Ilona shares a personal story about how trauma led to her own anxiety, highlighting the importance of tools for managing it, such as deep breathing and gratitude.

The hosts discuss how anxiety can manifest physically and mentally, touching on generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, and the impact of social disconnection, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.
