Episode 6: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTubeView transcript on Buzzsprout You understand what anxiety is and you’ve mapped your personal patterns—but you’re still asking the most important question: “How do I actually make it stop when it’s happening?” You’ve tried meditation when you’re panicking, deep breathing when you’re spiraling, and positive affirmations when your […]

For years, I cycled through therapy and meds, wondering why nothing was really sticking. You too? Then you’re in the right place.
Turns out, the problem wasn’t me—and it’s not you, either. Anxiety and depression are symptoms of a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

I’m so glad you’re here. 🤍
