Bridgett Burrick Brown (00:01.208) Hello everybody, welcome back. I am your host, Bridget Burrick Brown. And today I am here with Anna Priz. Thank you so much, Anna, for being here today. I'm so excited to dive into all of it. Anna Przy (prizz) (00:14.905) Thank you for having me. I'm having a lovely time already and we just got here. Bridgett Burrick Brown (00:16.846) I'm so excited. I know, right? And we match. We a little bit match. I have the stripes. You have the checkers. We have like a vibe. So I know. Oh, me too. I'm like, it actually like pops a pink and red. So I'm feeling I'm feeling the setup. So I found your Instagram page. My best friend sent me a real and she's like, you have Anna Przy (prizz) (00:24.921) We're just going for it. Black and white is my favorite color, Exactly. Bridgett Burrick Brown (00:45.186) got to go to this girl's page, she's hilarious, and she talks about bodies. And the real that I'm referring to is one I've probably watched like 20 times, but I'm gonna tell you guys a couple lines from it because it's just so good. But you said, you know, we have to stop postponing our best lives, waiting to feel comfortable in our skin bags. Our flesh sacks are still the most least interesting thing about us. Anna Przy (prizz) (00:53.006) Yeah! Anna Przy (prizz) (01:08.631) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (01:15.298) What someone else thinks about your meat pot pocket has nothing to do with you. Time spent crying about the organ bone and brain container is nonrefundable. And then at the ending, and she says more in there, but in the way you say it is so funny, but then at the ending, the vacuum breaks. Anna Przy (prizz) (01:34.263) Yeah, that was a really sad day. Bridgett Burrick Brown (01:36.908) I mean, your face, you were like, wait, what? I mean, it's so funny. So I just love, and we're gonna dive into all this stuff. do such like, I do a lot of research on my guests. So I wanna really start from the beginning and go through everything, not to like make you tell your whole story. Anna Przy (prizz) (01:52.963) Yeah. No, I'm really good at it. So. Bridgett Burrick Brown (01:58.542) I feel like you have to because I was like, I try to sometimes not make people because I'm like, oh, they're probably like, oh, I got to my story again, but it's just so good. So also we're both from Michigan, which is super cool. We found that out. But so let's start there. I heard you say something about, you know, growing up in the Midwest, we receive a lot of messages, like, you know, as a girl specifically, that we can be anything we want. Anna Przy (prizz) (02:08.194) Yeah! Anna Przy (prizz) (02:13.369) Mm-hmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (02:22.763) Mm-hmm. Yes. Bridgett Burrick Brown (02:28.674) but it has to be the right thing, the appropriate thing and good enough. So I'm just curious how that shaped your confidence and like your self image as a young girl growing up in Michigan. Anna Przy (prizz) (02:31.722) Mm-hmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (02:43.407) Well, I had no confidence and I had no self-worth or appreciation for myself. So I grew up in a household deeply ingrained in misogyny in the Midwest in the 90s. So it's like you get what you get. my parents were elite athletes. So that's kind of where also a lot of this comes from where I was raised in a household with people who were always competing. All of their friends were athletes. Bridgett Burrick Brown (03:01.09) Mm-hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (03:07.31) Mmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (03:13.399) So my entire world was these people who I thought it was normal. And I thought this is how everybody lived their life in this like very strange eating patterns and very strange exercise patterns and very strange daily routines. so I was especially confused because there was just so much value put on the body, even more so than already existed, right? Bridgett Burrick Brown (03:14.39) wow. Bridgett Burrick Brown (03:37.868) Yeah Bridgett Burrick Brown (03:43.096) Totally. Anna Przy (prizz) (03:43.375) I mean, this is like so depressing, but a couple of days ago in 2025, I got an email from Hydroxycut asking me if I wanted to work for them. And I was like, wait, is it 1996? Because what is happening? And so like on top of like the outrageous like diet culture of the 90s, I was in a household of like chaos of, it was diet culture. Bridgett Burrick Brown (04:10.52) Yeah. I can relate to that coming from the modeling world and just like living with models that were all like that. And then also my twin brother fought in the UFC for a while. So he was always like, between the two of us, we were always doing like extreme diets and like it's intense. Anna Przy (prizz) (04:19.489) Yeah! Anna Przy (prizz) (04:30.549) Mm-hmm. Yeah, and I was also like a latchkey kid. so then there was kind of this like, I was also so unsupervised. So I got to really live a very unhealthy life because I, you know, I talk about this in the show that you said you watched, but like, I remember when I was six years old thinking I was fat and you know, it's so tough. when someone's like, how long did you have an eating disorder? And I say my whole life. I've never not had an eating like. Bridgett Burrick Brown (04:58.446) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (05:00.121) From the day I probably came home from the hospital. And my dad and my mom, food was a reward. these very, I was, my grandma, everybody around me just wasn't happy with who I was as a person. The way that I looked was a problem for everybody around me. And that's so stressful. When I would come home and my mom be like, Bridgett Burrick Brown (05:01.579) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (05:24.814) Mmm. Yeah. Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (05:28.591) How did you gain all that weight? And I'm seven. And you're like, I don't know, I'm seven. And then my dad being like, oh, you can have that cupcake if you go for a run with me right now. And you're like, I am eight years old. Bridgett Burrick Brown (05:33.249) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (05:39.278) when I heard you say that. Yeah, I heard you say that and I was like, whoa, yeah, uh-huh. Anna Przy (prizz) (05:46.771) And so that was just, I mean, that was my whole life. And then people will ask me, know, fast forward to when I was 19 and I entered an inpatient rehab facility, duh. Like, how come nobody, you know, how are you sick for so long and nobody said anything? And I was like, if you're literally surrounded by other sick people, how would anybody know or recognize that I was doing it just a little bit more even than everybody else or just taking it to the extreme because Bridgett Burrick Brown (06:07.234) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (06:16.719) If I lose weight, you love me more. So if I lose even more weight, then everybody will love me. And it was this very transactional relationship with everybody in my family. Like, I remember asking my mom, like, I want to lose weight. And she's like, sure, that's a great idea. Like, we can work on that as a team. And you're just like. Bridgett Burrick Brown (06:19.81) Yeah. Hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (06:36.994) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (06:37.581) Why can't anybody let me live my life? Bridgett Burrick Brown (06:40.672) Yeah, like looking back, do you feel like you needed to lose weight or are you just a normal kid living? No, yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (06:47.423) No. was I like a slim trim model? No, but I was like 12 years old. It wasn't this, you know, it wasn't this crisis that it really felt like in my life. And yeah, it was just like, why don't you look like everybody else? It's just like, I don't know. Maybe we're not the same. Yeah, because I'm not them. I'm me. I don't. Bridgett Burrick Brown (06:57.281) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (07:03.917) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (07:09.623) Yeah. Cause I'm myself. Mm-hmm. So do you feel like you got rewarded when you got smaller? Anna Przy (prizz) (07:21.679) 1000 % and I and I think that's still unfortunately exists that like Changing yourself to look like what other people want you to look like and it's like, but are you happy and And it was like I mean my dad paid me to exercise like this like none of this was like It was like if you go from like I will pay you $1 a mile like for every mile you run and you're like, okay Okay, Bridgett Burrick Brown (07:23.084) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (07:33.216) Yeah, totally. Bridgett Burrick Brown (07:46.859) Anna Przy (prizz) (07:48.623) I guess this is my life now. Like if I want to buy things, I'm going to have to run 20 miles a week. Like, I don't know. Bridgett Burrick Brown (07:54.572) And that's what you were doing when you got diagnosed with anorexia, right? You were in track. You are. Anna Przy (prizz) (07:59.663) I had just lost my scholarship, so I got injured, no surprise, because my body could literally not heal itself. And that was in college, so I did run through college. And in college, I got injured and lost my scholarship, so I dropped out of school and ran away. You know, you gotta do what you gotta do when you're... Yes. Bridgett Burrick Brown (08:04.903) Mm, yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (08:20.217) yeah, you ran to Florida. Bridgett Burrick Brown (08:24.984) Sun and boys. You're like sun boys and booze or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (08:28.225) Yeah, booze, and beaches, the three B's. It's what every 19 year old girl needs when she's just lost her entire identity, which was being a runner and then my entire relationship to my parents. Like, imagine how terrifying that is. Like I now have no way to communicate with the most important people in my life and I have no way to control my weight. Because. Bridgett Burrick Brown (08:41.25) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (08:53.038) Hmm, mm-hmm, you're not running. Anna Przy (prizz) (08:55.009) I'm in pain and I physically, yeah, I can't run. And so then like while I had had an eating disorder my whole life, very obviously to me now, obviously it ramped up times a million at this point in my life. And so within a year, everything fell apart. And it was just that like, I couldn't stand up without passing out and I, was all these things going on and I didn't really know what it was, which is so silly. Like, hey, do you eat? Bridgett Burrick Brown (09:04.888) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (09:22.861) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (09:23.787) No? Okay. Well, maybe think about that. my family, you know, I knew that they wouldn't be, I knew that they wouldn't want to hear it, right? Like something's wrong with me because even then, my dad said to me, even once I was in rehab, he said to me, if you're worried about gaining weight, can work, we can make a new training plan for when you come home. And Bridgett Burrick Brown (09:25.783) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (09:51.192) wow, wow. Anna Przy (prizz) (09:53.471) I was like, I'm not worried about gaining weight. I'm worried about dying. Like, what do you mean? I'm afraid for my life and you're still thinking this is about weight. Like none of this at that point was about weight. Bridgett Burrick Brown (09:57.078) You're worried about it. Yeah, aww. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (10:08.182) Yeah, had you at that point, I think you mentioned that you had like stopped getting a period. Anna Przy (prizz) (10:13.679) I never really had one. I got my first one when I was 17 and then I maybe had one a year for the till I was 30. Not good. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (10:16.302) yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (10:22.894) Mmm, yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah, no. So do your, okay, so do your parents like now that you're doing this work and kind of talking about this through, aww, aww, I love hearing that. Anna Przy (prizz) (10:37.539) They're amazing. I am the luckiest kid in the world. Yeah, no, and I know that that's not the norm. I know that, but it is just like, my mom has recognized publicly, like it is so important to let your kid tell their story. they've heard it so many times now, you know, that's hard. They've been to every show. Yeah. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (10:53.921) I love this. Bridgett Burrick Brown (11:01.356) Yeah, the show I watched, your dad was in the audience and that's the first thing I thought of. I was like, I wonder how they feel about it and what conversations you guys have had. Anna Przy (prizz) (11:10.735) No, they're amazing. They are so willing to learn and grow. They are so willing to listen. That wasn't like overnight though, right? That took decades of like kind of teaching them too along the way and saying like, hey, like, do you remember how stressful I was to you? Because I was always acting out and because things were, you know, things felt like I just couldn't get it together. And I was like, I have terrible depression. Bridgett Burrick Brown (11:21.23) Yeah, yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (11:40.761) So like nobody ever asked questions like, why is she doing that? Why is she acting out? And it's like, I have no value for my life. have zero respect for my life because I don't know that I'm depressed. And just all these things like that I had to kind of teach them along the way with this. Like, this is what's happening here. Like, this is not about weight loss. This is not about anything. This is about like, I just cannot figure out. how a person lives normally because I've never had it modeled to me. And at that point in time, we were a product of our environment because the internet wasn't really a thing. And I always say, now the internet has saved my life because I have access to everybody in the world. can see people, I can see how they live their lives, I can see what they look like, I can see what they do on a daily basis. And I didn't have that. All I had was the world I lived in, which was I was a runner, I lived with my team. Bridgett Burrick Brown (12:11.534) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (12:19.981) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (12:25.09) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (12:35.861) I ate with my team. like the, yeah. then, yeah. So was like, I never knew anything else until I got to kind of experience the world and be like, it doesn't have to be like this. This doesn't have to look like this at all. Bridgett Burrick Brown (12:39.36) You lived with your parents, they also, you know, yep. Bridgett Burrick Brown (12:51.95) Do you think moving to Florida was the start of that? Anna Przy (prizz) (12:55.169) Yeah, I mean, moving to Florida was a bad idea. Like I made nothing but, but poor decisions, but I'm grateful that I did it because everything fell apart faster versus. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (12:58.685) yeah. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (13:05.038) Well, you got separation. It probably forced you to have this separation. Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (13:09.335) Yes, and like they couldn't stop me. Like even if they tried, it would take them about 24 hours to get to me when I was like, I'm going to rehab, bye. And they were like, you can't go to rehab. What are you talking? Like, what are we going to tell our friends? You know, and you're like, hey, I don't really care. I, this is the first time I've ever felt enough care for myself to say I don't want to die. Bridgett Burrick Brown (13:15.917) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (13:22.5) Mmm, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (13:33.142) I mean, thank God you felt that at 19. Some people wait such a long time, you know, like. Anna Przy (prizz) (13:37.165) Yeah. Well, I know. And I mean, the other thing that I'm so lucky for that experience was just I obviously had a very, like a very narrow worldview. And to go into a treatment facility and to live with 60 other women with eating disorders and addiction trouble and like and like be in that environment. And then I was in like a there's a lot of these in Florida. They don't really exist anywhere else. Kind of like it's kind of like living. Bridgett Burrick Brown (13:48.003) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (14:05.455) Like they put you in an apartment and they make you make a grocery list. And they, it was kind of this like relearning how to exist as a person. Um, but, but it was an eye opener for me because I'm a 19 year old girl and I'm watching 40 year old women who can't follow the rules. Like who are getting caught, who are getting caught exercising and who are like sneaking food under their bed. Like I'm, I was like, Oh God, like I really don't not in the mean way, but like. Bridgett Burrick Brown (14:08.782) Hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (14:12.558) Yep. Bridgett Burrick Brown (14:21.55) yeah, wow yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (14:34.893) I have to figure this out because if I am 40 years old and like, it's still possible. I have three more years to fall apart again, but it's just that like, I don't want to be here for the rest. I don't want to be here for the rest of my life. And yeah, and seeing people who are like, this is my third time back here. And you're like, I don't want to come back here. I don't like it here. You won't let me have caffeine. Bridgett Burrick Brown (14:37.356) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (14:43.918) Can have dreams. Yeah, that's powerful. Bridgett Burrick Brown (14:56.299) Mm. Mm-mm. Yeah. Yeah, God, yeah. need caffeine. Anna Przy (prizz) (15:04.658) Yeah, and I just, you know, it's just like, I don't want to be sick for the rest of my life. know, it didn't, it sounded bad. Bridgett Burrick Brown (15:12.684) Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. So tell us, bring us now to this part where, so you move back home to Michigan and you start working and you have the career and you are kind of striving for this perfectionism in your life and in a different way. And, but you have this moment where you realize that you could. Anna Przy (prizz) (15:24.335) Mm-hmm. Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (15:33.697) In a different way, Yeah. Yep. Bridgett Burrick Brown (15:43.372) rewrite your own life. And it sounds like you are at this point where you are like in full burnout and just like, yeah, tell us about that. Maybe if there's anything significant leading up to that too, I would love to know. Anna Przy (prizz) (15:49.839) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (15:57.785) Yeah, I mean, it is unfortunately that like I left rehab came back to Michigan and I was like, well, I'm never going to have the perfect body, which is like such an insane thought to still be having. And I was like, so I'm going to do everything else right. Still, I'm so a minute like fought through. really did not want to get my degree, but I was like, I'm here. These get degrees if you didn't know. Bridgett Burrick Brown (16:10.659) Mm-hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (16:14.446) Mmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (16:21.837) Ha ha ha. Anna Przy (prizz) (16:27.831) I didn't know to tell you the truth. I was waiting on my diploma like, please, please show up. And it did. And no, just I was like, I'll get the degree and I'll get the job and I'll work my ass off and I'll be like the youngest CEO in the history of the world. No, just was like, I'm going to. Yeah. And it's so funny to think of like you just transfer like my whole life was food. Yeah. And then I was. Yep. And I was like, I'm just going to Bridgett Burrick Brown (16:27.934) I didn't either. Bridgett Burrick Brown (16:35.182) Please say my name, please say my name. Bridgett Burrick Brown (16:47.57) my god. Bridgett Burrick Brown (16:53.08) The control was like transferred. Anna Przy (prizz) (16:57.773) be massively controlling of the rest of my life. And I did it. And there's this strange moment when you get to the end of that checklist that was laid out for you when you were a kid. That's like, if you get the degree and you get the job and you get the house and you get the car and, and, you get married to the handsome man and then you're going to be happy. And so I was like, I'll just do that. So then you get to the end and you're like, well, I checked all the Bridgett Burrick Brown (17:18.744) Mm-hmm, yep. Anna Przy (prizz) (17:27.471) boxes and I'm just standing on the edge of a cliff. Like there's nothing here. Like where's the happy I was promised? Where's the, where's the glory? And you're just like, Oh no, what did I do? And you're like, I'm 28 years old and I own a company. Like what, what have I done? I don't even think I want to own this company. Bridgett Burrick Brown (17:31.597) Yeah. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (17:39.255) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (17:54.146) Wait, what was your company by the way? I don't think I found that out. Anna Przy (prizz) (17:57.647) So right when I graduated, became an event planner for a company called RF Events. And then in 2018, I started a buyout. So yeah, yeah, yeah. then. Bridgett Burrick Brown (18:01.911) Yes. Bridgett Burrick Brown (18:07.392) Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if I want this company. I say that sometimes right now. I'm like, what did I create? What did I do to myself? I created a full-time job. Anna Przy (prizz) (18:11.843) YAAAAY Anna Przy (prizz) (18:19.403) Yeah, well, the other thing was that I started to buy out. So now I owe three hundred thousand dollars. So it's like now I've realized that I don't want to do this, but you're like. Bridgett Burrick Brown (18:29.657) Wait, I don't know what that means. What's a buyout? Anna Przy (prizz) (18:30.199) I'm in it. I'm here. So you can like buy a company a little bit at a time. Yeah. So that's like, I bought like 16%. And then you're like, so then the agreement was every 50 % of all profits for the foreseeable future until it's paid off, goes back to buy the company. But then we didn't. Bridgett Burrick Brown (18:37.293) Again. Bridgett Burrick Brown (18:57.56) See you at work. Anna Przy (prizz) (18:58.703) Well, I mean, obviously, but so then there's a pandemic and we lose $270,000 that year, right? You're just like, I am in over my head, but here's the thing that happened was I lost everything, right? I lost my job, identity then because my identity was being this woman in business. Yeah, and then. Bridgett Burrick Brown (19:04.909) yeah, we had, yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (19:12.226) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (19:20.556) Yeah, this girl boss. Anna Przy (prizz) (19:25.519) I had none of that and I was at my house and I literally, I felt like I've never even been at my house before. What do we have here? What do we do here? Yeah, like what do we do in here? I don't recall, I've never, I do remember buying it, but, and I was home. Yes, and then it was this crazy turning point moment for my brain was just like. Bridgett Burrick Brown (19:31.95) That's how I was too. I was like, what in the hell? I'm going crazy in here. Bridgett Burrick Brown (19:43.31) Who stocks this place? Anna Przy (prizz) (19:54.063) You don't have any of the things that you thought were important. And you're not miserable. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Bridgett Burrick Brown (19:57.166) Hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (20:06.656) Okay, I am miserable though. Bridgett Burrick Brown (20:12.494) Anna Przy (prizz) (20:23.151) And I'm, I was like, I should be miserable, right? And I was like, no, I love this. I was like, there's a chance that I love being home and I love putzing and I love going to bed early and I love sitting out in the sun for no reason other than to sit in the sun. Yeah, which doesn't exist. Bridgett Burrick Brown (20:28.046) yeah. Aww yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (20:46.574) and being lazy. I love what you say about lazy. Anna Przy (prizz) (20:51.683) Yeah, it's not a thing. That's just resting. And yes, well, it's true. I mean, my sister-in-law, a couple weeks ago, was like having a lazy Sunday with the boys. And I was like, you are on the couch with your children, watching a show together, snuggling up. I was like, that is the least lazy thing I've ever heard. You are bonding. You are connecting. You are showing them that it's okay to recharge. Like, that's the most productive thing I've ever heard of. Bridgett Burrick Brown (20:54.136) What's this resting? I was like, yes. Bridgett Burrick Brown (21:11.64) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (21:16.906) Yes. I love that when I heard you say that, I'm like, I love that so much. I'm going to try to adopt that because I definitely have trouble sitting on the couch. My husband is like, come on, let's just chill. I'm like, no, I do this. I gotta do this. I do this. And like, have to, it's a practice. I have to make myself. Anna Przy (prizz) (21:28.067) Yes! Anna Przy (prizz) (21:31.939) Yeah, it's... to learn that you don't have to fill your time with stuff is like the hardest lesson in the whole world. That like, hey, you don't have to. And being like, are you sure? Shouldn't I be doing stuff? And you're like, you don't have to. And the other thing that's like hard... Bridgett Burrick Brown (21:39.458) Mm-hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (21:46.53) Yeah. Yeah, like you... Bridgett Burrick Brown (21:53.506) You don't have to. Yeah, I love that. Anna Przy (prizz) (22:01.529) to grasp is that when I did less and when I took more time for me and when I tried as hard as I could, you know, still working on it to get rid of that guilt of, you know, recharging and sitting and, and reading a book and just sort of existing and not constantly trying to make a buck. And I was a thousand times more productive as a person. And I was like, that's all it took. Bridgett Burrick Brown (22:27.918) Mm. Anna Przy (prizz) (22:30.829) actually taking care of myself was all it took to become the person I literally had always wanted to be and didn't know that the way to get there wasn't climbing a mountain. I have a video, it was from a long time ago, but I was like, you're looking the wrong direction. Like you might not be, like maybe forward and up is the way you wanna go. I was like, but there's a chance that it's behind you or it's. Bridgett Burrick Brown (22:33.293) Mmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (22:38.712) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (22:44.654) Mm-hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (22:48.59) You Anna Przy (prizz) (22:59.555) taking a break or it's not climbing that ladder today. And coming out the other side, like I prioritized myself for a year and now I have a whole other life. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (23:14.526) Wow. do you, yeah, what do you, do you ever catch yourself going back to, yes, so what do you do? What are your like, kind of like check-ins? Yeah. You laugh about it? Anna Przy (prizz) (23:20.993) Always. Anna Przy (prizz) (23:25.933) I make a video about it. Literally. It's like when I'm going through those. Now when I'm going through like a feeling, I'm like, I gotta gotta talk about it. Like I got to tell somebody and. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (23:37.152) Yeah, you do like your art through it. Like I would journal about it. I would write it. Yeah, I love them. Anna Przy (prizz) (23:42.401) Mm-hmm. It's it's this like magical magical thing that I turned my life into where my job is. Checking in with myself constantly, because that's what the because that's what the content is, because it's like when I sit down to write like a video for today, it's like, where are you? Like, what's going on? What are you worried about? And lately it's been seasonal depression has been kicking my ass just so hard and there's nothing more frustrating. Bridgett Burrick Brown (23:49.067) you Bridgett Burrick Brown (23:52.91) Mmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (24:06.663) Ugh, same. Anna Przy (prizz) (24:12.451) than physically just not being able to do the things you want to do and being like, I know there's no reason for this. That's so frustrating. And I tried to go to Florida and it was cold there too. So I'm not doing very good at the seasonal depression, but yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (24:16.397) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (24:26.222) Florida is not serving you in this lifetime. Anna Przy (prizz) (24:32.225) No, but it was this morning just sitting down and being like, where are you at? And then being like, hey, yeah, I'm really sad and that's okay. And I'm gonna sit in that and then try to make an effort to like do something about it, whatever it is, like changing the sheets. I changed the sheets yesterday. That was like my big like, we are struggling. We have to do something. And it's like, pick a thing, one thing. Bridgett Burrick Brown (24:56.982) Yeah, one thing can be simple. Anna Przy (prizz) (25:00.279) I never pressure myself to do more than one thing, but it's like we have to do one thing every day. Bridgett Burrick Brown (25:05.302) Yeah, and tell us how you, because you really, I think, approach humor in this really beautiful way about how it's not just to like make people laugh, but it can also be empowering and it's this beautiful way to cope and the show that I watched you, the live show I watched you do, you a lot of times would sort of like normalize maybe the audience for us getting like a little uncomfortable and. Anna Przy (prizz) (25:14.157) Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (25:20.207) Yeah Anna Przy (prizz) (25:32.077) Yeah! Bridgett Burrick Brown (25:33.334) And you're just like, you guys, like, we got to laugh. Like, if we don't laugh, we're going to cry. And and I just I don't know. I love humor. And I remember the hardest, probably like the most challenging time in my life. I had lost my mom, my dad, my brother in this really short period, like under two years. And I had just met my husband. He's like one of the funniest people I know. And we had went through something so just horrific with my brother. Anna Przy (prizz) (25:36.033) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (26:02.926) just like something that no human should see, especially like what their sibling and we were like, and we like went on a walk. We're like, let's just get out of the house and like walk it off. And within like three minutes, I remember him like making me like pee my pants, laughing. And I just remember being like, thank you. Like, like that was one of the worst things. And now you're making me laugh. And like, it just made me like, it makes me emotional thinking about it. Cause I'm like, Anna Przy (prizz) (26:05.006) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (26:18.35) Yes. Bridgett Burrick Brown (26:31.734) It made me in that moment be like, have to find reasons to laugh at things, to like get through them. And just like, I love how you deal with your emotions through this humor and wit. It's so cool. So to unpack that a little bit, like, were you always funny? And did you understand sort of like the power in humor or like where it would go with like your healing or helping other people heal? Anna Przy (prizz) (26:37.08) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (26:45.327) You Anna Przy (prizz) (26:51.599) you Anna Przy (prizz) (26:55.778) Yeah Anna Przy (prizz) (27:00.683) there's like two sides of it, right? I've always been funny, but I was funny for like survival for so much of my life because it was like, I am frustrating to everybody around me and everybody finds me either annoying or stressful. And like, you're like, Hey, did you know that that girl has raging ADHD? Because maybe you should, I don't know, check in on her. Nobody did, but all right. And so that was like the only way I could like get people back in my good graces was like, Bridgett Burrick Brown (27:06.539) Okay. Anna Przy (prizz) (27:30.787) Hey, I know everything I do drives you nuts, but look at me. Yeah, but I can make you giggle. And then your whole life, it was trying to be the comedic relief for everyone in the room so that nothing ever got serious. Because I didn't actually, well, I had no idea. I had no coping skills except for humor because you're like, I don't know how to deal with any of this. Bridgett Burrick Brown (27:36.126) that's funny, yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (27:41.293) Yep. Bridgett Burrick Brown (27:49.166) Mmm. You're like, it's serious enough at home. So you're like, kind of need it. Anna Przy (prizz) (27:59.151) And nobody will talk about any of it. So it's like. I'm just going to make a lot of jokes and hope for the best and like for the rest of my life, it's like when you go to tell a joke and you're like, know, when your dad and your mom called you fat and made you like, you know, paid you to exercise and everyone's like. Like, oh, no. And you're like, haha. Bridgett Burrick Brown (28:18.156) No! Bridgett Burrick Brown (28:23.024) No, I don't remember that. Anna Przy (prizz) (28:27.183) a joke I was I was joshin I was joking around I don't know it was just like this big like but I did it really became like a craft that was perfected like my comedic timing is really good for no reason and and all like all these things but it was it never was intended to go anywhere and then uh it really it lends itself so like easily to what I do it's so funny um but all of that is is a Bridgett Burrick Brown (28:28.718) That was a joke. Bridgett Burrick Brown (28:52.75) It's so funny. Anna Przy (prizz) (28:54.319) But it's really a trauma response, honestly. I have good comedic timing and I'm quippy, but only because my life was a nightmare and I didn't know how else to deal with it. And now it's just different. Now it's like, I know how hopeless and helpless this all feels. And I just want you to know that that's okay. And it's also okay to still hold onto any tiny shred of joy you can through that. Bridgett Burrick Brown (28:58.456) It's such a good one though. Bridgett Burrick Brown (29:17.144) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (29:24.191) And yeah, I was like, I can't, I'm still laughing about what I forget. Some of my things I say sometimes, but when you said that, that, that, yeah, the organ bone and brain containers, non-refundable. was like, that is really funny. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (29:24.29) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (29:30.606) So funny, the bag of bones. Bridgett Burrick Brown (29:37.486) No, the time you spend worrying about your organ, brain, and bone container is non-refundable. I mean, it's so funny. Anna Przy (prizz) (29:44.687) Yes, my gosh It is non-refundable and I think that's kind of the other thing it's like when I finally felt like I Had shattered all those like preconceived notions that I had about the world When I lost my job and my identity and I was still happy it was it was kind of moving into that like my god all of this I've wasted so much of my life being miserable. I've wasted so much of my life trying to change myself to fit in so much of my life trying to change my body to fit in and my appearance and my trying to, and was just like, don't ever, yeah, I don't ever want to do that again. I was like, because I can't get any of those days back. I can't get those 34 years back, but I can do whatever I can to make the next 34 years the best ones they possibly can be, even if that doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before. Bridgett Burrick Brown (30:13.868) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (30:20.46) your success and your... Hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (30:29.922) Yeah, yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (30:42.829) And that's, that's kind of where I'm at now. It's like, Hey, it doesn't have to look like that. Like you're the architecture of your life. You don't have to like make it based on something you've seen. just get to, you just get to do whatever you want. Bridgett Burrick Brown (30:43.042) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (30:53.388) Yeah, like be willing to look at it a different way. Like a... Anna Przy (prizz) (30:56.771) Mm hmm. Anything, literally anything in your life, you're like, can you look at that a different way? Can you ask why? I ask why always like if someone's like, I have to do this and why? Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (31:02.542) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Like, yeah, why? Why do you have to do that? Do you think the work you're doing and having that moment during the pandemic was the start of really like fully accepting your flaws and your, not even your flaws, because what's flaws, right? It's like just really accepting yourself. Because I think you really helped. Anna Przy (prizz) (31:26.2) Right. Yeah! Bridgett Burrick Brown (31:31.451) normalize that like, it's all just sort of normal, like who told us that any of this was wrong, or any of our parents was wrong, or the way we live our life, right? Anna Przy (prizz) (31:36.845) The more, yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (31:42.947) The crazier part about it is the more I do it in a way I've never seen it done before, there are these little moments where I am just like, I am a huge fan of you, me. Where I'm just like, you are kind of funny. Like you are a silly goose and like, I just think you're so cute. And to just be able to like say that and then like, even now when, like if I see myself with makeup on in the mirror, I'm like, whoa. Bridgett Burrick Brown (31:55.278) Aww. Bridgett Burrick Brown (32:02.956) You are so cute. Anna Przy (prizz) (32:12.813) That I got so used to what I look like. And I think that's it's just I think it's so magical. I'm so used to what I look like that I think I'm cute as heck. And like, I think all of it's cute. Like I will be looking at my tummy and I'm just like, that's kind of cute. Well, and just like all these little things like because because why? Why am I going to I don't want to spend time. And of course, there's still some crying about pants. Right. Bridgett Burrick Brown (32:30.99) Aww. Anna Przy (prizz) (32:41.551) Of course, there's always crying about pants, but less crying about pants is what we're aiming for. And it's just that the more I put myself first constantly, and the more I decide that I'm important, and the more that I take care of myself, the more that I'm like, that girl is awesome. And I had no idea. I spent my whole life trying to change when I was here the whole time. Bridgett Burrick Brown (32:41.708) Yeah, jeans. Bridgett Burrick Brown (32:59.532) Mm-hmm. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (33:06.432) Yeah. Do you think creating your own thing has helped with that? Because for me it has. Anna Przy (prizz) (33:11.767) Yeah, because it's just this like place where I get to put it's like I took that me shaped hole in the world and put me in it. You're like, there we go. There she is. Like I was like previous to that, I made this joke the other day that like I was just a square peg in a round hole, but I just taped them together and was like. OK, let's go. We're just going to do this. And now I'm like, no, no, I don't I don't I don't need to go in a room that doesn't want me in it. I don't need I don't need to I don't need to fight to. Bridgett Burrick Brown (33:18.36) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (33:32.78) Yeah, yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (33:38.872) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (33:41.657) be around a person who doesn't want to be around me. I created a space for me and if other people want to get in it, that's awesome. And that's kind of just this community I've created. It's like all these magical people who just want to be a little bit happier or not hate themselves so much. Bridgett Burrick Brown (33:44.718) Mmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (33:51.02) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (33:58.04) So do you feel, yeah, do you feel like your community of people around you has changed quite a bit? Anna Przy (prizz) (34:07.471) Yeah, yeah, I mean, or I'm more picky about it or it's just like, I'm not gonna force my way into stuff I don't wanna, like if you don't want me, then I don't wanna be there. I don't know, there's rooms that want you, I know it. Like when I go to these shows and people remind me at the shows all the time and I think it's so cute and they're like, we're not here to see you, we're here for you. Bridgett Burrick Brown (34:08.547) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (34:19.458) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (34:35.438) Aww. Anna Przy (prizz) (34:35.501) Like when I'm nervous or I'm like getting the lines wrong and I'm messing up there, like I've had people be like, we're here for you. Like full stop. Like we're here to like take care of you. And I'm like, whoa, I just built an entire space room full people where like everybody just wants everybody to be happy. And I've done these trips like where people from my community online come. And after the first one, I like couldn't stop crying for days. Bridgett Burrick Brown (34:38.957) Yeah. I heard that actually in the show I watched, Bridgett Burrick Brown (34:48.494) Hmm, yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (34:54.958) Mm-hmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (35:03.865) Because I said, how is it possible that there was 15 of us who have never met each other? And we went on this trip. And the last night I said, being around all of you was like being in a room, was like being in the room of people I have been craving my whole life. Like you are, like everybody just wanted, like they cheered for you as loud for when you said yes, as for when you said no. Like, and I said, that's like all I want in this world is. Bridgett Burrick Brown (35:28.483) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (35:32.077) It's like when one girl is like, this is my trip of saying yes. And I said, this is my trip of saying no. And you know, like, do you want to go horseback riding? No, I want to sit right here in my chair and yeah, that's not a thing. But I wouldn't I don't let it's not tolerated. I'm pretty tolerant, but not that one. Bridgett Burrick Brown (35:38.094) Hahaha! Bridgett Burrick Brown (35:42.604) No? Yeah. And be lazy. No. yeah, we're not, it's not a thing. Bridgett Burrick Brown (35:56.43) Yeah, no, I love it. So keeping with this like community and content creator space for a second, you said something that I loved hearing you say that it's a big responsibility to have influence. And I don't think everybody feels that way. I think a lot of people do, but explain that a little bit because I think it's I think it's important. Anna Przy (prizz) (36:13.721) Mm-hmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (36:24.151) I think it's really, I know how many people have their eyes on me and like what an amazing thing that I have is people hanging on my every word. But that's a huge responsibility and I have to be very careful like to make sure this is something I would want someone to hear. Like this is, because there are days too when I want to just be like, I hate everything. Bridgett Burrick Brown (36:35.15) Mmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (36:47.32) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (36:51.416) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (36:53.333) no, but just, it's such, it's such a gift and, and, or it's like, anything is a responsibility. Having a dog is a responsibility. It's, it's, it's, yeah, you just like, I don't want to ever take it for granted and I don't ever want to abuse it. yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (36:59.384) Yeah. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I just got a dog. Bridgett Burrick Brown (37:09.262) Yeah, yeah, I love that. What do you, do you, I guess I asked you that already. Like you sort of turned to content creating when you're like, when you're having a bad day. Cause I love that you own all the parts of you. You're not like, hey, I'm just happy and funny all the time. Anna Przy (prizz) (37:18.319) Just use it the best way I can. I don't. Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (37:28.747) No, yeah, no. And I am happy and funny sometimes, but no, when I'm sad, I'm not going to fake it because it will, you will know I'm faking it. Like if, if I go out there and try to recreate a video I made on a day when I was happy, on a day when I was sad, you'd be like, something's off. This is, and, the thing is because I'm not an actor. I'm not, I'm just a girl and I've created an entire platform and an entire online presence being myself. Bridgett Burrick Brown (37:36.503) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (37:46.465) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (37:58.317) which is also amazing, a huge gift I gave myself. I never faked it, I never pretended, I never came on when I didn't want to. Another thing is I've been doing this for five years. don't record content on vacation, ever. I never have. I have a lot of boundaries with this job where because it's a 24 hour day, because it's all the time, it's like... Bridgett Burrick Brown (38:02.958) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (38:07.938) Hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (38:14.35) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (38:25.419) I have to really, I have to choose to show up as exactly who I am because that's the only way I'm going to stay sane. And, and that's hard on the road too, you know, because I do these live shows and the, and my community wants to, is there to see me as me and I have bad days, obviously. And you know, it, it, I feel so guilty though when I don't, you know, give them what, what I know I could give them, but, at the same time, at the end of the day, everybody's so gracious because Bridgett Burrick Brown (38:31.308) Yep. Yep. I love that. Anna Przy (prizz) (38:54.851) I've set myself up to succeed in this way where everybody knows that like I am who I am and I can't really be anybody else. Bridgett Burrick Brown (39:02.324) Yeah, it sounds like too that they understand that you're sort of like healing along with them. That's what I always say in my space. like, I'm still figuring it all out. I'm healing my body image and I'm taking it one day at a time in my mental health and all that. Anna Przy (prizz) (39:04.011) Ooh, Anna Przy (prizz) (39:10.595) I'm yes. Yes. Anna Przy (prizz) (39:18.552) Yes! When people say, how did you know I needed to hear this? I'm like, we're going through this at the same time. I'm not ahead of you at anything. When I'm telling you, this is what I'm telling myself right this second. It's not like, you know, even if I've been saying it for a year, it's still this like, I'm still reprogramming my brain too. Because it was a lifetime of the same shit from every direction. Bridgett Burrick Brown (39:27.288) Mm-hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (39:35.735) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (39:44.386) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (39:49.603) Like this is what you have to do. This is what you should do. This is what you're supposed to do. Bridgett Burrick Brown (39:54.03) Do you feel like, so I also got diagnosed with ADHD a couple years ago, know, like my daughter has it and then I was like, maybe that's been my depression problem all these years. Do you think that there's a connection with... Anna Przy (prizz) (40:00.622) Hmm Anna Przy (prizz) (40:06.841) Mm-hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (40:16.118) Sorry, pause for one second. Whoa, what was my question? Huh? Anna Przy (prizz) (40:19.565) ADHD, do you think there's a connection with? Bridgett Burrick Brown (40:22.958) cut this part. I was gonna ask ADHD in comedy, but hold on, you had said something and then I went, this is called perimenopause brain by the way. You don't have that yet. You do? I'm already in menopause. I'm like, what the hell? Anna Przy (prizz) (40:32.319) I know. I have early pyramid and pause. Isn't that nice? Yeah. But also like, I did a real number on my body. So it's all messed up. Bridgett Burrick Brown (40:44.334) Yeah, yeah, I'm sure I did too. Yeah, yeah. Like I had a period for two years. I was kidding. Okay, wait, hold on. So what do I want to ask? I guess that's what I want to ask. When you, because I think if I'm remembering correctly, you found out you had ADHD a little bit older in life. Is that correct? Yeah. So did you start to put together then like the connection with depression? Anna Przy (prizz) (41:07.388) Yeah, yes. Anna Przy (prizz) (41:15.087) So more so the ADHD thing completely took away what I thought was anxiety versus the depression. It has always felt very separate from ADHD to me. Like my depression is just so like deep and sad. It's so sad. And I don't, you know, it's just like, I call it my big sad because I'm like, that's just my big sad. And we deal with her. Bridgett Burrick Brown (41:15.342) Because I know you've struggled with that, because I did. Bridgett Burrick Brown (41:25.838) Mmm Bridgett Burrick Brown (41:30.012) really? Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (41:43.102) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (41:45.327) I was best as we can, but no, the ADHD really was like, I'd always thought I had anxiety. I don't have anxiety. I had ADHD. And I was constantly frustrated at myself for all those same reasons. I couldn't keep up. I couldn't keep things straight. couldn't like, I mean, I could obviously, cause I did. But when you're in a business like that and people are like, why can't you do this? You're like, I don't know. And. Bridgett Burrick Brown (41:47.246) Mm-hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (41:54.647) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (42:11.392) Yeah, it was probably a little bit harder for you. Anna Przy (prizz) (42:14.211) Yeah, and just like you're working 9,000 times as hard and then my anxiety's through the roof because I don't understand what's wrong with me. And it was literally like eliminating that like, hey, nothing's wrong with you. Like you just don't function like that. That's just not a way that you work. And that was like my whole life, what all that anxiety came from was like my mom being like, why can't you do this? Why can't you? Bridgett Burrick Brown (42:40.654) Mmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (42:40.833) keep this straight, why can't you like, and was like, I don't know, but thanks, I'm super anxious about it now. And every step of my life, just like thinking I crippling anxiety and I didn't, I just was beating myself up constantly for not being able to do things the way other people do them. Bridgett Burrick Brown (42:47.018) Yeah, yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (43:00.0) Yeah. Do you feel like you've become more accepting to the way your brain works? Anna Przy (prizz) (43:05.144) Totally because yeah, even yesterday it's like I needed to take a shower and I took the comforter off the bed and then I started that in the wash and then I was doing the dishes because I saw some by the bed and I went to wash those and then I Was going to get the trash and then I was late and I hadn't showered yet. I was like And then Bridgett Burrick Brown (43:29.838) And you had to change your sheets yesterday. Anna Przy (prizz) (43:33.613) Yeah. And I was like, well, I was like, no, no. And like the thing I tell myself all the time is like, it all has to get done. whatever order you're doing it in, like it used to drive my husband crazy. He'd be like, why did you do like one nail and then like go over there and paint half that wall and then like go to the kitchen? And I'm like, I don't know, but it all has to get done. Bridgett Burrick Brown (43:40.396) Yeah. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (43:53.085) God, I can do that so well. I'm like I'm doing like 17 things. It's a little bit of a genius mind. I'm just saying. Anna Przy (prizz) (43:55.299) You're just, yeah, but it's it's, yeah, right. But it's just that permission now where I'm like, it all has to get done versus being so frustrated. Like, why would you do it like this? Why on God's greeners did you do that? And how did you end up in the basement sorting photos? And it's like, well, it all has to get done. Bridgett Burrick Brown (44:04.332) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (44:08.366) Mm-hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (44:17.4) Well, it's like bringing perfectionism into even like how our brain works or our mental health. I remember I had a session with my therapist like six months ago and she's like, so you're telling me that your mental health isn't perfect enough, like the heal it. And I was like, whatever, you know, I was like, guess, yeah. But I was, was. Anna Przy (prizz) (44:24.335) Mm-hmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (44:35.753) Yeah, you're not you're not healing fast enough. I don't know if you know this, but. Bridgett Burrick Brown (44:40.654) coming to her like week after week being like, okay, so if I can tweak this and I can do this and she's like, you can't control, you you can't. Anna Przy (prizz) (44:47.983) That's a huge lesson that you can't overachieve your way through any of it. Whatever it is, doesn't matter in your whole life. There's not anything you can actually overachieve your way through because you've got a corner somewhere along the way. And I just remember like when I was in a terrible, terrible, terrible burnout in the pandemic from 15 years of running myself into the ground and just being like, I'm going to drink a tea and take a nap. Bridgett Burrick Brown (44:52.27) Mm-hmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (45:16.411) And I'm going to take these vitamins and I'm going to not be burnt out anymore. And it's like, that is literally not how that works. And. I'm still resting, I think. I think I'm still like on the come down from a lifetime of chaos. Bridgett Burrick Brown (45:23.446) Yeah. Did you rest for a while? Do you feel like? Yeah. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (45:35.342) Yeah, yeah. It's an ongoing journey that healing tell you. So... Anna Przy (prizz) (45:39.991) Yeah, yeah, definitely don't feel like pumped back up yet or anything. Well, I'm always in my bed. It's nice because it's comfy. Bridgett Burrick Brown (45:45.39) Well, you're in your bed. that you created your show in your bed. It's genius. You're like, I'm gonna film a show and then I might take a nap after. Anna Przy (prizz) (45:58.657) I literally have done that. Bridgett Burrick Brown (46:00.47) You shut, my God. Okay. Anna Przy (prizz) (46:02.101) Or if I have two podcasts in a day, then I'll nap in between them. So smart. Bridgett Burrick Brown (46:05.566) yeah, totally. Two podcasts a day is like, it's intense. Okay, you've coined the line, it's manifesting. Look it up. Tell us about like your spiritual journey and like, are you a big manifester? Anna Przy (prizz) (46:14.507) Yes! Anna Przy (prizz) (46:18.743) I'm sure not. I don't know anything woo woo at all, but I love it. Like, it's so funny when people are like, you're like, do you believe in all that stuff? And I'm like, yeah, why not? Like, I will take anything that could possibly make my life easier. And so, yeah, now I'm like, yeah, bring on the crystals, the moon, all of it. I'll take it. no, my hand fastening wasn't a total joke. It's not a joke, because it works. Bridgett Burrick Brown (46:24.501) Sure enough. Bridgett Burrick Brown (46:33.634) Yeah, yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (46:40.514) Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (46:49.315) But to me, that's just speaking things into existence. And I've always loved getting, that's why I'm always shouting outside. It's, hate holding stuff inside of me, because I physically feel it. Like, that's a... Bridgett Burrick Brown (47:01.4) So do you go outside and scream? Do your neighbors live close? Do they love it? Do they say hi? Do they come out and watch the show? Anna Przy (prizz) (47:04.963) They do live close. No, they don't. They don't. One person, so she doesn't live next door anymore. But my neighbor's ex-girlfriend, she, one day I was out manifesting and I look over and she's standing in my driveway in her room and she goes, I knew it was you. Because she was like, I have been following you online. And I was like, I think that might be my neighbor. And then so she came over, she's like, I knew it. Bridgett Burrick Brown (47:25.806) You're like, come join me. Anna Przy (prizz) (47:34.359) No, it's like that's so funny. No, but I'm I always laugh because I don't manifest anymore. And people say, why don't you manifest anymore? And I said, because all my dreams came true. And that's the truth. It's like I don't have it's so sappy and and cliche, but it's just like, I don't know. I just don't have like I don't I don't have those the biggest complaints about everything right now. I mean, right now, yes, but that's separate. Bridgett Burrick Brown (47:35.01) That's amazing. That's amazing. Bridgett Burrick Brown (47:45.168) Aww. Anna Przy (prizz) (48:03.279) Right now is a tough timeline to be living in, but my life was like, what more could I want? Bridgett Burrick Brown (48:03.731) Ha ha! Bridgett Burrick Brown (48:12.226) Your consent. Anna Przy (prizz) (48:12.449) And I'm so content and that's like the weirdest, most calming, most like, I'm not buzzing. I literally just thought about it. was like, I'm not buzzing. You know, I'm not like, I'm so still and it's just because I give myself so much permission, maybe too much permission for wherever I'm at, whatever I'm doing. And I say this all the time, like wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you're already enough. like. Bridgett Burrick Brown (48:23.382) I love that. That's really cool. Bridgett Burrick Brown (48:32.814) Mm-mm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (48:38.584) Yeah. Yeah. How? Anna Przy (prizz) (48:40.769) If you want to do more, you can, but if you don't want to do more, you don't have to. Bridgett Burrick Brown (48:44.662) Yeah. And can you expand that a little bit further? Like, how do you really embody just saying like, I'm enough exactly how I am? Anna Przy (prizz) (48:54.447) just saying it over and over and over and over again until one day you wake up and you believe it. And I will get messages from people and they're like, you're finally the voice in my head. Like that's what I've been waiting for. And, like, it's like, if you listen enough and you hear the message enough, if you hear that you're enough over and over and every day. I mean, I these subscribers to my morning show that has a lot of repetition in it, but like, it's just like every single day hearing Bridgett Burrick Brown (49:06.434) Hmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (49:23.343) that you're enough and that you're doing it and like you can keep doing this. It's like, I don't know, there's something about it that just rewired. I think you really just rewired my brain. I think I just like. Bridgett Burrick Brown (49:27.222) Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Bridgett Burrick Brown (49:33.386) Yeah. And you can do it exactly how you want to do it. I think that's a big message of yours too. Anna Przy (prizz) (49:38.913) Yeah. Yeah. And it's like, we didn't rush through any of this either. That's the thing. I've been creating content for five years. And if you go back and watch the early content, I've changed a lot, you know, like even in how the messages have just become even bigger and wilder and like, wow, you can do whatever you want. But if you go back, it is kind of like me exploring little things like. Yeah, like maybe I could lower the bar for me a little bit. Bridgett Burrick Brown (50:01.952) Like maybe I can do whatever I want. And then it's like, you're healing. Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (50:06.519) Yeah. And, and over and over. Yeah. Somebody said they went, they spent a day watching my content back and she goes, it was really crazy to watch you in real time, like grow. And, and I was like, that's really cool that I have that like online, like digital diary that if I really want to, yeah, I hate to go back and look at it though. It's so embarrassing, but. Bridgett Burrick Brown (50:16.716) Yeah, that's so cool. Bridgett Burrick Brown (50:23.182) It's like your diary. Bridgett Burrick Brown (50:28.258) But so, but so good. Now, now I'm, that's what I'm doing tonight. Wait, so when you go out to record a video, do you know what you're going to say? Okay. Anna Przy (prizz) (50:37.261) Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything is very intentional. The reason people are like, how is this so impactful? And it is because it takes me an hour to write a 30 second clip because I can take a full page of info and then I try to get it into like the least amount of words as possible to like still have you get the message that I intend for you to hear. And I also... Bridgett Burrick Brown (50:49.612) Okay, okay. Bridgett Burrick Brown (50:58.648) Yeah, okay. Anna Przy (prizz) (51:06.592) Yeah, that's very intentional. know, it's like none of it's accidental, but the message is the same either way. I could do it long form. I could go out there for a minute and say full sentences, but no one's going to listen. So it's like, I got to. Bridgett Burrick Brown (51:20.45) I was just thinking, if you come up with those little lines just on the fly, I'm like, whoa. Anna Przy (prizz) (51:25.409) No, I'll change it like a little. Like if I think something sounds funnier or I say it the way I wanted to say it and I'm like, meh, sounds yucky or, or I can't say it. There's, I don't know if it's an ADHD thing where like I'll trip over words and I'll try like the same sentence over and over. I'm like, I can't say it. I can't say it in that order. Like, yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (51:41.165) yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (51:46.306) Sometimes I say my words backwards in a sentence and I'll hear myself say it and I'm like, whoa, I just flipped my words. Anna Przy (prizz) (51:53.389) No, I would love to have that ability, but I'm not that talented. Bridgett Burrick Brown (51:59.126) I mean, it's a really weird talent that just messes me up. you mean the talent of going out there. Yeah, sorry. I thought you meant a flipping words. I'm like, I don't think you want to have that one. Anna Przy (prizz) (52:02.273) Yeah, it's weird that I can even write it though, you know? It's, it's, and then it's that also just like, no, that's not hard. no, I, I, it is good to force myself to go outside though. I won't record inside. So it's like very helpful. Bridgett Burrick Brown (52:19.404) Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. You roll around in the snow. I love it. Okay, so we're going to finish up. I have one final question that I ask all my guests. But before that, is there anything like you want to chat about that I didn't touch on? I think we did it. I think we did a good job, right? Okay, okay. Okay, so final question is how would you define beauty? Anna Przy (prizz) (52:23.033) Mm-hmm. Anna Przy (prizz) (52:28.387) Okay. Anna Przy (prizz) (52:36.609) I think we're doing great. Yeah, I think so. Anna Przy (prizz) (52:47.779) my gosh. comfort. just that like contentment maybe, I think. Yeah, I think that's like, I think that's so beautiful. And so just like, also just existing. mean, that's the other thing. It's, you know, in the end of the Barbie movie and she looks at the old lady and she goes, you're so beautiful. And she goes, I know. And I'm like, that's it. That's like, it's just. Bridgett Burrick Brown (52:49.226) Mmm. Aww. Peace. Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (53:11.286) Yeah. Yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (53:15.437) It has nothing to do with like your body's least interesting thing about you. And I really believe that now, where I'm like, if you could see in my brain, are you kidding me? Bridgett Burrick Brown (53:19.362) Yeah. Bridgett Burrick Brown (53:23.886) Totally. My brain is so cool. Anna Przy (prizz) (53:25.859) That's so chaos and rainbows and unicorns. Sunshine in there. Very beautiful. Bridgett Burrick Brown (53:28.576) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love. Yeah. Can you hear my stomach, by the way? It is. Can you? I mean, it is like it's like really loud over here. That smoothie. I know I did. I think it's in like I think it's in like that skin suit. my God. It's like, wow. Tell everybody about your morning show, your Anna Przy (prizz) (53:33.763) Yeah, I can. That was weird. I think you should eat something. Feel that beautiful, feel that beautiful skin. Anna Przy (prizz) (53:57.441) Yes! Yes, so I have a daily morning show on Patreon. It is so fun. It kind of, it's just like motivation and chaos. And there's a segment called What's the Moon Up To? Where I try to talk about the moon. And I just, leave you with a daily assignment that's usually like brush your teeth. So it's always really exciting, you know. Bridgett Burrick Brown (53:58.326) Yeah, tell us everything you want to tell us. Bridgett Burrick Brown (54:22.008) This is amazing. Anna Przy (prizz) (54:23.061) Yeah, it's so fun. It's like five to eight minutes every day. So it's not like a huge commitment. The idea is that you would listen to it right when you woke up and that would get you like. Actually, it says it's either get on with your day or go back to bed. That's the the premise. You get to decide after the show, because this is your life. You get to decide that. I say that like four times during the show. I don't ever want people to think I'm telling them what to do. It's still your life. You get to decide, but. Bridgett Burrick Brown (54:37.07) five minutes. Bridgett Burrick Brown (54:42.039) Yep. limit. Bridgett Burrick Brown (54:49.546) Yeah, yeah. Anna Przy (prizz) (54:49.697) I have the morning show. I have a book called Keep It Up Cutie that you can get anywhere, literally, Amazon, Barnes and Noble. It's really cute. The first time I read it, I started crying because it literally looks like the inside of my brain. I couldn't believe it. And it comes with stickers. So it's like, yep. Exactly. And I'm touring. I have a show in Cleveland on February 28th. Bridgett Burrick Brown (54:56.462) I just ordered it. Bridgett Burrick Brown (55:11.288) Who doesn't like stickers?
