Tall Poppy Syndrome might silence some creators, but not this one.


Kim Crossman is the host of Pretty Depressed, a podcast that began as a personal outlet and grew into a powerful mental health resource. A household name in New Zealand, Kim is an actress, author, comedian, and TV presenter who’s now using podcasting to flip the script on Tall Poppy Syndrome and open up honest conversations around depression, ambition, and creativity.
 
In this episode, you’ll learn:
 -How growing up with Tall Poppy Syndrome shaped Kim’s approach to self-promotion, and how she’s learning to shine unapologetically
 -Why she chose not to monetize her mental health podcast (and what it’s helping her build instead)
 -How she leverages her acting and hosting career to bring surprising depth and diversity to her episodes
 -The cultural contrasts between New Zealand and the U.S., and how she’s combining the best of both
 -Why podcasting from a small country isn’t a barrier to global reach (and how tech and strategy make the difference)
 -The personal story behind her podcast’s origin, and how it became a weekly self-care ritual
