May 20, 2025 S06 E14 00:34:54

In this powerful episode, Eli sits down with Carrie Berk, an NYC-based journalist, content creator, and bestselling author, to explore her personal journey with anxiety and OCD. Carrie opens up about the inspiration behind her book Mindfire and how she’s helping young adults feel seen, understood, and less alone in their mental health struggles.

With a career that started at just eight years old, Carrie has written 21 books, including My Real-Life Rom-Com, a Barnes & Noble bestseller and Amazon chart-topper. Her work has been featured in the New York Post, HuffPost, Women’s Health, and Newsweek. She’s also built a massive digital presence, with over 3.8 million followers on TikTok and nearly a million on Instagram.

In this conversation, Carrie gets real about therapy, coping strategies, and the power of sharing your story. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety or supporting someone who is, this episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t mean perfection and community is everything.
