But, as she is quick to remind anyone too distracted by her wins, making a living out of your deepest, darkest moments presents unique challenges.In this episode of the Anxiety Hour, she looks back on her own very lauded work and reminds us that success won’t protect you from yourself.Listen and Subscribe to the Anxiety Hour on Apple , Spotify or whenever you get your podcasts.
