Poppy Jamie

Poppy Jamie started her career as the youngest presenter on Britain's ITN and continued to make her name as an influencer and entrepreneur, launching the first-ever talk show on Snapchat and starting a line of handbags with her best friend, model Suki Waterhouse. But despite outwardly living an enviable life, she was suffering from extreme anxiety and eventually was hospitalized after a mental breakdown. The experience led her to create a website and write a new book, both titled Happy Not Perfect. Here, she shares the story of her own experience with mental illness and recovery, as told to PEOPLE.

Skin care brand Erno Laszlo is teaming with Poppy Jamie to introduce mental health-focused content. “A friend was telling me about this amazing lady who’s a sort of champion of mental wellness,” Erno Laszlo’s chairman and chief executive officer Charles Denton said of Jamie, the English influencer, entrepreneur and founder of the Happy Not Perfect podcast and app.
