mental health journey and how being open and vulnerable has helped her find success. Anna shares her experience of struggling with an eating disorder from a young age and finally seeking treatment at 19, against her family's wishes. This marked the first time she did something for herself and opened the door to understanding her mental health.
Anna discusses how meeting her husband shortly after starting therapy allowed her to grow and prioritize herself, eventually leading to her sharing her journey online during the pandemic after being let go from her job. She emphasizes the importance of communication, setting boundaries, and not relying on relationships to find happiness within yourself first. Both Sabrina and Anna highlight the messy and ongoing nature of healing, stressing that it's okay not to have perfect days or a perfect life.
They also touch on long-distance relationships, with Anna sharing how it allowed her to be selfish with her time and appreciate her husband as a bonus rather than a necessity. Overall, the conversation aims to normalize the mental health experience, embrace imperfections, and encourage listeners to focus on their own growth and self-acceptance.
