Description

Have you ever felt like anxiety came out of nowhere and completely took over? This week's guest, Elizabeth, shares her powerful story of going from a fiercely independent, active life to being suddenly debilitated by panic attacks and physical sensations that left her feeling like her "body was on fire."

Elizabeth opens up about her journey over the past year, from frantic ER visits and avoiding driving to the profound awakening that helped her heal. Her story is a testament to the power of slowing down, giving yourself grace, and finally learning to feel your emotions instead of stuffing them down.

We discuss the frustrating pressure to find a "quick fix" and the realization that true progress isn't the absence of anxiety, but how you learn to show up for yourself through it. If you've ever felt isolated by your anxiety or believed you were too "strong" to be struggling, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How anxiety can seemingly appear out of nowhere, even without a prior history.
  • The frustrating search for answers and the cycle of trying "all the things" to get rid of the feeling.
  • A powerful breakdown of physical anxiety symptoms and what it truly feels like when your "body is on fire."
  • The long-term impact of suppressing emotions and how it can lead to an overflow of anxiety.
  • How debilitating panic can make everyday activities like driving or being alone feel impossible.
  • The turning point: shifting from resisting anxiety to acknowledging and feeling your emotions.
  • The role that high-stress jobs and relationship strain can play in triggering anxiety.
  • The "awakening" that led to setting boundaries, leaving a job that no longer served her, and reconnecting with her true self.
  • Heartfelt words of wisdom for anyone who feels lost in the thick of panic and anxiety right now.
