Episode 40: Unapologetically Authentic: Prioritizing Yourself & Living by Your Own Expectations with Anna Przy
In this inspiring and refreshingly honest episode of The F.E.E.L Podcast, host Melissa Crook sits down with the empathetic, magical, and self-described “delusional” Anna Przy to explore what it really means to put yourself first—and why doing so can be the most unselfish choice you make.
Anna opens up about her own journey from lifelong people-pleasing and ignoring her needs, to embracing daily self-check-ins, asking for help without fear, and rebuilding her life from the ground up. She reflects on how burnout can be the result of a lifetime of neglecting your own well-being—and shares small but powerful steps to break the cycle before reaching a breaking point.
Together, we dive into:
How to recognize when you need help—and actually reach out for it
Daily self-care habits that prevent burnout before it starts
Why getting to the root cause of your emotions changes everything
Practical ways to shift from “should” to “could” thinking
The art of celebrating yourself the way you’d celebrate a friend
Anna’s warmth and enthusiasm are infectious, leaving you feeling seen, energized, and ready to make space for yourself in your own life.
Ways to Engage: Make a list of what you do for yourself vs. what you do for others. Which is bigger? Which do you fulfill most of the time? Make sure you’re doing as much (if not more) for yourself as you do for others.
