July 01, 2024 137: How to Stop a Panic Attack (Or Better Yet, How to Stop Them Long-Term)
Experiencing panic attacks and want them to stop? This episode is for you! (It's also for you if you aren't experiencing panic because you're doing everything to try to avoid them at all costs and your life feels pretty limited!)
Back when I was dealing with panic attacks, I tried everything to make them stop—breathing exercises, grounding practices, distraction techniques, you name it. While these things can provide short-term relief, they don't help you build trust and confidence in yourself or lead to long-term healing.
In this episode, I'm sharing how you can achieve long-term relief. I'll provide tips that will help relieve anxiety, prevent panic attacks, and stop them from appearing in the first place, bringing you the relief and freedom you deserve!

June 19, 2024 135: A Lesson in Anxiety From My 5-Year-Old Being Sick
So recently my family hasn’t been able to catch a break from all the sicknesses! My 5-year-old, Amelia, had the worst of it when she caught norovirus, and it was the sickest she’s ever been!
This sickness was super hard for her. After spending so much time feeling sick, she developed lots of what-if thoughts that sounded like…
-What if I get sick at school?
-What if I embarrass myself because I’m sick?
-What if I have to throw up again and the sickness comes back?
…If you struggle with anxiety, I’m sure you can relate. But Amelia’s story is such a powerful reminder that anxiety doesn’t discriminate, and it really just wants to protect us.
In this episode, we’ll talk about how I supported my daughter through all of the what-if thoughts, so you can learn how to better support yourself, too.
Make sure to tune into the full episode for all the helpful goodness!
