I loved this conversation as it was amazing to talk about some topics not yet covered on the podcast such as post-partum anxiety and the growing pressures on women today. In this episode we talked all about: - Silja's own journey from model to psychologist & techpreneur - Her own struggle with post-partum anxiety - The importance healing our own wounds so we don't pass them onto our children - Why and how A.I & gaming apps can help our mental health & even depression - The power of service and gratitude - Why no matter what qualification we may have - we all struggle in our own ways and need to ask for help sometimes - The raising pressures on women today And so much more...

Silja has multiple articles published in peer-reviewed journals and two evidence-based mobile mental health applications making her one of the UK’s leaders in mobile mental health.
