mental health with Annika Boron

59 minutes

Today’s episode stars a guest who has ample experience speaking vulnerably about her mental health. As a former Youtuber and influencer @annikaboron always prioritized being honest about how her mental health impacted her quality of life. Today we discuss her experience with anxiety, depressiona, BPD and OCD, as well as the many ups and downs she’s faced along the way. We learn the lessons she did the hard way, and the tips she’s developed throughout her life to support herself.

We can all understand the negative effects of social media on our self perception. For Annika, the hate comments and bullying she faced lead her to setting health boundaries to help herself cope. Notably, she doesn’t sugar coat the difficult moments she’s faced - she speaks on how she’s developed narratives and routines that help her instead of bring her down. Her most empowering example of this? Taking the traumatic experience of getting her nudes leaked and turning it into a business that stands for women's rights and desexualizes the female body.

This episode is about social media, mental health, and bullying, but it’s also about turning shame on its head. After all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
