Ever experienced that gut-wrenching feeling of anxiety? You're not alone. Join me as I share my personal battle with a recent anxiety crisis while prepping for a speaking engagement in Bulgaria and the struggles of recording YouTube videos amidst the chaos. Discover how I turned my anxiety into an opportunity for growth and learning, and how you can too.

Learn the importance of building resilience and staying centred to tackle anxiety-inducing situations like a pro.

Lastly, we're sharing our top tips and advice on how to face anxiety head-on. From slowing down our breathing to grounding ourselves in our environment, these simple techniques can help you manage anxiety in your everyday life. Remember, anxiety is finite and a natural response to stepping outside of our comfort zone. So tune in, and let's conquer anxiety together.
