She provides practical self-care advice, including slowing down in busy environments like New York City, and highlights the importance of self-awareness and active listening in her work. Anna talks about her journey from a communications background to working in mental health, including her transformative experiences at Headspace and working in the Office of Former First Lady Michelle Obama. As they explore the intersection of career and mental well-being, Anna advises soon-to-be graduates on balancing mental health with thriving careers, shares her anticipation of autumn in New York City, and encourages listeners to prioritize hobbies and self-care practices.
