This episode is with Annie MacIntosh. Annie is a content creator, marketer, and master of counseling student living in Vancouver BC. In the episode we start off by discussing Annie’s role as a content creator and influencer and her love for nature, before diving deeper into her experience living with depression, how she takes care of her mental health, and more about her desire to help others as she completes her master's program. I hope you enjoy this episode with Annie MacIntosh.

"...it's so deeply important to learn to release the shame and just practice radical acceptance of who we are and who others are and move away from the black and white thinking that one way of perceiving the world and emoting is the right way." - Annie MacIntosh
