What do parasailing, cassette tapes, and Anne Hathaway have in common? Christy’s mental health journey. In this spicy origin story episode, Melisa interviews Christy with questions about childhood, coping, and coming home to herself — Scorpio-style. We uncover childhood memories, early signs of anxiety, coping mechanisms (including a VERY creative one), and the moment she realized, "Oh, this is deeper than just stress."

Whether you're navigating your own mental health journey or just need some safe, soulful girl talk — this episode is full of honesty, humor, healing, and hella spicy brain vibes. Expect laughter, tenderness, and zero small talk.

A must-listen if you’re healing from anxiety, curious about therapy, or just want a mental health podcast that feels like a deep convo with your smartest, funniest friend.
