In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Jodi sits down with bestselling author, mental health advocate, and Gen Z voice Carrie Berk to talk about her new memoir Mindfire: Diary of an Anxious Twentysomething. Carrie opens up about turning her raw journal entries into a published book, navigating OCD and anxiety in her early twenties, and how vulnerability became her greatest source of strength.
Together, they explore what it means to be fearlessly authentic in a world that tells you to hide your pain, and why being open about mental health is more important now than ever.

• Why journaling helped Carrie process trauma and grief
• The real-life inspiration behind Mindfire
• Advice for young adults facing anxiety, heartbreak, and identity crises
