[EPISODE 43] - Cheerbrarian Presents - Anna Przy, mental health advocate, on taking risks, doing less, and loving yourself and the journey

Today I am delighted to be speaking with Anna Przy hilarious elder millennial content creator who tells us all to "keep it up cutie!" as she advocates for mental health and choosing happiness in your daily life.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Unsolicited Advice - I got to be the advice receiver from a content creator I truly adore. She has really cracked the code on being herself, and doing what makes her happy, rather than living according to anyone else’s standards, or to meet societal standards of productivity. A lot about today's episode resonated with me, but in particular the lines: "there is no glory in burning yourself out" and "What's wrong with taking the easier route" are now etched in my brain.

Unrequired Reading - Anna Recommended two books for us to check out, firstly, her motivational book, Keep It Up Cuties: A Not-Quite Self-Help Book and Laziness Does Not Exist by Dr Devon Price. For Anna, she’s into historical and romance, so I recommended “A Thousand Splendid Ships” by Natalie Haynes and “The Queer Principles of Kit Webb” by Cat Sebastian.

It's a new year which makes it a nice time time for a fresh clean start, but often you bite off more than we can chew, and by mid January you feel like you're already off track. I'm here to help kick that attitude to the curb and share a few new ways to think about your new year.

ALSO I dropped the SUPER exciting news that next week’s guest is the hilarious and amazing Anna Przy, known on TikTok and Instagram for her engaging content about mental health. You don’t want to miss our convo!

IN THIS EPISODE:

Unsolicited Advice - Ease into the new year. Use January to give your space to try new things and see what works. Trial and error is part of the process. Looking for a framework? Come up with what YOU want more and less of in 2025. And remember, fight perfectionistic thinking by reminding yourself in the moment that if something is not ideal, that is just fine.

Unrequired Reading - Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts by Oliver Burkeman is a book I read at the end of last year, and I’m reading again!
