Today, I get to speak with Ania Wysocka, the founder and creator of Rootd. Rootd is an incredible app that helps people to manage anxiety and panic attacks in the moment. With over 1.25 million downloads to date, the app has been featured in publications like Women’s Health, Healthline, and Time Magazine’s The Age of Anxiety. In recognizing her contributions to mental health awareness and technology, Ania earned a spot on BC Business’ top 30 under 30 in 2020. During our conversation, Ania breaks downs how and why she created Rootd, the inspiration for Ron (your companion in the app), and how her definition of success has evolved over time. Thanks for listening.
