Grace was one of the first YouTubers out there; she's an actor and voiceover artist (you can hear here most recently as Cindy Bear on Max's Jellystone!), a podcaster and the author of TWO books! On today's episode, Grace walks us through the early days of "content creation", the toll it took on her psyche, getting into therapy to figure that stuff out, meeting her husband, going to grad school for Depth Psychology, and finding out she had breast cancer. Yes, folks, we get INTO it and Grace is kind enough to take us through a tour of her adult life! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
