Host Giulia Rozzi talks about Zoloft, sobbing in a DC hotel room, and why Conan O'Brien made her go back on meds. Also, it's me Giulia. I write these episode descriptions in the third person. Wild right?? I had recorded a whole episode with my sister but had tech issues and couldn't use it. This episode doesn't have excellent audio (apologies!) but it's the best I could do with my faulty internet connection today. Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy 40 minutes of me sharing a story about depression and anxiety that means a lot to me.
