Summary

Avery sits down for a solo House Call to talk openly about mental health, perfectionism, and the quiet ways burnout can sneak up on you. From stepping back from constant scrolling to finding joy in everyday moments, she shares what the past year has really looked like behind the scenes and how putting her phone down helped her start feeling like herself again. She gets real about therapy, anxiety, letting go, and learning to focus on the life right in front of her. Plus, Avery answers listener questions with practical advice on routines, overthinking, boundaries, and what’s actually helped her climb out of a mental rut. A vulnerable, grounding episode for anyone who needs the reminder that it’s okay to ask for help and take care of yourself first.

yesterday at my house. Unwell came over and I'm learning all the equipment and doing a lot of

behind the scenes when it comes to production, which is really fun for me. And I do feel my age is catching up to me, though, because technology is
