This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

This is the Ben and Ashley I, almost famous podcast with IHartRadio.

All right, guys, welcome to Part 2 with Hannah Brown, talking about her new book, Bachelorette, Home Improvements.

The other thing that was like a little serious that I did want to talk to you about

that I'm like sad for you and you should never feel this way is that you posted on Instagram

about like not feeling like you're putting yourself out there because you don't like yourself

but why don't you like yourself because you're so wonderful. Thank you so much. I think

I've always had bouts of struggling in my mental health,

and I'm very open about that. But I think sometimes I don't feel like I'm living in the fullness

of my potential, and I can get really bogged down by my anxiety. Okay. And I think that's what I meant of like, ugh, I, my anxiety sometimes, like, takes over my life.

And I can't, and I don't like that version of myself.

That is not, not even grateful, but, like, doesn't see the fullness of opportunities that she has, the wonderful

parts of my life because I'm on this loop in my head to where I don't get stuff done.

I'm not being as intentional and available for the people around me. And then I also don't know how to

show up on social media because I'm just kind of like in this loop. When I have so much, like I do.

I'm so grateful. And so I don't like when that happens. And it feels hard, as you know, like social media can be really

hard and you don't want to be like always on there crying or talking about how bad life sucks

right now because you know everybody is going through something. But I also don't want to be fake

and pretend like life is like perfect all the time because

that's not true either.

And so then I just show a little bit of that and then like isolate.
