This week's guest is nothing short of a phenom. She is a true example of chronically living with self-hatred and the story she shares today shows how deep the voices inside your head can be. How incapacitating and also, how dangerous it can be. She bravely describes how the ins and outs of living with significant depression, anxiety, and feelings of low self-worth.
Her heart shines through her story though. She is such a trooper that we actually were shared a lot of laughs during this somewhat difficult interview. From significant body dysmorphism to being diagnosed with depression and taking antidepressants to canceling all social media to adopting two pets, she has so much insight and is able to share the ups and downs with us today.
Quotables:
"All you see is staged moments" (with regards to social media)
"It's better to feel pain than nothing at all"
"The opposite of love is indifference"
"You are more than what you think people think you are and you are more than what people think you are"
In the end, Mckenzie might have said she likes my podcast as much as she likes her aunt's :), she also promised she will return for part-2, so stay tuned.
For now, stay well, stay tuned, and stay frosty...
