241: Feeling All the Feels with Cookbook Author Carissa Stanton

In this episode, I sit down with Carissa Stanton – content creator, food blogger, and now-cookbook author – to discuss the release of her cookbook “Seriously, So Good” and how she’s feeling during publishing week. Carissa talks about being equally excited, overwhelmed, and anxious, and we discuss the feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop during times of success. She shares details about her recent engagement, why she has always felt she wanted an intimate wedding, and how she plans to include her friends in the celebration. She also discusses her relationship with anxiety and how she regulates herself, why and how she went off her SSRIs, and what she is most excited to share from her cookbook.
