Content creator and founder Victoria Garrick Browne stops by the Unwell studio for a warm, honest convo about mental health, body image, and building a life that actually feels good. Victoria shares how playing D-1 volleyball at USC led to performance anxiety, why she gave her TEDx talk as a sophomore, and how that moment grew into her nonprofit The Hidden Opponent. She opens up about healing her relationship with food, advocating for being transparent about procedures, and learning to set boundaries online.
Victoria also talks love, meeting her husband Max Browne in college, juggling two student-athlete schedules, and dreaming about a family one day. She and Avery swap stories about the creator community, protecting your peace when you live online, and the power of showing up as your authentic self. Plus: Taylor Swift and Beyoncé tangents, the genius of Instagram broadcast channels, and lessons from her podcast Real Pod.
