Welcome to another deep(er) dive into the world of anxiety and panic. This week, we talk about how the attacks can turn into disorders and the havoc it can wreak on someone's life. Stress is a normal part of life and everyone experiences it in different ways. But stress, even BIG stress, is not a disorder. It is bothersome, it can cause pain and anguish, and mirror most of the same symptoms that anxiety presents as.

We touch on anticipatory anxiety, specific phobias and each of our struggles with the invisible monster. This episode was a tough one, especially for me (Jen). I share some intimate details of my life that still break my heart and are definitely not easy to openly admit. The vulnerability game is high in this episode. We hope that you can recognize that you are NOT alone, that we all suffer differently (but there is no one "right" way to struggle), and we all recover at our own pace. Be gentle with yourself. It's rough enough out there as it is.


*Please note: On the day of recording, Mita was dealing with Post-Exertional Malaise, so if you hear sighs and low energy, she was not bored. Or so she says...LOL

** Also, I said, "Oh my God, she fucking broke her neck" NOT "Oh my God, she finally broke her neck". Mita thinks I am a monster. I really try hard not to be.


"That's part of anxiety and panic. It is not rational.Your body reacts and you don't really have a say; The rational part of your brain does not have a say when it happens." -Mita


So break your big reach goals into manageable steps. You can do this. And maybe I can too. Love and light, Jen ♥
