#057: I’m Proud of You - with Shamiso Mushambi

from Too Old For This Sh*t

**Today with stand-up comic and accountant Shamiso Mushambi we talk about the juxtaposition of achieving our goals and its cost on our wellbeing if not kept in check.

We cover: • How she got into stand-up comedy.
 • Taking control of our lives and narratives.
 • Type casting in movies/ series. How Miranda Bailey in Grey's Anatomy means different things to different viewers.
 • Imposter syndrome.
 • How her plans for 2020 panned out.
 • High functioning survival mode when depressed and suicidal.
 • Detaching from our feelings and what it does to us.
 • Self-care is not optional if you want to live, and not just getting by.
 • Finding our reason to live, both internal and external.
 • Young people being convinced that all anxiety needs to be medicated. There needs to be a scale.


*Content note: this episode contains topics such as depression and suicidal ideation. Mention of pedophilia (no details or what happenned, but it is mentioned), discretion is advised*
