About this listen

What happens when a stable, well regarded career suddenly feels empty?


In this episode of Shameless Careers, Anastasia Tolstova shares her deeply personal story of spiralling into depression, battling anxiety, panic attacks, and an eating disorder - and how that mental health crisis became the catalyst for an entirely new career path.


Anastasia walked away from nearly two decades in finance to retrain as a psychotherapist and build her own private practice. In the interview we talk about:

- Hitting rock bottom: depression, burnout, and mental health leave

- Reframing crisis as a gift and a chance for reinvention

- How helping others became more meaningful than her banking career
